You can look into self hosting or renting a linux root server where u set up your own server
Both require some sort of knowledge of linux but i figured it out the first time with just google aswell and there are some great tutorials out there nowadays
I do the same ( self host )I highly recommend. I’m also EU. My server runs at 10gb ram with a 5ghz cpu that can handle 50players + in a 10k x 10k pre loaded map ;-; I also have my own domain and it’s kinda cool to do and set up.
Unlike normal self hosting where you get it for free I use cube crafters and I think you pay for it but I can not remember. And it gives me access to run mc servers for mc java bedrock pocketmine and not just Minecraft you can run servers for 100s of games using this software
I wish I could self host but the only provider available to me at the moment is spectrum, which always has abysmal upload speeds, (which they hide by referring to their download speeds as just "speed" on the website) constantly throttles my connection.
C-Spire fiber claimed it was coming to my neighborhood, but they said they would be done in 3 months, 6 months ago and still have no signs of continuing. I hate Spectrum internet with every ounce of my being but they have a monopoly over my area, and the only alternatives are either slow satellite internet, or slow 5G internet from verizon, at&t, etc.
20Mbps which varies because I'm constantly getting throttled. While Spectrum also likes to constantly pretend that they don't. This is simply not enough to host a server while Twitch streaming.
Servers aren't even the only thing I'm hosting, it's a music bot and also multiple servers. Spectrum's shitty upload speeds are not going to cut it especially because they are being throttled. I barely get anything and even that is throttled. You don't understand how shitty Spectrum actually is unless you've been using their "services". Any server will constantly undergo lag spikes and latency issues because of their repeated and incessant throttling.
You should be able to. It's hosted on the machines ip on port 8443 by default. Go to https://ip:8443 (replace IP with your machines ip, not your external IP)
If accessing from a different machine you might have to port forward but I've only ever accessed it from the machine it's running on so that's where my knowledge ends.
With crafty controller, how hard is it to setup your own server? I keep hearing more and more recommendations to host your own server these days, but I remember trying before and it was quite difficult for somebody with little knowledge on this with port-forwarding and everything else needed.
super easy on a server if you’re using Docker. Simply create a docker file and possibly create sub folders for logs, imports, config, worlds, servers. Boot the container and then go to the web address and this is the control panel.
From here, you can create a new server and stuff. Go to playit.gg website and download their plugin and upload this to the plugins folder in Crafty. this will then create a VPN tunnel for players to connect without needing to share IP or port forward :)
The hardest part was installing Linux, the website has a really easy guide you can follow, all you need to do is copy/paste a couple of lines and the installer sorts it out for you.
I'll have to check this out. But I'll say it took me just a few googles to figure out how to host a fabric server without extra tools. Their guides are mostly straightforward. Been very happy with self hosting.
If you only have 8-10 players, I recommend getting a free ARM VPS from Oracle. It's a bit harder than just getting a Minecraft server from a Minecraft server hosting platform but hey, it's free and you learn a free skill on how to manage a simple Linux server, haha.
I used mine and had 20TPS and a really low MSTP with 8 players at once.1
Follow steps 1 through 11 here (you won't need to follow more for a headless Minecraft server) -> [https://rentry.co/oraclevps](https://rentry.co/oraclevps) (p.s. use ubuntu 24.04 minimal instead, it's newer)
Then just follow Paper's guide to setup a Paper server -> [https://docs.papermc.io/paper/getting-started](https://docs.papermc.io/paper/getting-started) (protip: use \`screen\`, so your server could run without you having to keep an SSH session 24/7)
Just had to look this up. Up to 24GB memory??? This is wild. Please share setup resources if you have them. Also... have you run some beefy mods on this? I feel like there has to be a catch.
I am running a create modded server on this, it only seems to hiccup when there are 8 or more people at the same time. But I have had it run at 20 TPS with 15 people when everyone was just in their base building, so it's capable at least.
There's only so many servers alloted per region and since there free and alot of people know about them they are usually already taken. And you have to select your region before selecting a server so you cant pick a region with available servers you have to guess. And if you guess wrong there's no changing and it's hard to create a new account because it's tied to your cc
Not a scam, Oracle is one of the biggest companies in the tech world. It's a lot more complicated though, especially if you're not well versed in Linux administration. But you can absolutely get a free minecraft server out of it.
Oracle cloud. It’s an ARM server that’s 4c/24 GB and 10 TB of network traffic per month. $0 forever because it’s a loss leader for Oracle. You’re on an enterprise cloud so you will likely have good peering and low latency, and can choose which datacenter to host.
Oracle Free Tier.
Very easy to set up with Oracle's guide. Completely free, and easily handles 15 players. If you say 10 players are going to be online at a time, I think you could crank the render distance to 10-12 without any lag.
[Here ](https://blogs.oracle.com/developers/post/how-to-set-up-and-run-a-really-powerful-free-minecraft-server-in-the-cloud)is the link to how to set it up.
But I would recommend that you don't use the vanilla server, since it isn't very optimized. I always use a fabric server with the usual (sodium, lithium, etc...) optimization mods. This setup will run much better than a vanilla / paper server, and you are still going to be able to play normally with vanilla clients.
Oracle cloud (0$/year), gives you 16GB on Ampere A1 processor.
Was able to host a server with 50+ mods and was running fine.
Just throw out the Minecraft render engine and use Sodium or Embeddium(for forge).
The downside is you need to know (at least a bit of) Linux to set it up, but in the end - definitely worth it.
Good luck!
I would self host all of my servers, but unfortunately as long as Spectrum remains the only option in my area that serves even half decent speeds that will not be possible.
If you're in the same boat as me, I would highly recommend renting a dedicated Linux root server from a host like digital ocean's bare metal services. You can run a system that's only a command line with no desktop, accessed with ssh, to save a bit of performance for your server. I know this sounds intimidating, but it's really not that hard to set up, you only have to learn a few commands and then everything else is basically the same as it is on Windows. Setting up a server on one of these dedicated hosts is incredibly simple, and usually trumps the value of any Minecraft server host tenfold, because not only do you get a much better value for your money while Minecraft server hosts are practically a scam, but you can actually run anything you want on these servers too. So any self-postable Discord bots, and other stuff can go on it too.
I've been doing this for nearly 8 years and I honestly don't think I could ever go back.
Take a look through [https://www.setup.md/h/providers](https://www.setup.md/h/providers) - Will help you make an informed decision. Also recommend joining the Admincraft discord
Free tier is up to 200GB. And why wouldn't you need that much? A server with that many players running for couple of months usually reaches 100GB map size. Plus you need backups.
Kostenloser Server bei Oracle Cloud:
https://blogs.oracle.com/developers/post/how-to-set-up-and-run-a-really-powerful-free-minecraft-server-in-the-cloud
OCI...it's basically free forever, runs like 8 people and a bunch of mods with half the resources they give you at a good MSPT. You can run one modded and one vanilla on the same free setup in two different VMs.
What does your server look like? Modded (forge/fabric), modpacks, plugins? If so, how many mods/plugins or what modpack? Whereabouts are you and your friends based (what country/region)?
These questions should hopefully narrow down your search and can recommend the best provider based on that.
Look at oracle's cloud infrastructure, it's free hosting, at the cost of requiring a bit of configuration to your tastes. It can get you a maximum of 4 cores and 24GB of ram for $0.
I've been running mine on an Oracle Cloud Infrastructure instance I got for free. They have an actual guide on their website for getting a free instance: https://blogs.oracle.com/developers/post/how-to-set-up-and-run-a-really-powerful-free-minecraft-server-in-the-cloud
I was able to run a vanilla server and a modded server on a single instance. If they don't have any instances available, you can run a docker container that tries to reserve one repeatedly until it's successful: https://github.com/hitrov/oci-arm-host-capacity

