Getting Started With Your Minecraft Server

Get your friends playing in about 5 minutes. This applies to all our Java server types: Paper, Fabric, Forge, and NeoForge.

1. Start it

Open the Console tab and click Start. Wait for Done! in the log. The first start takes a minute or two while the world generates.

2. Get your address

Your address (like us-central-01.hxshost.com:25565) is on the Console page and your dashboard. In Minecraft, your friends go to Multiplayer → Add Server and paste it in.

3. Make yourself an admin (op)

Join your server once, then open the Console tab and type op YourName. That gives you in-game operator powers. (The Players tab is for seeing who's online and kicking or banning.)

Where everything lives

  • Console and Players tabs at the top.
  • Configuration menu: Mods (plugins and mods), Server Settings (world options), Startup.
  • Utilities menu: Backups and Schedules.
Server type matters for add-ons: Paper uses plugins; Fabric, Forge, and NeoForge use mods. They are not interchangeable.

Friend can't connect? Check they used the full address including the port, and that the server shows Running.
