Question 1

Do you limit how many players can join?

Accepted Answer

No. We don't sell player slots and we never cap your server. New servers start with a max-player value sized to your plan, and you can change it any time from the dashboard. The player count shown on each plan is a guide to what its CPU and RAM handle comfortably — with Minecraft, RAM and your mod or plugin list matter far more than the slot number.

Question 2

Do you support both Java and Bedrock editions?

Accepted Answer

Yes. FluxCraft hosts both Minecraft Java Edition (for PC players) and Bedrock Edition (for mobile, console, and Windows 10/11 players). You pick the edition when you deploy, and each runs the correct server software and default port (25565 for Java, 19132 for Bedrock).

Question 3

Can Java and Bedrock players join the same server?

Accepted Answer

Yes, with a crossplay proxy. Install a plugin like Geyser (plus Floodgate) on a Paper or Spigot Java server and Bedrock players on phones, consoles, and tablets can connect to your Java world without a Java account. It is the most popular way to run one server for every device.

Question 4

How much RAM do I need for my Minecraft server?

Accepted Answer

As a rule of thumb on Java: 2 GB runs vanilla comfortably for ~4 players, 4 GB handles small plugin servers or ~8, 8 GB suits light modpacks or ~12, 16 GB around ~20, and heavy modpacks like RLCraft or All the Mods want 8–16 GB or more. Bedrock is roughly twice as efficient per GB, so the same plans hold about double. RAM, not player slots, is usually the limiting factor. See our server requirements guide for a full RAM-to-players table.

Question 5

How many players can my Minecraft server hold?

Accepted Answer

There is no hard cap — the practical limit depends on RAM, CPU, plugins/mods, view distance, and world complexity. The figure on each plan is what it runs comfortably: on Java, ~4 players at 2 GB, ~8 at 4 GB, ~12 at 8 GB, ~20 at 16 GB, and ~50 at 48 GB. Bedrock is lighter per player, so those same plans hold roughly double. Your server's max-player setting is set to twice the comfortable figure, and you can raise it whenever you like. Modded servers hold far fewer per GB than vanilla.

Question 6

Can I install mods and plugins (Forge, Fabric, Paper, Spigot)?

Accepted Answer

Yes. FluxCraft gives you full file access, so you can run Paper, Spigot, or Bukkit for plugins, or Forge and Fabric for mods. Upload plugin .jar files to the plugins folder, or mods to the mods folder, then restart the server from the control panel.

Question 7

Can I run modpacks like RLCraft or All the Mods?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You can install CurseForge or Modrinth modpacks such as RLCraft, All the Mods, Better MC, or Create-based packs. Larger packs need more RAM — we recommend at least 6–8 GB for most and 10–12 GB for the heaviest. Our modded server guide walks through the full process.

Question 8

Can I upload an existing world or migrate from Aternos or another host?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Upload your existing world folder (and plugins/mods) through the file manager, or drop in a full server backup. Migrating from Aternos, Apex, Shockbyte, or a self-hosted PC is straightforward — nothing about your world is locked to us.

Question 9

Is the server online 24/7, unlike free hosts that sleep?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Your FluxCraft server stays online 24/7 with a 99.9% uptime target. Unlike free hosts such as Aternos that shut the server down when no one is playing and queue you to restart it, your world is always reachable at its own address.

Question 10

Which Minecraft versions are supported?

Accepted Answer

All modern Java and Bedrock versions are supported, and you can pick or change the version yourself. That includes current releases like 1.21.x, older versions many modpacks require (1.12.2, 1.16.5, 1.18.2, 1.19.2, 1.20.1), and snapshots.

Question 11

How do my friends join my server, and why can't they connect?

Accepted Answer

Share your server address — the domain and port shown in your dashboard, like yourserver.app.runonflux.io:41234 — and friends add it under Multiplayer → Add Server. Use the domain rather than a raw IP: your server runs on the Flux network, so the underlying node IP can change, while the domain always points at your server. Each server gets its own port, so copy the whole address, port included. Because FluxCraft is fully hosted, there is no home router port-forwarding to configure — the number-one reason self-hosted servers fail to accept connections. If a friend still can't connect, check they are on the same Minecraft version and edition.

Question 12

How fast is deployment and what about DDoS protection?

Accepted Answer

Your Minecraft server deploys in under 30 seconds through our automated system, and every server includes enterprise-grade DDoS protection at no extra cost to keep you online during attacks.

Question 13

How does pricing work, and is there a free trial?

Accepted Answer

FluxCraft uses transparent pay-as-you-go pricing starting at $1.57/mo with no hidden fees or long-term contracts, and the first month is free for new users. You scale RAM up or down as your community grows, running on the Flux decentralized cloud across 50+ countries.
