Install FiveM, RedM, BeamMP or Minecraft in one click

By Tom PearceNovember 13, 20262 min read

The Game installs tab sets up a game server for you. There's nothing to download yourself, no firewall rules to add and no start scripts to write.

Install a game

  1. Open your server in the panel and click Game installs.
  2. On the game you want, click Install.
  3. Fill in anything the game asks for (see below), then click Install in the box.
  4. The card shows the progress. Most installs take a few minutes.
The install box
Confirm the install. Nothing else on your server is changed.

Each game installs to its own folder, such as C:\HTN\FiveM, opens its ports in Windows Firewall, and starts in a window on the server's desktop.

What each game needs

FiveM and RedM. These install with txAdmin. When the install finishes, click Details on the card and open the txAdmin link (it looks like http://your-ip:40120). Then follow txAdmin's setup to finish. Have your Cfx.re key ready, because txAdmin asks for it.

The Details box for FiveM
Details shows the txAdmin link for FiveM and RedM.

BeamMP. You can paste your BeamMP AuthKey (from keymaster.beammp.com) when you install, or add it later in ServerConfig.toml in the game's folder and restart the server.

Minecraft (Java Edition). Tick the box to accept the Minecraft EULA. The server can't run without it. Java is included, and the server uses up to half of your VPS's memory. It's ready to join as soon as it finishes.

How players join

Click Details on the card to see the exact address. Players connect to your server's IP with the game's port. For example, FiveM uses port 30120. Minecraft on the default port 25565 needs just the IP.

💡
Tip: Want to make sure players can get in? Click Check connection on the card. See Check that players can connect.

Removing a game

Click Details, then Remove. This stops the server and removes its firewall rules. The folder is moved to C:\HTN\_removed rather than deleted, so nothing is lost, and you can install the game again later.

Good to know

  • The game runs in a window on the desktop of whoever is logged in. If nobody is logged in, connect once with Remote Desktop and then disconnect. Don't sign out, or the window can't open.
  • If the panel says Agent update needed, your server's helper is updating itself. Wait a few minutes, or restart the server to update it straight away.
