How can we help?

Most deploys finish in under 90 seconds from the time payment is confirmed. The wizard takes about a minute to fill out, then we provision the container, set up the network, and start the Minecraft server in the background.

Vanilla, Paper, Purpur, Fabric, and Forge — pick from the dropdown in the deploy wizard. You can change the Minecraft version, install mods, and run plugins (on Paper/Purpur).

Each server gets a subdomain like myserver.ravenousmc.com — players just type that in the Add Server box, no port number needed. We set up the SRV record automatically.

No — the seed is locked once the world is generated. We collect it in the deploy wizard so it can be baked in at first boot. If you need to change it, the only path is a fresh deploy.

Go to your server's Settings tab in the panel and use the Whitelist section. Type the username (no UUIDs needed) — we look it up against Mojang automatically.

Use the Files tab in the panel to upload .jar files into the /mods (Forge/Fabric) or /plugins (Paper/Purpur) folder, then restart the server from the Overview tab. We don't restrict which mods or plugins you can run.

It's a Minecraft default warning. Our servers run with online-mode=true and authenticate against Mojang directly, so the warning doesn't apply to your server. The message comes from Paper itself and we can't suppress it without forking Paper.

The advertised slot count is the comfortable limit for your plan's RAM. You can technically set max-players higher in Settings, but the server will struggle if you exceed what the heap can support. Better to upgrade your plan.

We pick the right Java version automatically based on your Minecraft version (Java 8 for legacy, Java 17 for modern, Java 21 for the newest). You can't override it — picking the wrong one causes startup crashes.

Every plan includes 3 backup slots. You can run them manually or set a daily schedule. Backups are encrypted per-instance and stored on our infrastructure — your world data is treated like production data.

Buy add-on slots from the Backups tab on your server — $1.50/slot/month. Backup storage above the free 3-slot baseline is metered at $0.05/GB-month.

Per-second — we restore the snapshot directly into the container, no re-upload required. Most restores complete in under 60 seconds.

Backups are retained for 30 days after a server is destroyed, so you can restore to a new instance if you change your mind. After 30 days they're permanently deleted.

Subscription auto-renews monthly (or quarterly/annually if you pick a longer term). Prepaid is a one-time payment for N months — when it runs out, the server is destroyed unless you renew or convert to a subscription. Both get the same discount ladder for longer terms.

Right now plan changes require redeploying to the new plan and restoring from backup. Direct in-place resizing is on our roadmap. Contact us if you need help with the migration.

We retry the charge for 24 hours and email you. If it's still failing, the server is suspended (stopped, but data intact). 48 hours after suspension, the server is destroyed — backups are retained for 30 days regardless.

No bandwidth charges. The only metered item is backup storage above the 3 free slots ($0.05/GB-month). Everything else is included in your plan price.

We use email-based magic codes — no password to remember. Enter your email, we send a 6-digit code, you type it in. You can also enroll a TOTP authenticator app for 2FA.

Cancel any running servers first, then contact us — we'll delete your account and all associated data. We don't sell or share your information with anyone.
