Before you install

Java 21.
Paper / Folia — the baseline named in this plugin's setup notes. Check version compatibility before choosing a newer version.

01Install the plugin

Stop your server before adding or replacing a plugin JAR. Back up existing plugin data when updating.
Place StrawBaltop.jar in the server's plugins/ folder. Install only one variant of this product.
Install the required dependencies listed above, then start the server once.

02Add your license key

Open StrawIO Panel to view and manage your product license. Copy the key for StrawBaltop.

Stop the server and open plugins/StrawBaltop/license.yml. Paste the key into the existing top-level key value; do not add an extra license: section.

03Choose storage

For one server, leave mode: single in storage.yml. The supplied SQLite setup works without MySQL credentials.

For shared network data, choose mode: multi, fill in the MySQL connection fields, and use a different server-id on every server. Configure this before accepting player data.

mode: multi
multi:
  type: mysql
  host: "YOUR-DATABASE-HOST"
  port: 3306
  database: "YOUR-DATABASE"
  username: "YOUR-USER"
  password: "YOUR-PASSWORD"
