Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Answers to common questions about free Minecraft server hosting
Is the Minecraft server really free?
Yes! Our free plan is completely free and requires no payment. You can create and run 1 Minecraft server for free.
Which Minecraft versions are supported?
Mobland supports multiple recent Java Edition versions, always including the latest release. You can pick the version you want when creating your server.
Is Bedrock Edition supported?
Yes! You can pick Java or Bedrock Edition when creating your server.
How many players can play simultaneously on the server?
In the free plan, each server supports up to 4 players. For more players, you can upgrade to a paid plan.
Can I use datapacks?
Yes. You can enable curated datapacks like Graves, Fast Leaf Decay, Multiplayer Sleep, and Coordinates HUD from the dashboard, and you can also upload your own — 3 on the free plan, more on paid plans.
Can I install a modpack without setting it up myself?
Yes. Browse our curated Fabric modpack catalog and pick one when creating a server — Mobland builds it with all the mods, configs, and world settings already in place, no manual installation needed.
How long are backups kept?
Stopped worlds are archived automatically, and you can download the archive from the dashboard at any time.
Will my server be online 24/7?
Free servers use autostop after a short idle period to save resources. You can start your server again from the dashboard.
How do I invite my friends to the server?
Copy your server's IP address and port from the dashboard and give it to your friends. They can enter this address in Minecraft.
Can someone else help manage my server?
Yes. From the server's Sharing tab you can give another Mobland account start/stop and status access — handy for a co-owner who wants to start the server while you're offline.
Can I customize my server?
Yes! From the dashboard you can manage game settings, datapacks, curated plugins, and world options, rename your server anytime, and give a Java server its own icon — the name and icon show in your friends' multiplayer list. Paid plans also let you adjust view and simulation distance.
Can I use my own domain for the server?
Yes, on paid plans. Point a domain or subdomain you own (like mc.yourdomain.com) at your server by adding the DNS records shown in your dashboard, and you also get a static port that stays the same for as long as your plan is active — so the address your friends saved keeps working. On the free plan, the server's port can change between starts.
Can I try a paid plan for just one day?
Yes. When you buy or renew a subscription, you can pick 1 day instead of 30 for one-tenth of the monthly price — enough to try plugin and mod uploads or bring in your own world. When it ends, your account returns to the free plan: your worlds are kept, but paid features switch off and the free plan's limits apply again.