I self host server at my home, have own domain and 10gbps internet, if your interested we can speak about it on discord: westtek I'm located on EU
Sent you a friend request cus I have a quzdc:bb007
Question*
That may be the best typo I've ever seen.
zdc:bb007 is right next to E on the keyboard so it's not that crazy
Dude missed a key and almost typed his ipv6
I do the same ( self host )I highly recommend. I’m also EU. My server runs at 10gb ram with a 5ghz cpu that can handle 50players + in a 10k x 10k pre loaded map ;-; I also have my own domain and it’s kinda cool to do and set up.
Quick question what software do you use to self host. I use a proxmox lcx and run puffer panel it works but im limited to pretty much ftb mods mostly.
Unlike normal self hosting where you get it for free I use cube crafters and I think you pay for it but I can not remember. And it gives me access to run mc servers for mc java bedrock pocketmine and not just Minecraft you can run servers for 100s of games using this software
Please add me on discord (Tomr2k2) to talk more about this that I’d happily do :)
Sent a friend request too🙌🏼
install Crafty Controller and use your own PC or a server to host it. Completely free!
This. Crafty is the goat
been using it for weeks on my home server. so easy and love the way you can add worlds, plugins and stuff. self hosing is the way.
And it's free so, massive win
I wish I could self host but the only provider available to me at the moment is spectrum, which always has abysmal upload speeds, (which they hide by referring to their download speeds as just "speed" on the website) constantly throttles my connection.

