How it works

One address. Zero administration.

The server itself is the product — no control panels, no JVM flags, no hardware guesswork. Your friends connect exactly like any other Minecraft server.

Share one address

dragons.worldfolder.gg is yours forever. Players add it to the normal server list — Java or Bedrock — and it always resolves.

2

The server wakes itself

The first join triggers startup in seconds. Friends wait in a lightweight lobby with a live progress screen — Standard Wake in ~20s, Fast start in under 10.

FAQ

Straight answers.

Minecraft server hosting with no fine print. If a question is missing, ask us at hello@worldfolder.gg.

What is WorldFolder?
WorldFolder is Minecraft server hosting for people who want to play, not administer. Your server keeps one permanent address, wakes automatically when friends join, and costs exactly what you configure. No RAM selectors, no JVM flags, no dashboards.
Is there a free Minecraft server hosting tier?
Yes. Every WorldFolder starts free: up to 4 simultaneous players, Optimized Vanilla, a fresh world and 10 GB storage, included forever. Maps are always free. Most founders grow past the free tier within a few weeks — upgrades are monthly, yearly or locked as a Founder Year.
How much does a Minecraft server cost per month?
WorldFolder pricing starts at €0. A server for 8 friends with fast start is €2.49/month, and a server for 15 friends with a modpack, plugins and voice chat lands around €6.50/month. Yearly billing saves 20%. Typical Minecraft hosting costs €8–15/month per server, so founders usually save 40–60%.
How fast does the server start?
Standard Wake starts your world in roughly 20 seconds while friends wait in a lightweight lobby. Fast start, a €0.99 upgrade, targets under 10 seconds using pre-warmed caches and priority scheduling. Always Online keeps the server running 24/7.
Can I host modpacks and plugins?
Yes. Choose from popular modpacks like Cobblemon, Better MC, Create and All the Mods 10, and add plugins such as EssentialsX, land claims, voice chat and live web maps. The pricing calculator shows the exact price for any combination.
Do Java and Bedrock players play together?
Yes. Java + Bedrock is a €0.99/month edition that lets every player join the same world, no matter the device. Some heavy modpacks are Java-only because Bedrock cannot render their content.
What is a Founder Year?
Founders can commit to 12 months at today’s locked price — no payment today, just a reservation when early access opens. Founder Years get the 20% yearly discount plus free Fast start for the whole year, and today’s price is locked forever for the first 100 worlds.
What if it does not work for my group?
Every paid plan comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee. Your world exports anytime — no lock-in, ever.
Do I need a credit card?
No. The free tier requires no card at all. You only add payment when you upgrade, and every upgrade is optional, monthly, yearly or cancellable at any time.
