Host a Minecraft server. Play with your friends in two clicks.

ServerCraft is two small, free apps: one that turns any PC into a real Minecraft host, and one lightweight Android app that lets Bedrock friends join it. Java players just get a plain address, no app required. No port forwarding, no config files, no monthly hosting bill.

ServerCraft Host

The full dashboard: create and manage servers, install mods from Modrinth, back up worlds automatically, and let ServerCraft handle reaching your friends over UPnP, IPv6, or a zero-config Cloudflare Tunnel.

ServerCraft Companion

Java players get a plain address to type in directly — no client app needed at all. For Bedrock, consoles and mobile can't type a WAN address, so the Android Companion app saves up to 5 servers and broadcasts one to your local network — it shows up under "Friends"/"LAN Games" automatically.

Android iOS (via BedrockTogether)

ServerCraft doesn't build an iOS app — the button above opens the free third-party BedrockTogether on the App Store, which does the same LAN-broadcast job.

The free third-party app BedrockTogether does the same LAN-broadcast job as the Companion app above, if you'd rather not install a ServerCraft-specific one:
  1. Install BedrockTogether from your phone or PC's app store (search "BedrockTogether").
  2. Enter the server address your host sent you.
  3. It broadcasts to your local network — the server then shows up under "Friends"/"LAN Games" on your PS5, Xbox, or Switch automatically.

Why two apps, not one

🧭

Hosts need control

Server settings, mods, backups, network setup — a real dashboard, because you're responsible for the world.

📡

Bedrock players need a bridge

Consoles can't type a WAN address at all — the Companion app broadcasts it to the LAN instead. Java players just get a plain address, no app required.

Everything you need to host effortlessly

⚡

Zero Config Networking

Smart routing tries UPnP, then a confirmed-reachable direct IPv4, then falls back to the Companion app's relay for Bedrock — automatically, no router login required.

🧩

Modrinth Integration

Search and 1-click install mods, modpacks, resource packs, and data packs straight from Modrinth — dependencies resolved for you.

🔄

Auto Backups

Incremental world snapshots on a schedule, plus one before every start/stop — restore to any point with one click.

🎮

Cross-Platform Bridge

Consoles and mobile join seamlessly through the Companion app — no address to type, no extra setup on their end.

Frequently asked questions

Does ServerCraft cost anything?
No. All three apps are free, there's no account requirement to host on your own network, and no monthly fee — you're running the server on your own hardware.
Do my friends need to install an app too?
Java players never need an app — they always just get a plain address to type in. Bedrock/console players use the Companion app (Android/console) or BedrockTogether (iOS/console) to broadcast the server to their local network.
Does it work without port forwarding?
Yes. ServerCraft tries UPnP automatically first; if that's unavailable, it verifies whether the port is already reachable another way (e.g. a manual router rule); if neither applies, the Companion app's relay still gets your Bedrock friends connected without you touching your router at all.
