Frequently Asked Questions

Last reviewed by Lily, April 2026
How do I set up a free Minecraft server?
Sign up with an email - no card. Pick the Minecraft version and the server software you want (Vanilla, Paper, Spigot, Forge, or Fabric), then click create. The IP shows up on the dashboard so you can hand it to your friends. Step-by-step screenshots are in the server setup guide.
Can I install plugins and mods on my free Minecraft server hosting plan?
Yes - the panel has a built-in installer that pulls from Modrinth and CurseForge. EssentialsX, WorldEdit, LuckPerms, Sodium, Create - all one click. Plugins need Paper, Spigot, or Purpur; mods need Forge, Fabric, or Quilt. Walkthrough plugin and mod installation guide.
How many players can join my free Minecraft server?
There's no slot cap. The realistic ceiling depends on what you're running - a vanilla survival server handles more concurrent players than a 100-mod modpack on the same box. If you're consistently hitting performance limits, premium plans give you more RAM and a stronger CPU slice.
Will my free Minecraft server experience lag?
Free servers run on the same Ryzen 9 7950X3D / EPYC 7502P boxes as paid ones, so a small SMP runs fine. Lag, when it happens, almost always traces back to the setup: a 50-mod pack, an unoptimized hopper farm, or running Vanilla when Paper would do the same job at higher TPS.
Which versions of Minecraft are supported on the free hosting plan?
Every Java Edition version from classic releases to current snapshots, plus Bedrock. Switch versions whenever - it's a dropdown in the panel. Software options: Vanilla, Paper, Spigot, Purpur, Forge, Fabric, Quilt, NeoForge.
Can I host modpacks like FTB or Technic?
Yes - one-click installs from 20,000+ modpacks on CurseForge, Modrinth, FTB, and Technic. Popular packs like All the Mods, RLCraft, Better Minecraft, and Create: Above and Beyond all run on free. The panel handles JVM args and version matching automatically.
Is free Minecraft server hosting really free?
It's free. No card, no trial, no time limit - one server per account. If you outgrow it, premium plans exist; if you don't, you keep playing for free.
Does my free Minecraft server stay online when no one is playing?
Free servers sleep after a stretch of inactivity to free up resources. Anyone with the IP can wake it up via the Start Server tool - no account, no password, just paste the address. Wake takes about 10 seconds.
How does free Minecraft hosting compare to paid plans?
Free covers most small SMPs: unlimited slots, DDoS protection, plugins, mods, and one-click modpack installs. Premium adds the things that matter once your server is busy: more RAM and CPU, more disk, automated backups, custom domains, and no sleep mode (free servers idle when nobody's connected; anyone can wake them via the Start Server tool, but premium just stays up).
