Servers and hosting

Saved servers#

The Servers page keeps the servers you play on. Star up to 10 and they appear on Home. Online-mode servers need an online account.

Host a Paper server#

The Host Server page runs and manages a local PaperMC server.

1. Open Host Server.
2. Start the server.
3. Wait for the status to show Running. That means Paper reports it is ready.

Port forwarding#

The launcher does not set up your router. For friends outside your network to join, forward the port yourself.

Tip: Test with a friend on your own network first. If that works and outside players cannot join, the problem is your router.
