Live in three steps.
No SDK project, no data warehouse. Add the connector, set your key, and watch data arrive.
-
Create a server
Create your organization and add a server in the dashboard. Each server gets its own API key so identity and attribution stay correct.
-
Install the connector
Download the plugin from that server's Download page, drop the jar into your plugins folder, and restart. Paper servers supported.
-
Connect and verify
Set the key from the console and confirm collection. Heartbeats, metrics, and players appear in the dashboard within minutes.
# 1. Save your server API key
/shardanalytics setapikey <your-api-key> confirm
# 2. Confirm the connector is authenticated

Questions worth asking first.
Do I need to install a plugin?
For Minecraft, yes. A lightweight plugin for Paper servers sends sessions, events, and server telemetry. Store data arrives separately over a webhook, so you can connect revenue before touching the game.
Do I need a store connected?
No. Players, sessions, retention, and gameplay analytics work from the plugin alone. Revenue, packages, declines, and chargebacks appear once Tebex or a custom webhook is connected.
Can I try it without an account?
Yes. The live demo runs on generated sample data and covers the Command Center, Players, Payments, Dashboards, Alerts, Logs, and the Network Tracker. No signup required. Open the live demo →
Is it really free?

How long does setup take?
Usually a few minutes: create a server, install the connector, set the key, and confirm data. There is no SDK project or data warehouse to build first.
Who can see my data?
Access is scoped to your organization and controlled by roles. Owners and admins manage settings, members see the views you allow, and the audit log records configuration and membership changes.
