Server Management

Run any kind of server,
without the setup pain

Create a server in seconds, switch Minecraft versions without losing worlds or mods, and manage everything from a clean, modern interface. Java is handled for you automatically — no more "Unsupported Class Version" errors.

  • Vanilla, Paper, Spigot, Forge, Fabric, NeoForge, Bedrock, and proxy networks
  • Change Minecraft version without losing worlds, mods, or configs
  • Import existing servers from ZIP or world folder — auto-detects type and version
  • MOTD editor, server icon, custom JVM flags — all in one place
  • Automatic crash detection with mod auto-fixing
Create Server dialog with categorised server types — Java, Bedrock, modded, and proxy
Mods, Plugins & Content

Install mods in
two clicks

No FTP, no manual file uploads, no hunting through forums. The built-in CurseForge browser searches, version-matches, and installs mods and plugins directly into your server. Drag in a modpack ZIP and it strips the client mods for you.

  • CurseForge mod and plugin browser, right inside the app
  • Smart version matching — only installs files compatible with your server
  • Drag-and-drop modpack import with automatic client-mod stripping
  • Datapack management with version compatibility (1.13+)
  • Bedrock resource and behaviour pack manager
Built-in CurseForge browser for mods and plugins
Remote Access

Manage from anywhere,
without opening ports

The app runs on your Windows PC at home. The remote web dashboard connects through a Cloudflare Tunnel — your home IP is never exposed, no router config required. Open it on your phone, tablet, or a work laptop.

  • Live console and commands — just like sitting at your PC
  • Real-time CPU, RAM, TPS, and MSPT monitoring
  • Multi-user access with Owner, Admin, and Moderator roles per server
  • Whitelist, ops, bans, and kicks — all from the browser
  • Works on any device with a browser — no app install needed

New · Relay Pro

Hide your home IP.
Let anyone join safely.

Relay Pro routes your game traffic through a protected server in your region — your real IP never reaches players. No port forwarding, no exposed network. Each server gets its own custom subdomain.

  • Custom subdomain like yourname.play.mcservermanager.com
  • IP protected — players connect to the relay, not your home
  • DDoS protection built in (rate limiting, auto-block, spike detection)
  • Activate or stop any time — credit-based, no long contract
£2.50 / month · Standard plan add-on
IP Protected Your home IP is hidden from every player
Custom Subdomain Pick your own memorable address
DDoS Protection Per-IP rate limits and auto-blocking

And Plenty More

Everything else packed in — no extras to install, no plugins to configure

Keep It Smooth

Scheduled restarts by interval, time-of-day, or when empty. Players get in-game warnings.

Never Lose a World

Automatic backups on stop with health checks and one-click restore.

Spot Lag Early

Real-time CPU, RAM, TPS, and MSPT. Catch problems before players notice.

Alerts in Discord

Server start/stop, crashes, and player join/leave — right in your channel.

Zero-Config Networking

UPnP auto port forwarding — no router login. Built-in network diagnostics. If your router doesn't support UPnP, manual port forwarding takes minutes.

Proxy Networks

Link servers with Velocity or BungeeCord. Configs and start/stop coordinated for you.

Switch Worlds Instantly

Create, rename, import, and delete worlds. Supports ZIP and .mcworld files.

Never Touch Java Again

Detects and downloads the right Java version automatically. No version errors, ever. Learn how it works →

Keep Your Drive Tidy

Scan and remove old logs, crash reports, and unused dimension data. Free up space without touching anything important.

Player Management

Kick, ban, whitelist, and op players without touching the console. Full list always visible.

MOTD Editor

Build your server's message of the day visually — colours, bold, italic, preview as you type.

Auto-Restart on Crash

If the server process dies unexpectedly, the app detects it and restarts automatically.

Version Switching

Upgrade or downgrade any server's Minecraft version in one click. Keeps your world intact.

Datapack Management

Browse, install, and remove datapacks with a file picker. No manual folder digging.

Config Editor

Edit server.properties with a full field list and descriptions — no raw file editing needed.

Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers to common questions

Is MC Server Manager free?

The Lite version is completely free and includes most features. The Standard version (£1.99 one-time) removes the session time limit, increases server/RAM caps, and unlocks Relay Pro as an optional £2.50/month add-on.

Does MC Server Manager work on Windows?

Yes. MC Server Manager is built exclusively for Windows 10 and Windows 11. It's a native Windows desktop app — no command line, no Linux, no Docker required. Available on the Microsoft Store and as a direct download.

Is MC Server Manager only for Windows?

The desktop app is Windows-only. However, the remote web dashboard works in any browser on any device — so you can monitor and manage your servers from a phone, tablet, or another computer once the app is running on your Windows machine.

What's the session time limit on Lite?

Lite allows 3-hour server sessions with a 6-hour cooldown between sessions. Standard has no session limits — your servers can run 24/7.

Can I run multiple servers at the same time?

Yes. Lite supports up to 3 simultaneous servers. Standard has no server limit. The app automatically detects port conflicts to prevent issues.

Do I need to install Java separately?

No. The app automatically detects installed Java versions and offers to download the correct one if it's missing — always the right version for your Minecraft release.

Can friends connect from outside my network?

Yes. The app auto-forwards your port via UPnP so friends can join without touching your router. For hiding your home IP, Relay Pro routes traffic through a protected server so players never see your address. You can also manually port forward if needed.

What Minecraft server types are supported?

MC Server Manager supports Java Edition (Vanilla, Paper, Spigot, Forge, Fabric, NeoForge), Bedrock Edition, and proxy networks (Velocity and BungeeCord). Every major server type in one app.

Does the app collect my data?

No. MC Server Manager runs entirely on your machine and does not collect, transmit, or store any personal data. See our Privacy Policy for details.
