Minecraft Bedrock friend-server hosting — a private Bedrock world for your group
You want an always-on Bedrock world that friends on Xbox, PlayStation, Switch, mobile and Windows can join, without strangers. For the general overview see Minecraft Bedrock server hosting; for Java plugins see Minecraft Paper.
The job: a crossplay world that's always online
- Players: a friend group of 2–10 runs fine on a small plan.
- Consoles: some consoles need a workaround to join custom servers by IP. Check that before you buy.
- Ping: node location matters most for PvP and redstone.
