Minecraft Java server hosting

The edition with the biggest modding scene. Pick your server software, invite your friends, play.

Configure your server →View plans

Java Edition runs on Windows, macOS and Linux and is where plugins, mods and modpacks live. Your server can run plain vanilla or any of the popular server platforms — and you can switch later without losing your world.

What you get

Included in every plan: DDoS protection, NVMe storage and automatic backups.

Every major server platform

Paper, Purpur, Fabric, Forge, NeoForge or vanilla. The right software installs with one click.

Plugins and mods

Plugins for Paper and Purpur, mods for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge, and every modpack from CurseForge, Modrinth and FTB.

Room to grow

Start with 2 GB and upgrade memory later. Your world stays exactly where it is.

Console and mobile friends

Add Bedrock players with the crossplay preset — Geyser and Floodgate are installed for you.

Online in four steps

  1. Choose "Play with friends" or "Community server" in the configurator.

  2. Set the number of players — we recommend the memory.

  3. Pick a location close to your players and order.

  4. Share the server address. Your friends join from the multiplayer menu.

Java Edition questions

Which server software should I choose?

Vanilla if you want the game exactly as Mojang ships it. Paper or Purpur for plugins and better performance. Fabric, Forge or NeoForge if you want mods or a modpack.

Can I switch from vanilla to Paper later?

Yes. Paper loads vanilla worlds. Make a backup first, then change the server software — your world carries over.

Can Bedrock players join a Java server?

Yes, with Geyser and Floodgate. Choose the crossplay preset and both are installed for you.
