Without SurvivalServers
Running a Minecraft server yourself requires hosting, Java, server files, firewall access, and ongoing updates.
System Requirements

- Java matched to your Minecraft version; newer releases require newer Java runtimes
- Enough RAM for your player count, world size, plugins, and modpack load
- Disk space for server files, world saves, logs, backups, and plugin or mod data
- Router or firewall access to open the Minecraft server port, usually
25565
Server Setup
- Download the official Minecraft server JAR, or install a server type such as Paper, Forge, or Fabric
- Create a server folder and place the server files there
- Run the server once, accept the EULA, then edit
server.properties - Set your server name, max players, game mode, difficulty, whitelist, and world options
- Open or forward the server port so players can connect from outside your network
Launch Command
- Create a start script in your server folder and adjust the memory values for your plan:
- java -Xmx4G -Xms2G -jar server.jar nogui
- Replace
server.jarwith the actual JAR name for Vanilla, Paper, Forge, or Fabric - Restart after changing server type, Java version, plugins, mods, or launch parameters

Frequently Asked Questions about Minecraft Server Hosting
Order a Minecraft server, choose your slot count, location, billing cycle, and game type, then complete checkout. SurvivalServers provisions the server automatically so you can connect, configure settings, upload files, and invite players without building the host yourself.
Yes. The Minecraft order form and control panel support multiple server types including Vanilla, Paper, Forge, and Bedrock. Forge-intent order links can preselect the latest supported Forge build while still letting you choose another version before checkout.
RAM needs depend on player count, world size, plugins, and mods. Small vanilla or Paper servers can run on modest plans, while larger communities and heavy Forge or Fabric modpacks need more memory. Start with the slot plan that matches your expected player count and scale as your server grows.
