Quickstart
From nothing to a connected server in a few minutes. This is the fast path — each step links to a page with the full detail.
1
Create your account
Sign up on wardenac.com with your email and a strong password. You'll get a verification email — click the link to activate your account. Accounts stay locked until the email is verified.
2
Pick a plan
After verifying, your dashboard shows a plan chooser. Pick the tier that fits how many servers you run and check out through Stripe. Your dashboard unlocks as soon as the payment goes through. See Billing & plans.
3
Copy your network key
Open Settings in the dashboard and copy your network key (it looks like
wrdn_live_…). One key covers your whole network — every server uses the same key.4
Install the plugin
Download the plugin, drop the
.jar into your server's plugins folder next to Grim, and start the server once so it generates its config. Full steps in Installing the plugin.5
Paste your key and restart
In
plugins/WardenAC/config.yml, set server-key to your network key, then restart the server. It connects to the backend and appears in your dashboard within seconds.6
You're live
Flags start streaming in as Grim detects them. Repeat steps 4–5 on each server in your network — they all share the same key and show up as separate servers you can switch between.
Multiple servers
Every server on your network uses the same key. The plugin gives each one its own identity automatically, so a Lobby and a Survival server show up separately even though they share a key.
Server limit
Each plan allows a set number of connected servers. If you try to connect more than your plan allows, the extra servers are refused with an upgrade message. Upgrade anytime from the billing portal.
