Getting started

Create an account at the console. You'll verify your email and land on your dashboard. A personal organization is created for you automatically.

From the dashboard, click New server:

  • Slug — a URL-safe name (e.g. survival), unique within your org.
  • Edition — Java or Bedrock.
  • Flavor & version — e.g. Paper 1.21.1. See supported flavors.
  • Plan — Small/Medium/Large (RAM, CPU, max players).

Your server provisions in under a minute and gets a hostname like survival.your-org.play.example.com.

Add the hostname in your Minecraft client and join. If the server has hibernated (no players for a while), the first connection wakes it within a few seconds — just reconnect if your client times out the first attempt.

Bedrock players: add the same host on UDP port 19132.

  • Console tab — live logs and RCON commands.
  • Files tab — browse and download your world.
  • Backups tab — scheduled and on-demand snapshots; one-click restore.
  • Plugins tab — add allowlisted plugins for your flavor.
  • Settings tab — rename, change the hibernate timeout.

Pick a paid plan on the Billing page to raise resource limits and player caps. Upgrades and downgrades are prorated.
