How to Host a Minecraft Server on Miget

Miget Team

Most Minecraft hosts charge per player slot and lock your world behind their panel. Running your own server on general-purpose compute is cheaper, gives you full control over mods and config, and your world files are yours. deployable.sh has a ready-to-deploy Minecraft stack, and Miget runs it on a fixed-price Resource with no per-slot tax.

What you get

  • Paper, Fabric, or Forge - pick the server type your mods and plugins need.
  • Your world, persisted - the world data lives on a volume that survives restarts and redeploys.
  • Full control - set the MOTD, difficulty, gamemode, view distance, whitelist, and memory yourself.
  • Flat pricing - you pay for the compute the server uses, not for how many friends join.

Deploy in three steps

  1. Pick the Minecraft stack at deployable.sh.
  2. Point Miget at it. Miget reads the compose file and sets up the server as a Compose Stack, with a persistent volume mounted for the world data.
  3. Configure and deploy. Accept the Minecraft EULA, choose your server type and version, set memory and gameplay options through environment variables, and deploy.

Exposing the server

Minecraft uses TCP port 25565. On Miget, add that port to the app and expose it publicly, then players connect to your server address on that port. Custom public ports run on a paid Resource, so a Minecraft server starts on a $5 per month plan rather than the free tier.

# In your Minecraft client, add a server:
your-server.eu-east-1.migetapp.com:25565

Your world is persistent

The world directory is mounted on a Miget volume, so stopping, restarting, or redeploying the server never wipes your map. Because the data is on a managed volume, you can grow disk as your world grows. When you want more headroom for a bigger map or more players, scale the Resource's RAM - there are no player-slot tiers to jump between.

Why Miget for a game server

  • No per-slot pricing - invite as many players as your RAM allows.
  • Predictable bill - a fixed-price Resource, from $5 per month, not usage-based surprises.
  • Real isolation - the server runs in its own microVM, not a shared box with other people's worlds.
  • Mods and plugins - Paper, Fabric, and Forge are all supported, so your modpack works.
