02How it works

Signup to multiplayer
in under a minute.

No port forwarding, no DNS setup, no config files.

STEP 01

Create a server

Pick a name, pick a version, click create.

STEP 02

Share the address

Every server gets its own: name.minekeep.gg for Java and name.bedrock.minekeep.gg for Bedrock.

STEP 03

Listed in the hub

Set your server to public and it'll show up in the hub lobby for players to find and join. Private servers stay hidden.

STEP 04

Everything else is handled

Auto-start, hibernation, cross-play and DDoS protection are enabled by default.

03The hub

Every server,
one lobby.

Every public MineKeep server is listed in a shared hub lobby. Players join the hub, browse the live server list, and connect without needing to remember an IP.

GUI ads

Daily-bid slots in the hub menu. Your slot share is your bid divided by the total bid pool, from €0.10/day.

Chat ads

Broadcast a clickable message in the hub chat, from €0.01 each. Priced by demand, with instant feedback when players interact. Ranks unlock color formatting, clickable links, longer messages and sound.

05External servers

Bring your own
server.

Connect a server running on your own hardware or another host. It joins the hub, gets DDoS protection, and uses the same ad system, without moving your world files.

Point us at a host and port

We proxy connections through to your server. You retain full control of your server.

DDoS protection included

We absorb attack traffic before it reaches your origin.

Geo-routed

Players are transferred through the closest edge proxy to your backend for the lowest possible ping.

Player-safe IPs

Real player IPs are hashed before reaching your server. The hash is stable, so alt checkers and IP bans keep working as expected.

Connect a server
External Server
PROXY Protocol

Forwards each player’s hashed IP to your backend so per-player logic works.

MineKeep is a free Minecraft server hosting platform.
You cannot connect to MineKeep if you haven't purchased Minecraft. You can do so on minecraft.net.
Servers remain on as long as at least one player is online. If stopped, the server will be automatically started if someone tries to join. If you need constant uptime, you can upgrade your server.
We run Geyser/Floodgate on the top-level proxy, which allows Bedrock players to be on the same servers as Java players.
MineKeep is, and will remain free forever, with no playtime limits.
There are no limits on the amount of plugins you can use.
