# Game Servers

Integrating Tebex with your game server is quick and flexible. Whether you're a creator running a single server or a studio managing multiple deployments, this guide will walk you through the best integration options available, so your customers receive their purchases seamlessly.

***

### Getting Started

Tebex supports several connection methods depending on your game and infrastructure setup:

### Integration Methods

| Integration Method | Plugin Required | Offline Player Support | Skill Level     | Recommended For        |
| ------------------ | --------------- | ---------------------- | --------------- | ---------------------- |
| **Tebex Plugin**   | ✅ Yes           | ✅ Yes                  | 🟢 Beginner     | Most users             |
| **MySQL**          | ❌ No            | ⚠️ Limited             | 🔴 Advanced     | Experienced developers |
| **RCON**           | ❌ No            | ❌ No                   | 🟡 Intermediate | Lightweight setups     |

#### Tebex Plugin (Recommended)

Use our official Tebex plugins to connect your game server. These plugins poll for new purchase commands every minute, ensuring players receive their items promptly—even when offline.

#### MySQL Integration

Link your MySQL database directly to Tebex. This method gives you more control, but requires existing knowledge of MySQL.

> ⚠️ **Note:** Tebex does not provide support for configuring MySQL on your server.

#### RCON (Remote Console)

RCON lets Tebex send commands to your server without installing a plugin. This can work well for lightweight setups but **does not support** features like executing commands for offline players.

### Global Game Server Commands

Need to trigger a command for **every transaction** on your store? Use **Global Game Server Commands**.

These commands run across all servers connected to your Tebex account and can be triggered by:

* Any purchase
* Subscription renewals
* Refunds
* Chargebacks

> 📝 **Tip:** Use Global Commands for server-wide events like XP boosts or seasonal announcements.\
> For commands specific to individual purchases, use **Package-Level Commands** instead.
