1. Get a server token
Section titled “1. Get a server token”Every plugin that talks to a backend needs a server token. One token works for all plugins on one server; use a separate token per server so you can revoke them one by one.
2. Install ForgeRelay first
Section titled “2. Install ForgeRelay first”ForgeRelay installs and updates the other plugins, so you never copy jars by hand
again. Drop ForgeRelay-1.3.2.jar into plugins/, start the server, paste the token into
plugins/ForgeRelay/config.yml and run /forgerelay reload.
3. Add plugins
Section titled “3. Add plugins”/forgerelay install StreamGate/forgerelay install SaunaCacheEach plugin is downloaded to plugins/ and loads on the next restart. Its config is written on first
start; the server-token field is filled from ForgeRelay’s.
4. Check
Section titled “4. Check”/forgerelay list shows every installed plugin, its version and channel. Each plugin also has a
status command, for example /streamgate status.
