Server software

Vanilla server hosting

Vanilla is Minecraft exactly as Mojang ships it: no loader, no plugins, no mods. The purest way to play, managed so it stays online and backed up.

Start a server See plans
  • 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

A vanilla server is the game with nothing between you and it: the same jar Mojang publishes, updated on Mojang's schedule. For a lot of groups that purity is the point, and survival with friends needs nothing more.

Managed vanilla means the boring parts are ours: the server stays up, the world is backed up off-site on every plan, and the dashboard gives you players, files, and a live console without touching a command line.

Why run Vanilla here

  • The exact official server jar, always current or pinned to the version you pick.
  • The cheapest way to host: vanilla runs comfortably on the smallest plans.
  • Upgrade path built in: switch to Paper or a modded loader later, keeping your world.

Frequently asked questions

Can we move from vanilla to plugins or mods later?
Yes. Vanilla worlds are compatible with Paper, so switching to a plugin server keeps your world. Moving to a modded loader is also possible; take a backup and the old world stays restorable either way.
Which Minecraft version does a vanilla server run?
Your choice at creation: the current release or one of the maintained older versions in the create flow, pinned so an update never surprises your group.
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.
