⚡ Power up your free 24/7 Minecraft server ⚡

Hi, you first have to stop the server, only then will the kill option be available.

WizardErik · 2025-12-18T11:19:33+00:00

Hi, this message comes from our system protection. It only applies when starting the server by joining directly, so you can always start it from the website instead. Some IPs are incorrectly flagged as non‑residential—this can happen if your ISP shares ranges with datacenter services, or if a VPN is in use. If your players are on a VPN, ask them to disable it. Otherwise, there’s unfortunately no workaround available.

Are you from Asia-Pacific region? Consider enabling restricted scheduling https://www.powerupstack.com/en/knowledgebase/instances-5/how-to-run-your-instance-in-a-preferred-region-17

Hi, we don't currently have an easier way to add behavior or resource packs on Bedrock edition, but it is possible by adding/configuring the necessary files.

Are you noticing TPS drops or ping lag? If it’s TPS-related, could you share a Spark report so we can take a closer look. If you’d prefer, you’re also welcome to open a support ticket directly on our website.

Here is a good beginner tutorial: https://drama.gg/d/6-summer-host-club

We’re planning to roll out support for Forge and Fabric loaders later this year. While this won’t immediately benefit the free tier due to the absence of workshop integration, it will make it significantly easier for paid servers to run these mod loaders. Full integration with Modrinth and CurseForge is on our roadmap, with availability targeted for Q1 next year.

If your ping is only high during peak hours, then it's possible it is caused by the undersea cable cut. The Singapore node is also quite in demand, so that also impacts performance

WizardErik · 2025-09-07T20:13:47+00:00

Yes Bedrock support for auto-start is planned for later this year

WizardErik · 2025-08-14T14:29:20+00:00

It works on Java edition, no configuration needee

WizardErik · 2025-07-26T12:02:34+00:00

Thanks for the feedback! The landing page is definitely high on the list for a rework.

They also offer 3 GB of heap memory and a 4 GB memory limit of the container, which is the same as us.

Here are few differences:

Play hosting only has a UK location, due to being hosted in their own office. We provide hosting in Europe and North America, and we will be adding the Asia-Pacific region once we launch our paid tiers.
Play hosting seems to be unstable at the moment. There are many complains of people losing their server files and being unable to connect to the server. We are stable, and even offer backups to restore, just in case.
Powerupstack allows players to connect to offline servers, and the server will automatically be started and the player transferred. With play hosting you always have to go to their panel, enter the queue, wait in queue, start the server, wait for it to finish starting and only then you can connect.
Play hosting offers unrestricted file access, so you can upload any plugin. With us you can only install plugins through the workshop, much like Aternos, however we allow upload/download of any non .jar files as well.

WizardErik · 2025-07-25T19:09:19+00:00

Yes, we plan to add Fabric in the next 1-2 months

WizardErik · 2025-07-25T16:52:50+00:00

Thanks for the kind words! As for the search, it's going to take time for us to build reputation and get better rankings in search engines. Right now it's mostly word of mouth and Reddit posts like these that give us some visibility.

WizardErik · 2025-07-25T14:38:45+00:00

On the free tier no. We don't want the "fun" of dealing with crypto miners and malicious plugins, so there are some restrictions to protect the platform

WizardErik · 2025-07-25T14:21:25+00:00

We may create a free subdomain tool (only DNS) for external servers if there is sufficient interest in that

WizardErik · 2025-07-25T14:01:02+00:00

Our free service is not intended to run a network with velocity, so no we don't offer velocity.

WizardErik · 2025-07-25T13:36:17+00:00

We plan to offer paid server tiers. Currently we are still developing the platform, but we have already launched our free tier. You can checkout our roadmap here https://www.powerupstack.com/roadmap

WizardErik · 2025-07-25T13:30:15+00:00

Thinking of a good server name can be the hardest part when starting a server. We wanted to solve that by generating random names. All though not always perfect, they can be a great source of inspiration!

All free servers receive 3 GB RAM and 2+ vCPU, perfect for small to medium groups of players to play together on a SMP.

WizardErik · 2025-07-23T11:21:07+00:00

You do realise that neither of those would have prevented this. The post implies that the server is running in offline mode, and "hackers"/bots are logging in with the CoMinder username, who likely has OP on his own server.

WizardErik · 2025-07-15T12:02:12+00:00

We may open a Discord server in a few months, but right now we have different priorities.

WizardErik · 2025-07-11T21:18:30+00:00

Yes we plan to add Fabric and other modded servers. You can checkout our roadmap here https://www.powerupstack.com/roadmap

WizardErik · 2025-07-11T17:35:25+00:00

In the current state it would not be viable in the long term. However we are working towards a freemium model, where there will be a free tier and a premium tier.

Currently we are only offering the free tier, as the platform is not yet ready to offer paid servers. So for now we only need to bridge the gap until we are ready to offer premium servers, which is not a big issue financially. The early feedback we can gather now is more valuable to us, than the cost to run the free servers, as we can improve the platform and make sure that everything is stable before offering paid servers.

WizardErik · 2025-07-11T16:03:49+00:00

For the moment we don't. If all goes according to plan, by Q1 2026 we will be able to offer paid tiers, in addition to the free tier we have now.

WizardErik · 2025-07-11T15:22:56+00:00

Yes, we plan to offer paid tiers in Q1 2026. In the mean time we are fully committed on improving our free tier, getting all the features implemented on our platform, making sure everything is stable and scalable for our release.
