Where to start
Choose Vanilla, plugins or a modpack.
Match the server software to your world and its plugins or mods. Each package includes one platform.
Paper and Spigot plugins
Paper and Spigot support plugins on a Java world. Choose plugins for your Minecraft version and install their dependencies. A setup using loader-specific mods needs Forge or Fabric instead.
Forge and Fabric mods
Use the loader required by your mods. Keep the Minecraft version, loader and dependencies aligned between the server and players who need the same mods.
CurseForge and FTB packs
Use server files for the exact modpack release you choose. Hosting options cover CurseForge, FTB, Hexxit and Tekkit. Before transferring an existing world, check the pack's server requirements.
Keep an existing world's Minecraft version, loader and pack release together when moving. Save a backup before trying a new server build.

VxShield included
Attack traffic passes through upstream DDoS protection. The plan bills per server without an added player-slot fee.
VxShield
DDoS protection for your Minecraft server.
Your hosting plan includes VxShield. It filters attack traffic upstream and passes accepted player traffic to the game server.

Your Minecraft setup
Prepare the world your players will join.
Import your world and prepare its server platform with VXPanel's game-file access. Keep the Minecraft version and required plugins or mods together.
- Before moving the world or changing software, save a copy and record its Minecraft version, loader and modpack release.
- Upload world and server files with matching versions. Paper plugins need compatible JARs in the plugins folder. For mods, use the chosen loader's installation instructions.
- Join the world after starting the server. If a Paper plugin does not load, check its status and read logs/latest.log.
Before you order
Minecraft hosting questions.
Is this Minecraft Java or Bedrock hosting?
This page lists server software for Minecraft Java Edition. Before choosing a package for Bedrock players or Java/Bedrock crossplay, confirm the intended setup with VYKIX.
Can I run Paper, Forge and Fabric in the same package?
Each package runs one server platform, chosen from Paper, Vanilla, Spigot, Forge, Fabric, CurseForge, Bungeecord, FTB modpacks, Hexxit, Tekkit. Paper and Spigot run plugins. Forge and Fabric require mods matched to the loader and Minecraft version.
How many players can my Minecraft server handle?
World complexity, view and simulation distances, mods and active players determine resource use. DDR5 memory and NVMe storage are subject to the plan's fair-use limits, with no added player-slot fee. Share your modpack and expected peak players for setup advice, then test with your group.
Can I bring an existing world or modpack?
Yes. Back up the world, then upload it through game-file access with server files that match its Minecraft, loader and modpack versions. For transfer help, send the pack version and data size so we can plan the move with you.
What should I check if a Paper plugin will not load?
Confirm that the JAR supports your Minecraft version and is in the plugins folder. Check logs/latest.log for loading errors or missing dependencies. Forge and Fabric mods need their respective loader and cannot run as Paper plugins.
Are world backups included?
Three same-server backup slots are included. Save a recovery copy before changing the world or software and download another copy outside the server. Keep current files before restoring, because a restore can overwrite newer progress.
Do I need to manage the host operating system?
Host operating-system and hardware maintenance are handled by VYKIX. You manage game files, the server platform and its settings. Choose Game VPS for root access to install your own software.
How much does Minecraft hosting cost?
Managed Minecraft hosting starts from €19.99/mo excl. VAT. One server platform is included per package, without an added player-slot fee. Your order total, including applicable taxes and fees, is shown before payment.
Does VYKIX offer free Minecraft server hosting?
Minecraft requires a paid VYKIX plan; there is no free Minecraft trial. Running a server on your own PC avoids a provider bill, but you supply the hardware, power, connection and maintenance.
Can I choose a Minecraft server in the UK, Europe or the US?
Check the Minecraft order form for its current location choices. Select a listed location close to your players and compare connection tests before ordering. We do not advertise a UK Minecraft location on this page.
