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.

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

In Minecraft Java Edition, open Multiplayer and choose Add Server.
Paste the address, save, and join. Everyone plays on the same Minecraft version as the server.

Default port 25565/tcp. The address on the server page already has the right one.
Questions about Minecraft Java servers
Can I add plugins?
Yes. Search for them in the Mods tab and they install with their dependencies.
More details
Paper and Purpur run Bukkit and Spigot plugins from Modrinth. You can also upload a plugin's .jar to the plugins folder in the Files tab.
Which Minecraft version does it run?
The latest release, or any version you pick, and you can change it later.
More details
Set it in the server's settings, for example 1.21.1.
Can I switch to mods or vanilla later?
Yes, it's one setting. Make a backup first.

Is my world backed up?
Yes, every day, and you can make one yourself whenever you want.
More details

Do players need a paid Minecraft account?
Yes, by default. Each player's account is checked, which keeps impostors out.

This is online mode. You can turn it off in the settings, which also turns off that protection.
