ServerFlared

# ServerFlared ServerFlared is a mod that automatically creates and manages a Cloudflare Tunnel for your Minecraft server, allowing players to connect without exposing your public IP address or manually configuring port forwarding. ## Requirements * A Cloudflare account * A domain name connected to Cloudflare * (**For client/players only**) [cloudflared](https://developers.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-one/networks/connectors/cloudflare-tunnel/downloads/) program (_this mod does the work of automatic managing cloudflared in your server_) ## Installation * Install the mod into `mods` folder * Launch Minecraft server * Configure `config.yml` and change `tunnelName` and `hostName` * Relaunch server to update configuration ## Features * Automatic Cloudflare Tunnel setup – Creates and manages a Cloudflare Tunnel with minimal configuration by authenticating your Cloudflare account. * Automatic [cloudflared](https://developers.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-one/networks/connectors/cloudflare-tunnel/downloads/) download – Downloads the required [cloudflared](https://developers.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-one/networks/connectors/cloudflare-tunnel/downloads/) binary automatically, reducing manual installation steps. (It automatically works with existing [cloudflared](https://developers.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-one/networks/connectors/cloudflare-tunnel/downloads/) installation in your machine!) * Seamless tunnel configuration – Generates and maintains the necessary tunnel configuration, so you only need to specify their tunnel and hostname. * Integrated tunnel lifecycle – Starts and stops the Cloudflare Tunnel alongside the Minecraft server, ensuring the tunnel is always available while the server is running. * Secure remote access – Allows players to connect through a Cloudflare-managed hostname instead of exposing the server's IP address. Ideal for NAT-restricted networks – Makes hosting possible even when traditional port forwarding is unavailable or impractical. Also works best small servers (e.g. with your friends) ## License [GPL-3.0](https://github.com/GerGerApex1/serverflared/blob/master/LICENSE) ## References https://developers.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-one/access-controls/applications/non-http/cloudflared-authentication/arbitrary-tcp/#connect-from-a-client-machine https://developers.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-one/networks/connectors/cloudflare-tunnel/
