Your server settings

Set the rules for your Minecraft world.

The Java profile includes server software, world generation and player access settings.

  1. Choose your server software

    Select Vanilla, Paper, Spigot, Fabric or Forge and specify the Minecraft version. Choose the software your plugins or mods need before inviting players.

  2. Create your world

    Set the world name, seed and world type. Choose Survival, Creative, Adventure or Spectator mode, then set difficulty and whether PvP is enabled.

  3. Decide who can join

    Add player names to the whitelist and grant operators by name. Configure spawn protection and keep online mode enabled to verify player accounts.

Once it is running

Look after the game server from NodePanel.

The game server’s page has its controls, its live usage and the address your players connect to.

Start, stop, restart and update
Each one is a single button. Updating the game or saving new settings restarts it, so pick a time when nobody is playing.
Live CPU and memory
See the game’s CPU use, its memory use against the limit you set, and its uptime. Use them to decide whether the game needs more memory.
Address, ports and files
The Connection card shows the address and ports your players use, and tells you if your hosting provider’s firewall is blocking them. The file manager opens the game’s files.

Try NodePanel

Try it on your own server for 7 days.

Connect your Linux server, pick a game and share the address with your players. You pay your hosting provider separately for the server.
