SimpleCloud helps you set up and manage a Minecraft server network from one dashboard or the sc command. You create server groups and persistent servers, the platform starts and replaces servers as needed, and you watch everything — consoles, files, players, and resource usage — from one place.
Hosted, free, and built in the open
Your Minecraft network, run from one dashboard
Create server groups, scale with your players, and watch every server from one place. SimpleCloud runs the control plane — your machines just run the game.

Running in minutes
No control plane to host, no databases to configure. You bring the machines that run Minecraft — SimpleCloud handles the rest.
- 1
Sign in and create a network
Open the dashboard and create your network, or join an existing one with an invitation code. The setup wizard starts automatically.
- 2
Connect a machine
Run the one-line command the wizard generates on any Linux machine. It installs the serverhost and everything it needs — Java included.
- 3
Create your first group
The dashboard detects your serverhost automatically. Add a proxy and a lobby group, and your network is online.
Prefer the terminal? The CLI gets you to the same place. Runs on Linux and macOS — the serverhost keeps itself up to date without touching your running servers.
Everything a network needs, nothing to babysit
Stability is the feature. The platform watches your servers, replaces the ones that stop, and keeps itself updated without downtime for your players.
Server groups that scale themselves
Keep free slots available or hold a set number of servers ready — the platform starts and replaces group servers as your player count moves, up and down.

You manage the network. We run the control plane.
The dashboard and CLI talk to our hosted platform, and your serverhosts do exactly one job: run the game.

SimpleCloud platformHosted coordination — managed, monitored, and updated by us
Your serverhostsYour machines, running your Minecraft servers

Manage it from anywhere — your laptop, a VPS, or your girlfriend's computer.
Nothing for you to host
The coordination layer runs on our infrastructure. You never install, update, or debug it — it's simply there when you sign in.
Your servers stay yours
Minecraft runs on your machines, under your control. The platform coordinates servers but never runs them.
Independent by design
Serverhosts update themselves without stopping your Minecraft servers, and running servers keep playing even if a component restarts.
The in-game layer, ready to drop in
Official plugins cover the essentials of every network. Install them — or any plugin from Modrinth and Spigot — per group, straight from the dashboard or CLI.

For developers
One API for your whole network
The Cloud API connects your Java or Kotlin plugins to SimpleCloud — groups, servers, players, and events, all async. Everything the dashboard does is also exposed over REST.
PlayerTransferService.java
// Transfer a player to another server
CloudApi api = CloudApi.create();
api.player().get(playerId)
.thenCompose(player ->
player.connect("lobby-1")
);terminal — sc
$ sc group create
$ sc group start lobby
