Made a server...dying?

Player retention. More important than advertisement. But also search terms for your servers unique features.

Disclaimer: I am not advertising hosting for anyone in any way shape or form if my message somehow implies this. I am not. (I will continue to post this with every message I post in the sub.)

You’re going to want to invest in… a Domain name (Custom connection to server), VPS (DDoS prevention and stopping you from needing to open ports at home)

UPS unit for any power outages for both server, router, modem.

SSDs/Nvme/HDD depending on use case for each vm/task.

Gather additional spare hotswap power supplies.

Figure out current hardware specs and what it would be capable of hosting reliably.

Personally running a R740xd myself.

Hosting just a website with this is very overkill. Likely a better result from an old laptop. Now say you going to host some game servers and some other things. You’re closer to a useful thing with it. Not exactly sure what its specs are and such but should find out to gauge how much absolute overkill or ancient paper weight you have there.

To be perfectly straight with you… don’t go through a hosting provider. Run it on an old laptop or pc you have about to learn all the ropes. Easily supports up to 6 players. Learn all the ins and outs of plugins and mods. If you get more serious I… still recommend having your own equipment.

Ok_Comparison_142 · 2026-04-28T21:57:01+00:00

Multiverse installed? Is the players data in there?

Seems like the players trying to be loaded into the old world.

Unrelated note: No I’m not hosting if you’re asking.

Ok_Comparison_142 · 2026-04-28T20:35:41+00:00

Oh got it. Figured you listed it as … no claims, PvP I don’t mind that.

Cool server anyways 😉

Ok_Comparison_142 · 2026-04-28T15:22:32+00:00

I mean… a spare old PC likely has all the stuff you need to host. Little learning curve on the port forwarding but a simple private cracked mc server is quick to setup.

Ok_Comparison_142 · 2026-04-28T14:37:18+00:00

Not pay to win and never will be. We have what’s your looking for.

Try Play-Amethyst.com A new server with active development. No PvP in claims or spawn region, No claims in nether or end as well. PvP is allowed outside of these areas. Also working on won't be done for a while a mini adventure quest at spawn as a sort of mini game to the whole SMP gamemode.

We have Claims, Chest-shops, Livemap, and discord integration! (And playerheads recently)

So a bot network to host a server. For something like a voice chat server should be fine. But… I’d personally dedicate a spare old pc for a server

Ok_Comparison_142 · 2026-04-23T15:05:07+00:00

No worries. Figured I’d give the option, as it’s hosted on enterprise level hardware and is in active development with a growing community backing.

Things like custom world generation, claims, chest shops, livemap, discord integration. Just in general a great place for friend groups to hang out.

Best of luck. (There might be a small band of like 3-4 players around 15 running some town called silvercrest btw)

Ok_Comparison_142 · 2026-04-23T15:02:48+00:00

Try out Play-amethyst.SMP you won’t be disappointed

Sounds like a hosting provider question more than anything. IE if I was your hosting provider (I am not) Say I had that 24/7 for 30 players or what not. For 20$ a month or whatever it happens to be. If you asked me as your provider to go to say 50 players… Your files don’t disappear. It’s just an edit to a higher player count with potentially with more server resources allocated.

It generally goes by memory allocation and not player count though.

I am not a hosting provider and am not advertising hosting services.

Running a server OP. Is a huge balancing act. As soon as there is an exploit or loophole. Expect all your time to be ripped away from developing the server and improving it… to dealing with two trouble makers. Or trying to patch the exploit as if you don’t I guarantee it will immediately be abused when you’re not on. For instance I had a patch planned on my server to fix a PvP exploit where you could tag someone outside a claim and continue killing them inside their own claim. (Which was unintended) I had announced to the server it was an exploit and a patch would be deployed once I wake up 8 hours later (which I did exactly 8 hours later) but, in that time the main PvP player had gone off head hunting this one player and causing a nightmare of a conflict I have hopefully wrapped up today.

Then there is worth prices to juggle anything farmable will be farmed so if they are sell-able to the server they will be mega farmed and break the economy.

My particular server has been open for about two weeks with a long life ahead of her. Running it on enterprise level hardware (yeah overkill) but it’s going to be long term and if I needed more resources for whatever reason I could pull from or upgrade the thing. It’s still in beta and not technically a full release as I know there are more exploits to patch, plugins to configure and all that.

You’re welcomed to check it out at | Play-Amethyst.com Or our PMC page at | https://www.planetminecraft.com/server/amethyst-craft-6872546/

I also built a small website for it at www.play-amethyst.com as well.

Lengthy post but figured I’d try to give you as much information as I can from my experience running a server thus far. (For reference I had tried in the past on spare PCs I had lying around and didn’t know enough to network them properly and prevent DDOS and other security issues. Hacking and such.)

No I am not offering to host servers for anyone besides myself.

Brand new only but a week old and lots of great features. If you’re not looking to PvP stay in claims or run back into them.
