Yes. No ads, no credit card. Shulkerboxes is free because gameplay is recorded; the how-is-free page explains it.

Do I have to start the server myself?

No. It is ready in about a minute whenever someone joins. There is no renew button.

Can my friends play when I am offline?

Yes. Any friend you have added can join at any time.

Do I need to port forward?

No. We host the server. Your friends connect from the normal Java Edition multiplayer screen.

How much RAM does my server get?

It grows with your group. We measure what your server uses and give it more memory and CPU as you play, up to 5 GB for a friends server. Bigger communities can ask us about a dedicated machine.

How it works

Three steps.

Create your account and name your server.
It is ready in about a minute.
Share the address with the friends you add.

Your friends can play without you.

Friends you add can join any time, even while you're offline. Ready in about a minute. Nobody has to keep it alive.

Nothing to set up.

Share the address. Your friends connect from the normal multiplayer screen. No port forwarding, no router settings, nothing to install.

Your world stays yours.

It is saved whenever the server stops, and you can download it any time. Delete the server and we keep the world for 30 days first.

It grows with you.

The more your group plays, the more memory and CPU your server gets, up to 5 GB for a friends server. Bigger communities can ask us about a dedicated machine.
