Good to know
Frequently asked questions.
Answers to the things server owners and creators usually want to know first.
MCast is designed to show a player's YouTube Live status in Minecraft, using an indicator beside their in-game name.
The intended flow is for players to link their channel with an in-game command; the exact verification steps depend on your plugin configuration.
The UI includes example admin commands for assigning or removing a player's linked channel. Match their syntax and permissions to the released build.
Compatibility can depend on your scoreboard, teams, and name-tag stack. Test MCast with your server's existing plugins before using it in production.
Any required API key or authorization details should be documented in the plugin's official setup guide. Keep credentials private and never publish them in your website source.
Use the official MCast download or release page. This starter site has a configurable download destination, so you can connect it to the correct release URL.
