## Choose an Installation Guide
* [**At a Hosting Provider**](/b.-setups/servers/murder-mystery-server/set-up-your-server-at-a-hosting-provider.md)**:** the server runs on a hosting company's machine and is managed through a browser panel. Choose this for a server that should stay available without your PC.
* [**On Your Computer**](/b.-setups/servers/murder-mystery-server/set-up-your-server-on-your-computer.md)**:** the server runs on your own Windows PC. Choose this for local testing, editing or playing with friends while the computer is on.
Both guides install the same setup. Follow the one that matches where the server will run.

## Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What does this server setup provide?
This setup provides a **standalone Minecraft server** that can be used on its own or connected to your **existing network** via **BungeeCord/Velocity**. It includes a **fully configured minigame**, optimized settings, and easy customization options.
What version does the server run on?
Check [Server Versions](/b.-setups/information/server-versions.md) for the server's Minecraft version, required Java version, and supported and tested client versions. These are separate requirements: a supported client version does not change the version of Paper that runs the setup.
Can the server be connected through BungeeCord or Velocity?
The server can be used as a backend in a BungeeCord or Velocity network. Configure the proxy, player forwarding and backend access together. Simply changing `online-mode` is not a complete network configuration. Follow the proxy's installation and security documentation.
Can the messages be translated?
The setup's configurable messages can be edited in the relevant plugin folders. Back up the files before editing and keep YAML indentation and placeholders intact.
Is this a complete server or a single plugin?
This is a complete server setup. Install the supplied Paper JAR, plugin JARs, configuration folders, maps and other files together. Copying only the `plugins` folder into another server can leave required worlds or settings behind. Use a separate server instance rather than merging it into a live server without a migration plan.
Which extra plugin downloads are needed?
The installation guide lists **TAB** for this setup. The Windows `start.bat` is configured to download this plugin; on hosting, use the exact links in [Download Dependencies](/b.-setups/servers/murder-mystery-server/set-up-your-server-at-a-hosting-provider.md). The plugin JAR supplies the code and its folder supplies the configuration. Keep the existing configuration folders.
How much RAM does the server need?
Check the resource page and the README for the release being installed. Memory needs depend on active players, maps, worlds and any additional plugins; there is no single player count that every machine can handle. Leave room outside Java's heap for the rest of the process and the operating system. For crashes or lag, follow [Common Issues](/b.-setups/information/common-issues.md) before increasing the allocation.
How can a bug or setup problem be reported?
Check [Common Issues](/b.-setups/information/common-issues.md) first. If the problem remains, [send a private message on BuiltByBit](https://builtbybit.com/conversations/add?to=BingBrowser) with the setup name and release, server and Java versions, what triggers the problem, and the full related log. Remove passwords and tokens before sharing files.
