Docs overview

Start here if you want the fastest path to a joinable server, a safe backup, a world upload, or a billing answer.

The product model

Your box

Your plan: RAM, storage, and region. It stays yours for as long as you play.

Game

The server software or pack loaded on your box. Each server keeps its own address. Change game from Plan and machine in Settings, whenever a game you want is ready.

Vault

Parking copies your world, mods, and settings into a saved version, pauses the server, and frees the machine. Wake it whenever you want to play again.

Common tasks

Current boundaries

  • Servers run Minecraft: Java Edition, or Minecraft: Bedrock Edition in beta. Bedrock Edition servers support no add-ons, behaviour packs or resource packs yet.
  • On a Java server, Bedrock crossplay (phone and Windows 10/11) is one click on Paper, Purpur, Fabric and NeoForge (Java 26.3); consoles are best-effort and other servers aren't covered.
  • Germany is live now. US servers are open for pre-order.
  • Curated CurseForge packs are installed and tested before they go on sale. Want one we do not list yet? Request it and we review and test it first.
