What Are Clash of Clans Server Files?
In a standard Clash of Clans setup, your phone (the client) talks exclusively to Supercell’s official servers. These servers validate every action: spending gold, training troops, attacking bases. You cannot cheat because the server decides what is possible.
🚀 Quick Start Guide:
- Requirements: MySQL (5.7+), Node.js 14.x (or Java 11), and a modded Clash client.
- Database: Import
database/clash_db.sqlinto your MySQL server. - Configure: Edit
config/server.jsonto match your local IP (e.g.,192.168.1.100) and database credentials. - Run Server: Execute
start.shorrun.bat. - Patch Client: Install the provided
.apk(Android) or modify your hosts file (iOS/PC emulator) to pointgame.clashofclans.comto your server IP. - Connect: Launch the modded client. Create an account (any email/password works).
