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, region, and address. It stays yours for as long as you play.

Game

The server software or pack loaded on your box. Switch games right from the Overview, whenever a game you want is ready.

Vault

Parking saves a complete snapshot of your world, mods, and settings, pauses the server, and frees the hardware. Wake it whenever you want to play again.

Common tasks

Current boundaries

  • Servers run Minecraft: Java Edition. Bedrock crossplay (phone and Windows 10/11) is one click on Paper and Purpur servers; consoles are best-effort and modded 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.
