How to Add a MySQL Database to Your Minecraft Server

How to add a MySQL Database to your server

This guide will walk you through the process of adding a MySQL database to your Minecraft server. MySQL databases are a great and efficient way to store and access data, typically from various plugins. Databases are also useful in server networks to sync information such as players ranks or any in-game currency. 

Creating a database

1. Open your Nodecraft Dashboard for your Minecraft server.

2. Click on Panel.

   Note: If you are on a Lite server you may need to wake it first before the panel option is available. 

3. Once on your panel, locate the Databases menu located on your sidebar.

4. From the MySQL page click the Create Database button which is located near the upper right corner of your screen. 

5. Once created, the information is hidden by default but can be shown by clicking the Show button. 

You have now added a MySQL database to your minecraft server. While you can only create a single database per server you are able to use the same database for multiple plugins and servers.
