NeoForge hosting, from $5 a month

NeoForge servers, for today’s big mods

NeoForge is the newer branch of Forge, where most big mods for current Minecraft are made. Every server starts on Paper; switch it to NeoForge from Mods & Plugins in one click, then add NeoForge mods from Modrinth. Your friends get the same mods in one file.

What you get

All of it comes with every plan, from the smallest up. Nothing to install by hand, nothing extra to pay.

  • NeoForge mods from Modrinth

    Search and install from the server's page, or tick up to 10 and install them with one restart. What each mod needs comes along, and each file is checked against Modrinth's own hash.

  • The newest NeoForge, the right Java

    The server installs the newest NeoForge for its Minecraft version and runs the Java that version needs, so there's nothing to pick by hand.

  • A NeoForge player pack for friends

    The player side of your mods, on NeoForge at your server's version, in one .mrpack file that opens in the Modrinth App, Prism or the CurseForge App, with the server already in the list.

  • Client-only mods, caught

    A mod made only for players' games stops a NeoForge server with "invalid dist DEDICATED_SERVER". The dashboard names the mod and offers to take it off.

  • Tick rate and spark

    The dashboard shows the tick rate, from /tick query or NeoForge's own /neoforge tps, and ops get /spark, installed at start, to find what's lagging.

  • Several Worlds on one server

    Keep a NeoForge world beside a Paper survival world, each with its own mods and settings, and switch between them in a minute.

From paying to playing

  1. Pick a size and pay. The server is up about a minute later.
  2. On Mods & Plugins, switch the software to NeoForge. The Paper world is moved aside, not deleted, and NeoForge makes a new one.
  3. Search Modrinth and install your NeoForge mods. The server backs up, adds them and what they need, and restarts.
  4. Send friends the player pack from the Overview, and the address.

Which size?

One block for every GB of memory. Here’s what some typical servers need, from the same rule as how much RAM you need. Move up or down a size any time; the world comes with you.

Good to know

  • NeoForge mods and Forge mods aren't the same thing on current Minecraft: check which one each mod lists before you install.
  • A server with mods stays on its Minecraft version until you move it from Settings, so a new release can't break your mods.
  • Mods' own code takes about 5 MB each from the plan; the server's Plan page shows what its mods need against its size and warns when it's tight.
  • Playing a ready-made NeoForge pack? Install it as a modpack instead, and it brings its own NeoForge and version.

Your friends could be on tonight

Pick a size, pay, and send them the address. The server is up about a minute after, and you can change size whenever you like.
