Install a Paper Minecraft server | NodeFlux.eu Docs
Recommended setup path for most Minecraft Java community servers.
Steps
- Choose a Minecraft Java or Paper plan from the game hosting category.
- Deploy the service in the public region closest to most of your players.
- Start the service from the manager panel and wait until the status is online.
- Install only the plugins you actually need, then monitor RAM after the first player test.
- If plugins push the service over memory limits, reduce plugin count or request a plan review.
Notes
- Paper is usually the best first choice for Java servers because it balances plugin support and performance.
- Keep view distance and simulation distance modest on free plans.
Warning
Avoid large public plugin packs without testing memory usage first.
