Game Servers

Everything you need to manage a game server after it’s running.

Use the Servers page to see your game servers. Open a server to access controls, logs, files, backups, and mods where available.

Supported games

Game	Runtimes
Minecraft	Vanilla, Paper, Fabric, Forge, NeoForge, Bedrock

The games and runtimes visible in the Portal are the supported options for your account.

Console overview

The server console is your main management interface. It may include:

• Terminal — live server log output and a command input for running server commands
• Live Metrics — resource and activity information
• Files tab — browse and manage server files directly
• Backups tab — take snapshots and manage restore points
• Server Notes — a scratchpad for notes about the server

Server controls

From the console header you may have these controls:

• Open — opens the related workspace or IDE when available
• Start — starts a stopped server
• Restart — restarts a running server. Use this after config or mod changes.
• Stop — gracefully stops the server

Warn players before restarting

A restart disconnects all active players. For community servers, use a server command to warn players first, such as /say Server restarting in 2 minutes.

RAM and performance

Available resources depend on your plan. Check the Portal billing page for your current plan and limits.

Modded Minecraft RAM guidance

Modded servers usually need more memory than vanilla servers. If a modded server will not start, check the console logs and consider reducing mods or moving to a larger plan if one is available.

Getting help

If your server is not behaving as expected, check Service Status first. If the issue continues, open a ticket with the server name and visible error text.
