This guide covers both installing the TIKTORY_Core plugin and retrieving your server’s API key to connect it with TIKTORY.

Part 1: Installing the TIKTORY Core Plugin

The TIKTORY Core plugin acts as the bridge between your Minecraft server and TIKTORY.

Steps

1. Stop your Minecraft server.
2. Download the core plugin file: TIKTORY_Core.jar
3. Move it into your server’s plugins folder:
   <your-server-folder>/plugins/
4. Start your Minecraft server again.

What Happens on First Startup

When the server starts with the plugin installed, it will:

• Create a new folder at:
  plugins/TIKTORY_Core/
• Generate a unique API key for your server
• Print that API key into your server console and logs

Part 2: Retrieving Your Server API Key

Now you need to retrieve the API key generated by the plugin.

Steps

1. Make sure your server is fully started.
2. Open your server console OR open this log file:
   logs/latest.log
3. Look for a line like:
   API Key: YOUR-API-KEY-HERE
4. Copy the full key exactly as shown.

Security Warning

Your API key allows external access to your server through TIKTORY.

Do NOT share this key publicly.
Do NOT upload it to GitHub or paste it into public Discord servers.
Treat it like a password.
