Minecraft App

Pair your Minecraft server, deliver packages via the Storra plugin, and show live server status on your storefront.

The Minecraft app is the bundle that turns a generic Storra storefront into a Minecraft server store. It auto-installs when you pick "Minecraft" as your game during signup, and contributes everything Minecraft-specific — package delivery to your server, RCON / plugin pairing, customer Minecraft username collection at checkout, and a server-status section for your storefront.

What the Minecraft app provides

Server pairing

The app adds the Game Servers page where you connect Storra to your Minecraft server. Two pairing options:

  • Storra plugin (recommended) — install the plugin JAR on your server, paste a server ID + pairing secret into the plugin's config, and your server connects to Storra automatically. Works behind firewalls.
  • RCON — connect via Minecraft's built-in RCON protocol. Requires open RCON port + password.

See Game Servers for the full pairing walkthrough.

Package delivery

Once a server is paired, packages can target it for delivery. When a customer pays, the Minecraft app translates the order's deliverables into commands the server runs — game commands like lp user <player> parent set vip, item-give commands, plugin-specific commands. Customers receive their items in-game within seconds of payment.

Username collection

Storefront checkout includes a Minecraft username field — required if any of the customer's basket items deliver to a Minecraft server. The app validates the username against Mojang's API at checkout and stores both the username and Mojang UUID with the order.

Server status section

The app contributes a server-status section to the visual editor. Add it to your home page (or any other page) to show online/offline status, current player count, and ping. Updates live as the server's status changes.

Workbench RCON console

The Minecraft app surfaces an RCON console in the dashboard's Workbench panel — type a server command and see the response, useful for debugging delivery issues without leaving Storra. See Workbench RCON console.

Setup checklist

  1. Pick "Minecraft" during signup so the Minecraft app installs automatically.
  2. Add your server in Game Servers.
  3. Install the Storra plugin on your server (or configure RCON). See Plugin installation.
  4. Verify the server status flips to Online in the dashboard.
  5. Create a test package with a simple game command deliverable, run a $0.50 test order to confirm delivery works end-to-end.

FAQ

I picked the wrong game at signup. Can I change to Minecraft now?

Contact support — game choice is set at signup and not user-changeable today. We can switch your store to the Minecraft vertical, which auto-installs this app.

Can I run multiple servers on one Storra store?

Yes. Add each server separately on the Game Servers page; each has its own pairing credentials. When you create packages, you choose which server (or which group of servers) the deliverable targets.

What if my server is offline when an order completes?

The plugin queues pending commands on Storra's side. When the server comes back online and the plugin reconnects, the queued commands run automatically. Customers don't lose their items — they just receive them when the server is reachable.
