Your first world,
one step at a time.

1. Install EnderBase

Run the Windows installer. Choose its app folder, finish setup, and open EnderBase from its desktop shortcut. Setup creates a workspace in Documents\EnderBase\EnderBase-data. Server files live separately from the app’s installation.

2. Activate your access

Open License & access. Paste your license key and choose Activate key. If the site is still private, copy your device ID and ask the owner for an offline activation. Paste that signed text into Import offline access.

Keep a copy of your access

Sign in from My account with your verified email, Google, or Discord account once customer sign-in is configured. Download your license key there. In the launcher, choose Save activation backup. A lifetime device activation remains usable offline on the same device; monthly access lasts through the paid date. A new device still needs activation from the service or owner.

3. Pick a server

Open Server setup, choose an included server type, and load its versions. Refresh fetches the live project catalog without an app update. Select a compatible Minecraft version and loader. Manual JAR profiles accept a typed version without a catalog. Use the automatic server folder, choose an empty custom folder, or make a new folder inside the app. Name your profile, then install.

4. Check Java and the EULA

Choose the Java executable in App settings. Newer Minecraft releases can require a newer Java runtime; EnderBase checks the requirement. Review the Minecraft EULA and accept it yourself before your first launch. Set RAM within your computer’s available memory.

5. Start & connect

Start the server and watch Live console until Minecraft reports it is ready. On the same computer, connect using 127.0.0.1:25565 if you kept the default port. Other devices on your home network use the local address shown in Connections. Internet access needs port forwarding or a supported tunnel.

6. Make it yours

Stop the server before editing its files. Gold and above include modded server types, manual mod imports, world backups, and the configuration editor. Diamond and Netherite include mod, plugin, and modpack catalogs with version/dependency review. Modpacks install into a dedicated new profile; player controls and game rules are on Players & rules. Some mods also need matching client files for each player.

Upgrade a server safely

Stop the server and create a full backup before changing its JAR, loader, or Minecraft version. Install and test the newer release in a separate profile. When importing a JAR, confirm the new type and version; old loader/build metadata is cleared. Upstream API changes may still need an app update. Prepared server-folder connection and manual import provide an offline fallback.

Keep your world

Use Stop server so Minecraft saves gracefully. Updating the installed app keeps the Documents workspace. World backups include world dimensions and server.properties; Create full backup also includes mods, plugins, permissions, and settings, and restores as a fresh profile. App updates checks signed releases and waits for your click before installation.