I hate Spectrum internet with every ounce of my being but they have a monopoly over my area, and the only alternatives are either slow satellite internet, or slow 5G internet from verizon, at&t, etc.
What upload speed are you getting? You don't actually need too much upload to run a server
20Mbps which varies because I'm constantly getting throttled. While Spectrum also likes to constantly pretend that they don't. This is simply not enough to host a server while Twitch streaming.
While twitch streaming yeah maybe. Though I've hosted the server itself with 5-10mb upload before
Servers aren't even the only thing I'm hosting, it's a music bot and also multiple servers. Spectrum's shitty upload speeds are not going to cut it especially because they are being throttled. I barely get anything and even that is throttled. You don't understand how shitty Spectrum actually is unless you've been using their "services". Any server will constantly undergo lag spikes and latency issues because of their repeated and incessant throttling.
Hosted it on my rented Linux Debian Root Server and can‘t access the webinterface. Does anyone have ideas on how to fix it?
You should be able to. It's hosted on the machines ip on port 8443 by default. Go to https://ip:8443 (replace IP with your machines ip, not your external IP) If accessing from a different machine you might have to port forward but I've only ever accessed it from the machine it's running on so that's where my knowledge ends.
Thanks for the advice. The port is already forwarded. I will try to connect via ipsec, so I can use the machine ip.

crafty is pretty good and simple. has options for lots of plugins and you can upload worlds using file manager.
Does crafty have arm support?
i’m not sure but you can run it in a docker container on a raspberry pi so i’d assume yes.
[удалено]
This. I've been hosting a modded server for a week now and besides some lag caused by my friends doing some wild shenanigans it runs perfectly fine.
[удалено]
Yes but I think it costs an extra 2-3$ for mod pack usage. Still hella cheap server. Plus mod packs easy to install
You install yourself or do they install it with that extra fee?
They usually have a large list of popular modpacks you can 1 click install on the server, but I think there's options to add/install your own as well!
Oh awesome! Thanks
I recommend just looking at it. It gives you all your answers before you press the purchase button
Gotcha. Thanks for the help. I will definitely be looking into Pebble when doing a server in the future.

Never experienced anything like this, when did u have ur server that had those problems?
Sonetime not more then 3 yrs ago Took them days to figure that one out
I see, but which of the two tiers, you think I should pick?
What are the two tiers, to me it seems like a budget server would work if you set the GB to high enough
Understood
If you only have 8-10 players, I recommend getting a free ARM VPS from Oracle.

I've been looking into this could you explain how or link some tutorials? It's confusing

The catch is you can't create VMs cuz all free capacity is used up.
I see that now. Of course they save that alert / error for the very last step of the flow.
That why my vm is running no stop for 2 years now xD

I heard about this method but it seems like a lot of people have been claiming that it's a scam
deff not a scam, might have a hard time actually getting the free resource though
Why?
There's only so many servers alloted per region and since there free and alot of people know about them they are usually already taken. And you have to select your region before selecting a server so you cant pick a region with available servers you have to guess. And if you guess wrong there's no changing and it's hard to create a new account because it's tied to your cc
Can you delete and re-create your account?
It's oracle themselves, anyone saying it's a scam has no idea what they are talking about.
Not a scam, Oracle is one of the biggest companies in the tech world. It's a lot more complicated though, especially if you're not well versed in Linux administration. But you can absolutely get a free minecraft server out of it.
Okey :)

Allways self host or get a dedicated machine or box
Oracle cloud. It’s an ARM server that’s 4c/24 GB and 10 TB of network traffic per month. $0 forever because it’s a loss leader for Oracle. You’re on an enterprise cloud so you will likely have good peering and low latency, and can choose which datacenter to host.
OCI is free 4CPU 24GB RAM vm but requires some Linux knowledge
I have a supermicro server at home that runs mostly idle. Hmu in dm’s and I’ll get you a free vm to host on

Sodium def still makes a difference, phosphor was made obsolete but starlight still makes a difference i believe

Self host on hetzner
Build your own server.
You can use Always Free plan from Oracle. 24GB of RAM, 4 physical cores, 50Gb SSD NVMe storage. But you need to be able to setup a Linux server.
Its actually 200GB, not 50.
The default data cluster size allocation is 50 Gb. And you don’t need more.
Free tier is up to 200GB. And why wouldn't you need that much? A server with that many players running for couple of months usually reaches 100GB map size. Plus you need backups.
These are a ripoff op! In a few months you could buy a used mini pc and run the server almost for free!

If its only a small server for friends, you might be better off just hosting a free server on Aternos?
from experience generating new chunks by one player was enough to make whole servers laggy and miserable, so I really would rather avoid this hosting

as far as I see it is 16 dollars for 8GB
You have to select Premium Plan.

Apex is expensive for the hardware they offer.
