If you are just starting out, begin with create a Minecraft server which walks through every decision in the order it comes up, and points to the detailed pages when needed. The others can be read separately, whenever the question arises.

GETTING STARTED

Create a Minecraft server

The complete guide: which edition, which engine, how much memory, how to invite your friends, and the settings that really matter on day one.

SIZING

How much RAM

A figure for each use case, and above all the three factors that actually fill up memory. The number of players is not the first one.

CHOOSING

Java or Bedrock

The two editions do not meet on their own. What sets them apart, device by device, and what it takes to get them playing together.

ENGINES

Versions and modpacks

Vanilla, Paper, Forge, Fabric, hybrids and proxies. What each family changes, and the difference between a plugin and a mod.

EXTENDING

Minecraft plugins

In what order to equip a server that is just starting, by need rather than by name, and what breaks a server when you install too many.

MOVING

Transfer your server

Take over an existing server without losing your world, your plugins or your players. The steps to follow, and the pitfalls that corrupt a world.

The vocabulary

TPS, MSPT, chunk, heap, RCON, whitelist, seed: the terms that come up everywhere, explained by what they change for you. The Minecraft server glossary can be read in any order, as the need arises.

How we work

These guides explain Minecraft in general. For what is specific to us, four pages say what we do and how: the panel which we write ourselves, our machines that we assemble ourselves, backups and DDoS protection.

For step-by-step operations in the panel, the tutorials take over.

The simplest thing is still to try it
