Getting started
Bring your world
Already playing somewhere else? Upload your world, or a whole server folder, as a .zip and we put it in place, with a backup of your current world first.
More details
Stop the server first, then use World in the Settings tab. A .tar.gz works too, and it replaces the current world. You can download your world as a backup file any time.
How your friends join
Copy your server's address from the server page.
Players install the same Minecraft version, Forge build and mods as the server.
Open Multiplayer, choose Add Server, paste the address and join.
More details
Default port 25565/tcp. The address on the server page already has the right one.
Questions about Minecraft Forge servers
Why does Forge need 4 GB of memory?
Because Forge loads more at start than a plain server, and mods add to it.
More details
4 GB is the minimum; 6 GB or more is better for larger mod lists.
Which Forge version is installed?
The recommended Forge build for the Minecraft version you pick.
More details
That is 1.20.1 by default. You can set an exact Forge version in the settings.
How do I add mods?
Search for them by name in the Mods tab. They install with the mods they need.
More details
You can also list their Modrinth project names in the Mods setting, separated by commas. Mods that are only on CurseForge can't be installed yet.
Does it run Minecraft versions older than 1.17?
Not reliably. Very old Forge versions may not start.
More details
The server runs on Java 21, which the newer Forge versions need. Very old versions expect older Java.
Can I bring my world?
Yes. Bring your world: upload it as a .zip and we put it in place, with a backup of your current world first.
More details
Stop the server first, then use World in the Settings tab. A .tar.gz works too. It replaces the current world. A whole server folder from another host works too: we find the world inside it. You can download your world as a backup file from the server page any time.
Is my world backed up?
Yes, every day, and you can make one yourself whenever you want.
More details
Restore any backup from the server page. Backups don't use your server's disk.
