Set up a Minecraft server with AI.
Tell Conny what kind of server you want and it writes the configuration: server.properties, the Paper and Spigot files, your plugins’ configs. You bring the server. Conny is the admin, not the host.
What you need first
- A Minecraft server you can reach over SFTP. Most hosting panels list SFTP details (host, port, username and password) on the server’s settings page. A VPS or a machine at home works too, with an SSH key if you prefer.
- A Conny account. You sign in with Google or Discord, so there is no new password to make up.
Conny does not host servers. If you don’t have one yet, rent one from any host that gives you SFTP access, then come back here.
Three steps from sign-in to a configured server
- 1. Sign in. Open chat.connyai.com and sign in with Google or Discord.
- 2. Add your server. Enter its SFTP host, port and username, plus a password or an SSH private key. Your credentials are encrypted before they are stored, and nobody you invite can see them. How credentials are protected.
- 3. Describe the server you want. In plain words. Conny reads what is already on the box, tells you what it plans to change, and asks before it does anything risky.
Things to ask for
Say it the way you would to a friend who runs servers. For example:
A survival server for about 20 friends. Hard difficulty, whitelist on, no PvP near spawn.
Give moderators kick, mute and tempban with LuckPerms, but not ban.
Players on bad connections keep timing out. Make the server lighter to run without making it look worse.
Change the MOTD and server icon, and turn off the nether until the weekend event.
What Conny edits
Conny works on the files, so it isn’t tied to one server jar. The ones most setups touch:
server.properties:motd,max-players,difficulty,gamemode,white-list,pvp,spawn-protection,view-distance,simulation-distance,online-mode.bukkit.ymlandspigot.yml: spawn limits, entity activation range, item merge radius.config/paper-global.ymlandconfig/paper-world-defaults.ymlon Paper: chunk, entity and redstone behaviour.- Plugin configs under
plugins/: EssentialsX, LuckPerms, WorldGuard and the rest. - Proxy configs such as Velocity’s
velocity.toml, when you run a network.
You stay in charge of the server
- Approvals. Risky actions stop and ask first. You can allow once, always allow, or deny.
- Every edit can be undone. Conny records what each file looked like before it changed it.
- Deletes aren’t final. Deleted files go to a recoverable bin on your server rather than disappearing.
- It shows its work. You see the file, the change and the command output, including when something fails.
Set up your server now
Sign in, add your server’s SFTP details, and tell Conny what you want it to be.
Works with any host that gives you SFTP access.Questions
Can AI set up a Minecraft server for me?
Yes, on a server you already have. Connect it to Conny over SFTP and describe what you want, and Conny writes server.properties, the Spigot and Paper configs and your plugin configs, then tells you what it changed.
Does Conny host my Minecraft server?
No. Conny is the admin, not the host. You keep your server wherever it runs now, whether that is a hosting company, a VPS or a machine at home, and Conny connects to it over SFTP.
Which hosts work with Conny?
Any host that gives you SFTP access to your server's files. Most Minecraft hosting panels show SFTP details on the server's settings page, and a VPS or home server works with a password or an SSH key.
Do I need to know YAML or how to code?
No. You describe what you want in plain words and Conny finds the right file and setting. It explains each change so you can check it without knowing the file format.
