These three words get used interchangeably and they should not be. Which one you want decides which server you buy, and whether your players have to install anything.

Still not sure? Plugins if you want an economy, land claims and ranks with players joining on a normal Minecraft client. A modpack if you saw a YouTube series and want that exact experience. Mods if you have a specific list in mind.
Search every modpack, mod and plugin on Modrinth, or paste a pack from CurseForge, FTB or Technic. We work out which server type it needs and roughly how much RAM, then hand it to checkout with your choice already filled in — no zip files, no installer, no support ticket.
We host packs from every launcher, not just Modrinth. Tell us where yours lives and we install it before your server first boots.
Change your mind later and you are not stuck: reinstall onto a different platform from the panel, and your files stay where they are.
| Platform | Kind | Runs | What it is for | From |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Paper | Plugin servers | paper, spigot, bukkit, folia | The server most public Minecraft servers actually run. Vanilla gameplay, much better performance than vanilla, and it runs the entire Bukkit/Spigot/Paper plugin ecosystem. If you are not sure what to pick and you want plugins rather than mods, pick this. | $3.99 |
| Purpur | Plugin servers | purpur, paper, spigot, bukkit | Paper with hundreds of extra gameplay toggles bolted on - ridable mobs, tweakable mob AI, per-world game rules - and every Paper plugin still works. | $3.99 |
| Spigot | Plugin servers | spigot, bukkit | The classic plugin server, compiled fresh from BuildTools when your server is created. Pick it when a plugin specifically asks for Spigot; otherwise Paper runs the same plugins faster. | $3.99 |
| Folia | Plugin servers | folia | Paper's multithreaded fork. It splits the world into regions that tick on separate cores, which is a real win for a large, spread-out player base - but only Folia-aware plugins will load. | $3.99 |
| Vanilla | Plugin servers | — | Mojang's server exactly as they ship it. No plugins, no mods, no behaviour changes - the reference build, and the right answer when you want the game to behave exactly as it does in single player. | $3.99 |
| Fabric | Mod loaders | fabric | The lightweight mod loader most modern mods target. It updates to new Minecraft versions quickly, and its performance mods - Lithium, FerriteCore, Krypton - are why a lot of servers choose it. | $8.49 |
| Forge | Mod loaders | forge | The original Minecraft mod loader, and still what most large modpacks and everything before 1.20 is built on. We handle the older Java versions that 1.7-1.16 packs need. | $8.49 |
| NeoForge | Mod loaders | neoforge | The community fork of Forge, and where most new mod development for 1.20.2 and later happens. If a recent pack says NeoForge, this is what it wants. | $8.49 |
| Quilt | Mod loaders | quilt, fabric | A fork of Fabric with its own toolchain that still runs almost every Fabric mod. Pick it when a pack specifically asks for Quilt. | $8.49 |
| Mohist | Mod loaders | forge, bukkit, spigot | A hybrid server: Forge mods and Bukkit plugins on the same world. That combination is genuinely useful - a modpack plus your permissions, economy and anti-grief plugins - but it is less stable than either half alone, so keep backups switched on. | $8.49 |
| Arclight | Mod loaders | forge, neoforge, fabric, bukkit | The other hybrid worth running: Bukkit plugins on top of Forge, NeoForge or Fabric, built on Paper internals. Choose the flavour that matches your mods. | $8.49 |
| CurseForge Modpack | Modpacks | forge, neoforge, fabric | All the Mods, RLCraft, SkyFactory, Better MC, Create-based packs - if it has a server pack on CurseForge we install it for you. Tell us the pack when you order and your server is ready to join. | $8.49 |
| Modrinth Modpack | Modpacks | fabric, quilt, neoforge, forge | Every pack on Modrinth, installed automatically: we download the mods, apply the pack's own config and install the right loader. Cobblemon, Fabulously Optimized, Adrenaline and the rest. | $8.49 |
| FTB Modpack | Modpacks | forge, neoforge | Feed The Beast packs installed with FTB's own server installer - FTB Skies, OceanBlock, Infinity and the rest of the catalogue. | $8.49 |
| Custom Modpack | Modpacks | forge, neoforge, fabric, quilt | For everything else: Technic, ATLauncher, a pack a friend zipped up, or one you built yourself. Give us a link to the server pack and we unpack it, run its installer and work out how to start it. | $8.49 |
| Velocity Proxy | Proxies | velocity | The modern Minecraft proxy. Put your survival, creative and minigame servers behind one address and let players move between them without reconnecting. | $3.99 |
| BungeeCord Proxy | Proxies | bungeecord, waterfall | The classic proxy, plus its Waterfall fork. Maximum plugin compatibility for an existing network; pick Velocity instead if you are starting fresh. | $3.99 |
| Bedrock Edition | Bedrock Edition | — | Mojang's official Bedrock server - the one phones, tablets, consoles and the Windows edition connect to. Add-ons and behaviour packs are supported; Java plugins and mods are not. | $3.99 |
| PocketMine-MP | Bedrock Edition | — | The plugin server for Bedrock clients - effectively Bedrock's answer to Spigot. Hundreds of plugins for minigames, economies and world management that the official Bedrock server cannot run. | $3.99 |
Changed your mind about the pack? Set a new one on the Startup tab in the panel and hit reinstall — no ticket needed. Everything else is yours too: file manager, SFTP, scheduled backups, a real console, and a Game Settings tab that edits server.properties for you.
A light pack of 40–80 mods is comfortable on 4 GB for a handful of friends. A mid-size pack wants 6 GB. Kitchen-sink packs like All the Mods want 8–12 GB, and more once you have a dozen people spread across the world loading chunks. That is why our modded plans start at 4 GB and not 2 GB — a 2 GB modpack server is a refund waiting to happen, so we do not sell one.
For mods and modpacks, yes — everyone needs the same pack in their launcher, which is exactly what CurseForge, Modrinth, Prism and the FTB app are for. Plugins are different: they run entirely on the server, so players join with an unmodified client and install nothing.
Yes, with a hybrid server — Mohist or Arclight. It genuinely works and it is genuinely less stable than either half on its own, so keep backups switched on. If you only need one or two plugin features, look for a mod that does the same job first.
Use the CurseForge / FTB / Technic tab in the Mod Finder. CurseForge and FTB install from the pack name; Technic, ATLauncher and homemade packs install from a link to the server files. If a pack publishes no server files at all, no host can install it — that is the pack, not us.
Anything the platform supports, including old ones. We fetch the right Java version automatically, so 1.7.10 and 1.12.2 packs work as well as the current release.
Yes. Reinstall onto a different platform from the panel whenever you like — your files stay put, and backups are one click before you start. Upgrading to a bigger plan keeps your world, mods and settings.
Modpack servers from $8.49/month. Plugin and vanilla servers from $3.99. No slot limits, no setup fee, no upsells.
Monthly billing, no contract. Tiers are sized for a typical player count and mod list. If performance drops as you grow, upgrade from the client area and your world comes with you. Fair Use & Resource Policy
