    Minecraft (Java Edition)

    Minecraft server hosting

    Your Minecraft server runs the Java Edition with Paper as the server software: fast, with plugin support, no mods needed on the players' side. Players per tier: Flex S up to 16, Flex M up to 24, Flex L up to 32 and Flex XL up to 48. New game versions are installed automatically, and the world is backed up daily and kept for 30 days. Cancellable monthly, no setup fee.

    Playable on the same server

    Notes on Minecraft

    Paper server software

    Paper is server software designed for speed that runs extensions in Spigot and Bukkit format. These extensions are stored on the server as .jar files. Players do not need to install anything for them.

    Expansions and mods are two different things

    Extensions run on the server alone. Mods for Forge or Fabric, by contrast, modify the game itself and must be installed in the same version by all players. Paper does not run Forge or Fabric mods.

    The right tier

    Players per tier: Flex S up to 16, Flex M up to 24, Flex L up to 32 and Flex XL up to 48. Extensions are available from Flex M. With many extensions or large worlds, the next tier is worthwhile. The tier can be changed at any time.

    Address and port

    Every server gets a fixed name following the pattern meinserver.games.glowfish.de. Custom name such as drachenhort.perfect-server.de and dedicated IP address: included with Flex XL, available as add-ons for the other tiers.

    Game version and your own world

    A new game version is installed as soon as nobody is logged in. You can bring an existing world and download the current one at any time.

    File manager and SFTP

    You manage the data folder of your server in the browser: uploading and downloading files, editing text files, creating folders, renaming and deleting. From Flex M also via SFTP with a password or key. Flex S: view and download.

    Operation

    Location

    Our own hardware in Germany, network connection and operation by us. Support in German and English.

    Backup

    Daily backup, kept for 30 days. Restore possible at any time.

    Term

    One-month term, then cancellable monthly with a notice period of one month.

    Frequently asked questions about Minecraft

    How long is the commitment?
    One month. After that, the server is cancellable monthly with a notice period of one month.
    What happens to my world when I cancel?
    We keep your last save for 90 days after the contract ends. If you order a Minecraft server again during this time, you transfer the save to the new server and continue playing.
    Can I play a different game later?
    Yes. You switch the game yourself in the customer portal, free of charge and as often as you like. Your Minecraft world is kept. If you switch back, the last state is restored.
    How quickly is my server ready to play?
    Usually within minutes. The server is set up automatically and you receive the access details by email.
    Are you running the Java Edition or Bedrock?
    We run the Java Edition with Paper as the server software. The Bedrock Edition for consoles, mobile phones and the Windows version of the game does not run on it.
    How many players are possible per tier?
    Flex S up to 16, Flex M up to 24, Flex L up to 32 and Flex XL up to 48 players.
    Can I use Forge or Fabric mods?
    No. The server software is Paper, which runs extensions in Spigot and Bukkit format. Forge or Fabric mods would require different server software.
    Which tier do I need?
    Flex S is sufficient for a small group without extensions. With extensions or a growing world, Flex M is appropriate, and for many players or large worlds, Flex L or XL. You can change the tier at any time.
    Can I bring my existing world?
    Yes. You can upload an existing world in the customer portal. You can download the current world at any time.
    Which port do my players have to enter?
    The address and port are listed with the connection details in the customer portal.
    Can I access the files on my server?
    Yes, via the file manager in the customer portal. From Flex M, you can upload files, edit text files, create folders, and rename and delete files. With Flex S, you can view the files and download them. Backups and configuration files managed by the customer portal are read-only.
    Is SFTP available?
    Yes, from Flex M. Every server has its own SFTP access with a password or SSH key, restricted to the data folder of the server.
    Can I set custom Java startup parameters?
    Yes. You enter custom system properties (-D), Java agents from the data folder and selected -XX flags in the customer portal.
