How to buy extra port allocations for a server
Every Schokr server gets 1 port. Buy extra port allocations for 25 credits each for voice chat, query ports, Geyser or web dashboards.

Each Schokr server starts with 1 port allocation. If you need more ports, you can buy extra allocations for 25 credits each. Schokr One members get unlimited port allocations.
When you need an extra port
One port is enough for most servers. You will need more if you run something that listens on a second port, for example:
- A Minecraft voice chat plugin that uses its own UDP port
- Geyser on a separate port so Bedrock players can join a Java server
- A query or RCON port for a game server
- A web dashboard, map viewer or API next to your bot or app
Price
| Option | Cost |
|---|---|
| First port allocation | Included |
| Each extra allocation | 25 credits (about $0.03) |
| With Schokr One | Unlimited, no credit cost |
Steps
- Make sure your team has at least 25 credits and your Discord account is linked.
- Sign in to the Schokr console and open the server that needs the port.
- Go to the Network section.
- Add a new allocation and confirm the purchase.
- Note the new port number. Configure your plugin or app to listen on that exact port.
- Restart the server.
Configuring the new port
Schokr assigns the port number, so set your software to use that port rather than picking your own. For example, Simple Voice Chat uses a port value in its server config, and Geyser uses bedrock.port in its config.yml:
bedrock:
port: 19133
Replace 19133 with the port Schokr gave you. Players then connect with your server's address and that port.
Things to know
- Allocations are per server. An extra port on one server cannot be used by another.
- Extra ports are cheap, so most people just buy the few they need. Schokr One removes the limit entirely if you are a member anyway. See unlimited snapshots and allocations.
Still stuck?
If the port shows in the Network section but nothing can connect, check the software is listening on that exact port and restart. Then ask on the Schokr Discord.
