How to Create a Minecraft Server
With SurvivalServers
Create a Minecraft server in a few clicks.
- Click Order Now above
- Enter a username, password, and email address or sign up with Google/Twitch
- Select your slot amount, billing cycle, server location, and game type
- Choose Vanilla, Paper, Forge, Bedrock, or another supported Minecraft version

Without SurvivalServers
Running a Minecraft server yourself requires hosting, Java, server files, firewall access, and ongoing updates.
System Requirements
- A Windows or Linux host with reliable upload bandwidth and a stable public connection
- 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. Pick Vanilla, Paper, Forge, NeoForge, Fabric or Bedrock on the order form, and switch any time from the panel. Installing a modpack from the panel sets the right loader and version for you, and the panel's World tab converts a world between Java and Bedrock.
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.
Yes. Upload a world of up to 2 GB in your control panel or by FTP, and your own mod or plugin .jar files with the File Manager. The panel also installs modpacks, mods and plugins for you. Every modpack install backs up your server first, and one click puts it back.
Yes, with crossplay, free on every plan. Switch it on in your control panel, and Bedrock players on phones, tablets and Windows join with the same address. It works on Paper 1.20.5 and newer, and on Fabric and NeoForge on the newest Minecraft version crossplay supports.
Minecraft benefits heavily from strong single-thread CPU performance. SurvivalServers uses optimized Intel/AMD server nodes with NVMe storage to keep world loading, chunk generation, plugins, and modded gameplay responsive.
