Minecraft Java guides
Everything you need to run a Minecraft Java server: settings, updates, and more.
Start here
Getting started
From creating the server to the first player joining, all in minutes.
Players: admins, the whitelist and bans
Make yourself an admin, keep your server to your friends with the whitelist, and kick or ban anyone, all from the Players page.
Settings: MOTD, difficulty and game mode
What every field in the Settings tab does, when you need a restart, and the instant changes in the Gameplay tab.
Plugins and mods: install them from the panel
Install plugins and mods from Modrinth, CurseForge and Hangar with their dependencies, update and turn them off, and upload your own files.
Features
Server type and version: what happens to your world
Move between Vanilla, Paper, Purpur, Fabric, Forge and NeoForge, or change your version, knowing what stays and what goes.
Crossplay: Bedrock players on your server
Turn on one switch and let friends on phone, console and Windows join your Java server.
Modpacks: a ready-made server in one click
Pick a modpack from the catalog and we install its mods and configs and set your server up for it.
Version compatibility: other Java versions on your server
Turn on one switch and let friends join on a Java version newer or older than your server.
Worlds: switch, upload and reset
Switch the active world, upload one from your computer, reset the Nether and the End, and delete what you don't need.
