Finding your instances

What is an instance?

An instance is a game "profile" on your server. Instances allow you to install multiple versions of Minecraft or a modpack on your server.

To manage an instance, locate the instance you wish to manage in the Games & Software tab. You will be taken to the Console page of the chosen instance, where you will be able to navigate to the different management and settings pages of the instance.

info

You can run multiple instances simultaneously, provided you have enough RAM and disk space. When you start a new instance, the CreeperPanel will automatically assign it an available port to avoid conflicts. Connect via HOSTNAMEorIP:portnumber – e.g., myserver.playat.ch:29974. You can find these details using the Connect to Server button on the chosen instance's page.
