Rent a tModLoader Server

Pure vanilla play is comfortable on 1 GB. Once several content mods run together, plan for 2-4 GB — demand climbs with the number and size of the mods.

Either through the built-in mod browser or by dropping .tmod files from CurseForge straight into the mods folder. The key requirement: server and every client need the exact same mod set, or joining fails.

Eight by default, adjustable via the MAX_PLAYERS variable at launch. For a bigger group, budget more RAM to match.

Small, Medium, or Large are all on offer. Small or Medium is plenty to start with — large worlds eat more storage and load slower. You pick this when the world is first created.

Your server is up and running within a few minutes. Set world size, password, and player count from the control panel; getting mods running just means dropping the files into the Mods folder through the file manager and flipping them on in enabled.json.

Yes — Calamity, Thorium, Spirit, and plenty of other large content mods are compatible with tModLoader. Calamity on its own runs fine with around 2 GB RAM; paired with Thorium, budget 3-4 GB. Important: every mod update needs to land on the server and all clients at the same time.

Every mcfreehost server ships with its own address such as yourserver.mc.mcfreehost.com right from the start. Rename it anytime from the dashboard — no ticket required.

Monitoring and database add-ons — Uptime Kuma, MariaDB, phpMyAdmin, Game Server Watcher — never carry a surcharge. For music and chat bots, the first slot you activate is included; every additional bot is billed on top, and the dashboard shows the exact cost before you switch it on.

Typical initial setup: about 3 minutes. Queues or large installations can take longer. Larger Steam installs can take a bit longer depending on the game.

No — you are on a subscription that renews monthly, and you can cancel it from the dashboard whenever you like; the same goes for turning off automatic renewal.

You choose the location at checkout: Germany (Falkenstein and Limburg) or France (Roubaix) — all in the EU, connected to the major European exchanges. Low pings for players across Germany, Austria and Switzerland at both locations, and solid latency for the rest of Europe.

The best provider is the one that shows you what you get before you pay: RAM, slots, location, price and cancellation terms. Here the price and resources are visible in the configurator before checkout, there is no minimum term and setup is automated — feel free to compare that with other offers. tModLoader starts here at 2.69 EUR per month, and setup typically takes about 3 minutes.

Self-hosting costs power, time and a machine that runs around the clock; port forwarding, updates and backups are on you. A rented server is online within minutes, keeps running when your PC is off, and updates and backups are included; data-center DDoS protection is included at every location. For one or two friends on a single evening self-hosting is often fine — for a persistent world, renting pays off.

Yes, you can do it yourself in the customer area using a slider. An upgrade takes effect immediately: you only pay the prorated difference for the remaining term, and the new price applies from the next renewal. A downgrade takes effect on the next renewal date. Your world, settings and subdomain are kept, and depending on the game, a restart is required afterwards. With monthly payment and a minimum term, the change is only possible once that term has ended, and for games with a slot-based plan it is not available.
