Game Servers

Minecraft from first boot to plugins, mods, crossplay and performance — plus Terraria, Factorio and more.

Minecraft Java server quickstart

Create a Minecraft Java server, pick your software, and get friends joining with just a name — the whole journey, free plan and all.

Minecraft software and versions

The Version Changer, family by family — every server software Falix offers, from Vanilla to plugin servers, mod loaders, hybrids, proxies, Bedrock, and Geyser crossplay, with when to pick each.

Install Minecraft plugins

Add plugins to a Paper, Purpur, or Spigot server straight from the panel — search, install, restart, manage — with no file uploads.

Essential Minecraft plugins

A short, opinionated list of the plugins most servers end up installing — what each does, why it matters, and one setup note apiece.

Minecraft mods and modpacks

How mods differ from plugins, installing individual mods from the Mods page, and deploying full modpacks — including what your players need on their end.

Manage your Minecraft worlds

Upload a world from your PC, generate a fresh one, switch which world is active, and reset safely — plus the 3D map and datapacks.

Cracked vs online mode

What online-mode really checks, what switching to cracked (offline) mode changes, and how the panel's Cracked Mode toggle migrates player data safely.

Make your Minecraft server yours

Give your server an MOTD, a custom icon, a whitelist, operators and bans, plus a group-by-group tour of every server.properties setting — all from the panel, with no config-file spelunking.

Bedrock, Java, and crossplay

Three honest ways to run Minecraft for Bedrock and Java players — a pure Bedrock server, a pure Java server, or Java-plus-Bedrock crossplay with Geyser.

Fixing Minecraft lag

Tell server lag from client lag from ping, then pull the levers that actually matter — view distance, lighter software, fewer plugins — and use spark to find the real cause.

How free game servers work

The honest rules of the free plan — when your server sleeps, how the Timer page brings it back, and why free is genuinely fine for playing with friends.

Terraria server quickstart

Spin up a free Terraria server — Vanilla, TShock, or tModLoader — and let your world auto-create on first boot.

Factorio server quickstart

Launch a free Factorio server, let it create your save on first boot, and get the whole factory-building crew connected.

More games you can host

A quick, honest tour of the rest of the catalog — Hytale, BeamMP, Unturned, Subnautica Nitrox, Trackmania and Aloft — and the variables each one gives you on the Settings page.

Build a Minecraft server network

Run a lobby, a survival world, and a minigame server behind one address using a Velocity or BungeeCord proxy — with the Internal Network keeping your backends private. The honest, advanced version.

Tune Paper and Purpur configs safely

A guided tour of paper-global.yml, paper-world-defaults.yml, and purpur.yml — where the files live, the panel's structured Config editor, and the handful of stable keys worth touching.

Install and manage datapacks

Add datapacks from the panel's Datapacks page, understand why they live inside a world, and activate, list, and remove them cleanly with /reload and /datapack.

Push a server resource pack to players

Send everyone the same textures and sounds on join — install one from the panel (it hosts the file for you) or point the five resource-pack properties at your own hosted pack.

Set up a snapshot or testing server

Try a new version, snapshot, plugin update, or risky config on a copy of your world — using instances or a clone — so your live server never takes the hit.

Move a single-player world to your server

Find your world folder on your PC, upload it with the Worlds page folder upload, point level-name at it, and match the version — your solo creation becomes a server everyone can join.

Move your world off Minecraft Realms

Download your world from Realms, upload it to your Falix server, and match the version — plus what you gain (plugins, mods, control) and the one thing to watch.

Game modes, hardcore, and game rules

Set the default game mode and difficulty, run a true hardcore server (and know what really happens on death), and bend the rules with /gamerule — all from the Properties page and console.

Run a healthy Minecraft server: the moderation playbook

The human side of running a server — clear rules, disciplined ops, grief rollbacks, fair bans and appeals, and the Activity log that keeps your staff honest.

Minecraft seeds: pick one and make it yours

Choose a world seed, set level-seed before your world first generates, and understand why it only affects new worlds — plus how to read the seed of a world you already have.

TShock admin: claim your server and run it

Turn a fresh TShock Terraria server into one you control — grab the setup code, become superadmin, create staff accounts and groups, and learn the essential commands and config.json settings.

Curate tModLoader mods for your server

Manage a modded Terraria server the right way — the mods folder, enabled.json, matching every client, and the version pairing that makes or breaks a join.

Factorio mods in depth

Run a modded Factorio server without the guesswork — the mods folder, mod-list.json, dependencies, version matching, and the honest truth about downloading mods to a headless server.

Unturned server quickstart

Spin up a free Unturned dedicated server, set its four variables, understand the optional Steam GSLT, and get your friends connecting by address and port.

BeamMP server quickstart

Host multiplayer BeamNG.drive with BeamMP — generate the required AUTHKEY, set player and car limits and the map, and get everyone driving together.

Subnautica co-op with Nitrox: quickstart

Host a Subnautica multiplayer server with the community Nitrox mod — create the server, find your auto-generated admin password, and get every player on the matching Nitrox client.

Hytale server quickstart

Spin up a free Hytale server — create it, set the auth mode, start, and get friends in with the address and port.

Trackmania server quickstart

Run a Trackmania dedicated server — register a dedicated-server login, set the variables, start, and race with the address and port.

Aloft server quickstart

Host the floating-islands survival game — create the server, tune the world variables, start, and glide in with the address and port.
