We keep two servers open, one in Germany and one in Miami. Join from Java or Bedrock, on whatever version you run, and see how they perform before paying for anything.

If after the trial you decide it's not for you, you pay nothing. If you keep it, billing starts the next day at the regular price.

Bedrock or Java? Which server to pick

Differences between Java and Bedrock so you pick the right server.

233 views Updated 16 Sep 2026

The edition you play determines the server type.

Java Edition

  • The PC one (official Minecraft Java launcher).
  • Supports mods (Forge/Fabric) and plugins (Paper/Spigot).
  • The most flexible option for modpacks and plugins.

Bedrock Edition

  • The mobile, console and Windows 10/11 one.
  • Uses addons (.mcaddon) instead of Java mods.

Want them to play together (crossplay)?

You can run a Java server with Geyser/Floodgate so Bedrock players can join. If you want this setup, open a ticket and we'll help you get it ready.
