Paper is the most widely used Minecraft server in the world: much faster than vanilla, compatible with Bukkit and Spigot plugins, and full of gameplay fixes. With Geyser and Floodgate, Bedrock players can join as well. If you are unsure, Paper is the right choice.
Best for survival, minigame and community servers running plugins — and for cross-play with phone and console.

Our recommendation: Paper-compatible Java with Geyser/Floodgate · Java players and Java plugins fit a Paper-compatible server.
✓ Recommended server type selected
Geyser and Floodgate are configured for this supported Paper/Bukkit stack. Bedrock players use an additional UDP port; consoles may need an additional connection method.
After creation you browse the plugin catalogue right inside the server panel (EssentialsX, WorldEdit, LuckPerms and many more) and install with a single click — no FTP, no manual JAR upload. You can edit the configuration files in the panel afterwards.
Set your server up at no cost first — plugins, world, configuration — then switch to the paid plan. Your world, plugins and address stay exactly as they are, nothing is reinstalled. The paid month only starts when you switch.
Server & Access
Shown as the description in the server browser. Leave empty for the default.
Only explicitly allowed players may join. Manage the whitelist in the server panel after ordering.
Allows Java players to join without a verified Microsoft / Minecraft account. You can change the mode in the server panel at any time.
The required login protection cannot be provided safely for Minecraft 1.21.11. Choose a version between 1.8 and 1.21.1 to order offline / cracked mode.
Rules
Allows combat between players.
World
Determines the generated world. Leave empty for a random world. Only takes effect on the very first world generation.
We pre-generate the world around spawn. This temporarily uses significant CPU, memory, and disk, so the server may respond more slowly. Run it before players first join and allow enough free disk space.
