ServerFlared
by GerGerApex1
ServerFlared sets up a Cloudflare Tunnel for a Minecraft server with little manual configuration, so the server can be reached without opening router ports.
What it does
Once installed, ServerFlared creates and manages a Cloudflare Tunnel by authenticating the server owner's Cloudflare account. The owner connects a domain name to Cloudflare, edits config.yml to set the tunnelName and hostName, then launches the server. After a relaunch with the updated configuration, the tunnel is established automatically.
The mod runs on the server only, so players join without installing anything. It is published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge, and for the Paper, Spigot, Bukkit and Purpur server platforms, with builds covering 1.8.8 – 26.2. Fabric API is required on Fabric. ServerFlared is open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later.
Key features
Automatic tunnel setup
The tunnel is created and maintained by the mod after a minimal configuration step, without manual tunnel commands.
Cloudflare account authentication
The server owner signs in with a Cloudflare account, and the mod uses that authorization to manage the tunnel.
Config file settings
The tunnelName and hostName values are set in config.yml, which controls the address players use to connect.
Restart-based updates
Configuration changes take effect after the server is relaunched, so the tunnel is rebuilt with the new settings.

Use cases
Hosting without open ports
A server owner whose network cannot forward ports can expose the server through a Cloudflare domain name instead.
Who it’s for: Server owners who already control a domain name and a Cloudflare account, and who want the tunnel configured by the mod rather than by hand.
How it compares
Cloudflared is a client-side tunnel option for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge that uses a custom license and is not open source. Integrade Cloudflared Tunnel mod is a Fabric-only client mod for 1.21.8, released under a Creative Commons non-commercial license, which is not open source. ServerFlared differs by running on the server alone, so players need nothing installed.
