Extra ports for Dynmap, voice chat, query and more

When you need another port, how to add one, and how to tell the plugin or mod to use it.

Your server has one primary port. Anything else that listens on the network needs its own:

  • Geyser (Bedrock crossplay): UDP
  • Simple Voice Chat, Plasmo Voice: UDP
  • Dynmap, BlueMap, Squaremap: web map, TCP
  • Query (enable-query in server.properties) or RCON: TCP
  • A second game or a bot's web dashboard on the same server

Add a port

Dashboard → My Servers → Modify → raise the ports slider by one → confirm (a few cents per port). The new port appears in the panel's Network tab within a minute. Ports are both TCP and UDP.

Tell the software

Edit the plugin/mod config and put the new port number in: Geyser's config.yml, Simple Voice Chat's voicechat-server.properties (port=), Dynmap's configuration.txt (webserver-port). Restart. Players use node1.penguhost.com:<that port> (voice chat picks it up automatically when it matches the game port; otherwise set it in the mod).

Bind address

Some tools default to binding 127.0.0.1 or a specific interface. Use 0.0.0.0 so the tool listens on all interfaces inside the container.
