Twenty players means you're building something real
At 20 players, your server isn't just a friend group, it's a community. People are logging in at different times, building projects that span multiple sessions, and expecting the world to be there when they connect. That's where 24/7 uptime stops being a luxury and starts being a necessity.
Premium plans give you premium hardware, always-on uptime, offsite backups, and direct access to our team in Discord. For 20 players, the cost splits to $0.30 per person per month.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why is premium recommended for 20 players?
With 20 players across different time zones, you need the server online constantly — not just when someone's actively playing. Premium's 24/7 uptime and hardware ensure a smooth experience at this scale.
Can I start on the free tier and upgrade later?
Yes — start free to test the setup, then upgrade when your community grows or you need 24/7 uptime. Your world carries over when you upgrade.
Do you support plugins like EssentialsX or LuckPerms?
Absolutely. You can upload any plugins through the file manager. For community servers with 20+ players, we recommend Paper as your server type for better performance.
