Server software

Paper server hosting

Paper is the plugin server: fast, battle-tested, and the standard for survival worlds with commands, protections, and minigames. Your friends join with the normal Minecraft client, no mods needed.

  • 88 modpacks ready to launch
  • Every pack booted on our hardware before it went on sale
  • 5.00 GHz floor on Heavy
  • NVMe on every plan
  • Off-site backups

Paper takes the vanilla server and rebuilds its internals for performance, then adds the plugin API most of the Minecraft ecosystem is written against. Land claims, economies, homes and warps, permissions: if a server feature became famous, it is probably a Paper plugin.

Because plugins live only on the server, a Paper server is the easiest kind to invite people to: everyone joins with the stock client. We run your Paper server managed, with one-click plugin installs from the dashboard, off-site backups, and a live console when you want to look under the hood.

Why run Paper here

  • Friends join with the unmodified client: nothing to install on their side.
  • Add plugins from the dashboard in a click; we handle the server side.
  • Noticeably better performance than a plain vanilla jar on the same hardware.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between Paper and vanilla?
Paper runs the same game but rewrites the server internals for speed and adds plugin support. Worlds are compatible, and players cannot tell the difference except that the server runs smoother.
Do players need to install plugins to join a Paper server?
No. Plugins are server-side only. Everyone joins with the normal Minecraft client, which is exactly why plugin servers are the default for public worlds.
Can we switch to a different pack later?
Yes. Your dashboard can switch the server to another pack or server type. Take a backup first and the old world stays restorable.
Are backups included?
Yes. Off-site cloud backups are included on every plan, on a configurable hourly to weekly cadence, and your backup space matches your server space.
