01 · Software

Run the software you want

Pick the software and the Minecraft version when you deploy.

Paper

The standard for survival and minigame servers. Fast, stable, and it runs Bukkit and Spigot plugins.

Fabric

A lightweight loader for modern mods, from performance patches to full packs.

Forge

The classic mod loader. Most large modpacks and long-running mods target Forge.

Modrinth modpacks

Deploy a full modpack straight from Modrinth. The pack picks the version and mods for you.

02 · Control panel

Manage it from the browser

The same panel you get in the app: console, files, and power controls in one place.

Live console

Watch logs in real time and run server commands without any extra tools.

File manager

Upload your world, edit server.properties, and manage plugins from the browser.

Pause and resume

When credits run out the server pauses with every block in place. Refuel and keep playing.

Your own address

Friends join at name.hostfree.games. No IP sharing and no port forwarding.

    Pick the size, the software, and the version. It is online in about a minute.

  3. Keep it online for free

    A running server uses credits each hour. You and your community can earn them for free, and your players do not even need an account to help. A stopped server costs nothing.

05 · FAQ

Minecraft hosting questions

How do I get a free Minecraft server?

Create an account and deploy a server; it takes about a minute. Hosting is ad supported: watching an ad or spinning the daily wheel earns the credits that keep your server online.

Can my community help keep the server online?

Yes, and they do not need an account. Anyone who plays on your server can earn credits for it. The more people who pitch in, the longer it stays online for free.

Is this Java or Bedrock?

Java Edition. You can run Paper, Fabric, or Forge, or deploy a Modrinth modpack.

Can I install mods and plugins?

Yes. Paper servers run plugins, Fabric and Forge run mods, and Modrinth modpacks deploy in one step.

Which Minecraft versions are supported?

You choose the version when you deploy. Current and recent versions are available for every loader.

Can my Minecraft server run 24/7?

It runs as long as it has fuel, day and night. When credits run out it pauses safely until you add more.

Can I upload my own world?

Yes. Upload your world through the file manager in the browser and keep playing where you left off.

How many players can join?

It depends on the size you pick. More RAM and CPU handles more players and more mods.
