How do I create a database?
Go to the Databases page, click Create Database, select the type (MySQL, PostgreSQL, or MongoDB), optionally enter a custom name, and click Create Database. Your credentials (host, port, username, password) appear in the Details panel. Free plans allow 5 databases per server; premium allows 20.
What database type should I use?
Most Minecraft plugins use MySQL — choose this if you are unsure. MySQL uses port 3306 and includes phpMyAdmin for web-based management. PostgreSQL (port 5432) is common for web applications and custom bots. MongoDB (port 27017) is a NoSQL option for applications needing flexible document storage.
How do I connect a plugin to my database?
Click Details on your database to view the host address, port, username, and password (click the eye icon to reveal). Copy the connection string or individual fields into your plugin's config file. MySQL JDBC format:
jdbc:mysql://host:3306/dbname. Each field has a copy button for convenience.What can I use a database for?
Databases store plugin data like player permissions (LuckPerms), economy balances (Vault/EssentialsX), bans, homes, and warps. They are essential for networks running multiple servers that need to share data across a BungeeCord or Velocity proxy. Custom applications and bots also use databases for persistent storage.
How do I manage my database with phpMyAdmin?
phpMyAdmin is available for MySQL databases only. Click the phpMyAdmin button to get a 60-second SSO token that logs you in automatically. From there you can browse tables, run SQL queries, import/export data, and manage database structure — all through a web interface without needing an external database client.
How do I rotate my database password?
Click Rotate on your database and confirm. The new password applies immediately — you will need to update any plugins or applications that use the old password. To delete a database, click Delete, type the exact database name, and confirm. Deletion is permanent and irreversible.
