Free Minecraft server hosting for Java & Bedrock
Minehut is the largest free Minecraft server host — create a server in seconds, with no downloads and no credit card. It plays on both Java and Bedrock, so friends can join from PC, mobile, or tablet at a single address, with no playtime limits on any plan.
- Create in seconds. Sign up and your free server is online — no downloads, no port forwarding, and no required setup to get started.
- Java and Bedrock crossplay. Friends join the same world from PC, mobile, or tablet at mc.minehut.com (Java) or bedrock.minehut.com (Bedrock).
- Control it from the web dashboard. Upload plugin files and manage your server's files right in the browser — no local tools needed, and no config editing required to get started.
- No playtime limits, DDoS protected. Play as long as you want on every plan. Servers sleep when empty and wake the moment a player joins; upgrade to Ultimate to stay online 24/7.
- Invite friends instantly. Share your server address and play together — free, with no credit card required.
Free Minecraft server hosting — FAQ
Is Minehut really free? Are there any time limits?
Yes — Minehut is free to use, with no credit card required, and there are no playtime limits on any plan, so you can play as long as you want. To keep free hosting sustainable, servers automatically sleep when no one is online and wake the moment a player joins. The Ultimate plan stays online 24/7 and never sleeps.
How do I create a free Minecraft server on Minehut?
Create a free account and your server is online in seconds — no downloads or port forwarding required. Then share your server address with friends and start playing.
Can Java and Bedrock players join the same server?
Yes. Every Minehut server supports crossplay. Java players connect at mc.minehut.com and Bedrock players — on mobile, tablet, or Windows — connect at bedrock.minehut.com, all in the same world.
Do I need a credit card to start?
No. You can create and run a free Minecraft server on Minehut without a credit card. Paid plans and credits are optional upgrades.
How many players can join my free server?
The free Starter plan includes 10 player slots. Upgrading to a paid plan raises this to unlimited players.
How much RAM do I get, and can I upgrade?
Free Starter servers come with 1GB of RAM. You can upgrade any time for more — up to 14GB on the Ultimate plan — along with more player slots and features.
Can I install plugins?
Yes. Upload plugin files right from the web dashboard to customize your server. Higher plans allow more plugins.
Is my server online 24/7 — what happens when no one's playing?
To keep free hosting sustainable, servers sleep when they're empty and wake automatically the instant a player tries to join, so your world is always there. If you want your server online around the clock even when empty, the Ultimate plan runs 24/7.
Are Minehut servers DDoS protected?
Yes. Every server is protected by 24/7 DDoS mitigation to help keep it online and reliable.
Do I need to port-forward or edit config files?
No. Minehut handles the hosting — no port forwarding and no router setup, and you don't need to touch config files to get started. If you want to, you can edit your files anytime with the file manager in the web dashboard.
