Game Hosting
Last updated: August 2026
gamehost.javer.pro runs Minecraft servers — Vanilla, Paper, Spigot, Fabric, Forge, and more — behind a DDoS-protected relay, with mod/plugin install and a browser-based console built in.
Creating a server
From your dashboard, create a server and choose:
- Server type — Vanilla, Paper, Spigot, Bukkit, Purpur, Fabric, or Forge. If you want plugins, choose Paper or Spigot. If you want mods, choose Fabric or Forge. Vanilla supports neither.
- Minecraft version — pick the version you and your players will use. The list only shows versions that exist for the server type you chose. Mods and plugins must match this version, so changing it later can break what you have installed.
- Name — this becomes your server's address, like
my-world.mc.javer.pro. Small letters, numbers and dashes only; spaces turn into dashes.
There is no plan to choose: Game Hosting is free during the beta, with 2.5 GB of memory per server.
Starting takes about a minute, and the very first start takes longer because the server makes its world. The server's status says Starting… until players can join, then Online. The console connects by itself as soon as the server is ready.
Connecting
Your server's address is shown at the top of its page, like my-world.mc.javer.pro. In Minecraft, choose Multiplayer → Add Server and paste it exactly as shown — no port needed.
If players cannot connect, check the status says Online, not Starting….
Sleeping: free servers go to sleep after 10 minutes with nobody online, to save room. They still show in your server list (as "Asleep"). Joining wakes it up, which takes about a minute. If Minecraft says "Timed out" on that first join, wait a moment and join again.
The console
Every server has a browser-based console. You can type any command you would normally run from the server terminal — list to see who is online, say hello to message everyone. To make someone an admin (an "OP", who can use every command), use the Players tab or type op theirname.
The console shows replies to commands you type. It does not stream the server's own log, and it will not open unless the server is running.
That means a crashed server cannot be diagnosed from the console. If your server stops on startup, contact support with the server name and we will read the startup output for you.
Mods and plugins
Mods and plugins are installed by searching Modrinth directly from the panel — no manual file uploads and no working out which download is the right one. Results are filtered automatically to your server's Minecraft version and loader, so anything you can see is compatible with what you are running. If you search for something that exists but has not been made for your Minecraft version yet, the panel says so. When the only build for your version is a test (beta) build, the panel tells you after installing it.
Installing puts the file in the right place for your server type — mods for Fabric and Forge, plugins for Paper, Spigot, and Bukkit — and restarts your server, because mods only load at startup. Expect a short interruption when you install something.
If a mod fails after installing, check the console. The usual causes are a missing dependency the mod needs, or a version mismatch.
Settings
Common settings are available without editing any files: difficulty, PvP on or off, whitelist, and the server message shown in the server list. Each one has a short explanation under it. Saving restarts the server so the new values take effect.
A whitelist is the simplest way to keep a server private — turn it on in Settings, then add the players you want in the Players tab.
Deleting a server asks you to type its name first, because the world is gone for good.
Backups and world data
Your world lives on the server and persists across restarts. Deleting a server deletes its world permanently. If a world matters to you, take your own copy before making significant changes such as switching Minecraft versions or removing mods.
Getting help
Click Need help? in the Game Hosting panel. It opens the support page, where the assistant can answer questions, and opens a ticket with a case number if it cannot solve something — a human then replies on that ticket. You can also email [email protected] with your server name and, if it is a crash, what you were doing when it happened. Service status is at javerstudios.com/status.
