BoreHost

BoreHost is a plugin that exposes your Minecraft server through a Bore reverse tunnel.

It lets players connect to your server from the internet without manual router port forwarding.

What This Plugin Adds

  • Creates a reverse tunnel from your local Minecraft server port to a Bore server.
  • Assigns or reserves a public remote port (remote-port or random with 0).
  • Logs a public endpoint your players can join.

Why You Might Want It

  • Host quickly without opening router ports or setting up complex NAT rules.
  • Useful for temporary servers, testing, and small private sessions.
  • Minimal setup: install plugin, set host/port/secret, restart.

Information Before Downloading

  • Requires a reachable Bore server (server-host) that you control or trust. (you can use bore.pub)
  • This plugin is tunnel transport only; it is not an anti-DDoS or security plugin.
  • If Bore connection fails, the plugin disables itself until config/network is fixed.

Features

  • Reverse tunnel from a Bore server to your local Minecraft server
  • Supports dynamic remote ports (remote-port: 0)
  • Optional shared secret authentication
  • Folia support enabled
  • Lightweight setup with simple config

Installation

  1. Build or download BoreHost-<version>.jar.
  2. Place the jar in your server plugins/ folder.
  3. Start the server once to generate plugins/BoreHost/config.yml.
  4. Edit config values.
  5. Restart the server.
# Bore server host
server-host: "bore.pub"
# 0 = random remote port
remote-port: 0
# If secret is needed, set it here. Otherwise, leave it empty.
secret: ""

Config options

  • server-host: Bore server hostname or IP.
  • remote-port: Public port on the Bore server. Use 0 for a random available port.
  • secret: Optional tunnel secret. Leave empty if your Bore server does not require one.

Usage

After startup, BoreHost connects automatically and logs the public endpoint:

Public remote endpoint: <server-host>:<assigned-port>

Share that host and port with players.
