Free Minecraft server hosting with plugins
Paper, Purpur or Spigot, with thousands of plugins one click away. Free to start, no card.
Plugins in one click
Open Plugins & mods in your panel and search. The catalog comes from Modrinth, filtered to what runs on your server's software and version, with add-ons we've tested marked as verified. Click Install, restart, done.
Got a plugin from somewhere else? Upload the .jar into the plugins folder from the file manager or over SFTP.
The server software you want
- Paper, the default: fast, stable, runs Bukkit and Spigot plugins
- Purpur, Pufferfish, Folia and other Paper forks
- Spigot and Sponge
- Velocity, BungeeCord and Waterfall proxies for networks
- Any Java version, switchable later in Settings
Popular plugins people install
EssentialsX for homes, warps and /spawn. LuckPerms for ranks and permissions. WorldEdit and WorldGuard for building and protecting areas. GriefPrevention for land claims. Dynmap or BlueMap for a live web map. Geyser comes already set up on Bedrock servers.
Not sure which you need? Ask Hopper, the frog in the panel: it searches the catalog and installs what you approve.
Room to grow
The free plan has 2 GB of memory and no limit on player slots, enough for a group of friends with a handful of plugins. A public server with a crowd every evening wants more: paid plans go up to 8 GB, never sleep and back up on their own. Same world, same address.
Questions
Can I install plugins on the free plan?
Yes. Every plan, free included, can install plugins from the catalog or upload its own.
Where do plugins come from?
The catalog is Modrinth, filtered to your server's software and version. You can also upload any .jar into the plugins folder.
Do players need to install anything?
No. Plugins run only on the server; players join with a normal Minecraft client.
Can I edit a plugin's config?
Yes. Its files appear in plugins/<name>/ after the first start, and you can edit them in the browser or over SFTP.
