What Minecraft server hosting at WebJi® includes

A WebJi® Minecraft server is a KVM machine in India with dedicated RAM and vCPU, NVMe storage, a static IPv4 address and a browser panel for start, stop, console, files and backups. The world lives on the server, so it stays online when your own PC is off and friends can log in at any hour.

Dedicated resources

RAM and vCPU are assigned to your server on KVM, not drawn from an oversold pool behind a slot count.

One address that stays

A static IPv4 that players save in their server list once, with no change after restarts.

Panel plus root

Console, file manager, scheduled restarts and backups in the browser, with SSH root underneath for anything else.

Filtered game ports

UDP floods and bot-join attacks are filtered at the network edge before they reach the world.

If your community also plays other titles, the game server hosting hub covers them; CS2 and Valheim have their own sizing guides.

Java or Bedrock: which Minecraft edition should your server run?

Run Java Edition for a PC community that wants plugins and mods; run Bedrock when most players are on phones or consoles. In Indian groups where friends mix laptops and Android phones, a Java server with the Geyser plugin lets both join one world.

Minecraft Java and Bedrock server editions compared
Decision	Java Edition	Bedrock Edition
Players on	Windows, macOS, Linux	Android, iOS, Xbox, PlayStation, Switch, Windows
Server software	Paper, Spigot, Purpur, Forge, NeoForge, Fabric	Mojang's Bedrock Dedicated Server
Customisation	Plugins and full mods	Add-ons and behaviour packs
Default port	TCP 25565	UDP 19132
Crossplay	Geyser on the Java server lets Bedrock players join; open both ports

Java servers run on the Java runtime, and recent Minecraft releases need Java 21 or later — match the runtime to your server version before the first start.

How much RAM does a Minecraft server need?

A Paper server for about ten friends runs on 2–4 GB of RAM, 20–40 players with plugins need 6–8 GB, and modpacks start at 8 GB. Treat these as starting points and check the memory graph after a week of real play.

Minecraft server RAM by world type — planning guidance, not a guaranteed player cap
World type	RAM	Players	What uses the rest
Vanilla or Paper	2–4 GB	5–15	View distance above 10 chunks, large farms
Paper or Purpur with plugins	6–8 GB	20–40	Each heavy plugin, region backups
Forge or Fabric modpack	8–12 GB	5–20	Mod count, world-generation mods
Public network or several worlds	12 GB and up	60+	Per-world overhead, proxy layer

RAM is not the only limit: a Minecraft world ticks on one main thread, so single-core CPU speed decides whether 30 players feel smooth or laggy. Lowering view-distance in server.properties is the cheapest fix before buying more memory.

How much does Minecraft server hosting cost in India?

WebJi® quotes each Minecraft server in INR before payment, with 18% GST on the invoice, sized to your edition, player count and mod list. There is no per-GB price list on this page and no separate setup fee; the quote also states the renewal figure.

Send: edition, expected players, plugin or modpack list, and whether you need crossplay.
Receive: the RAM and CPU specification with the INR figure including GST.
Pay: only after you have seen the figure; billing is in INR with a GST invoice.

Plugins, mods and modpacks on your Minecraft server

Plugins run only on the server, so vanilla clients still join; mods change the game itself, so every player needs the same modpack version. Choose the server software first, because plugins and mods do not mix on the same jar without special builds.

Plugins (Paper, Spigot, Purpur): EssentialsX for commands, LuckPerms for ranks, WorldGuard for protected claims.
Mods (Forge, NeoForge, Fabric): one jar per mod in the mods folder, plus the matching loader on each client.
Modpacks: install the server pack at exactly the version players run, or they cannot connect.
Uploading: the panel file manager for single jars, SFTP for a full pack; restart to load.

Why a Minecraft server in India gives lower ping

A server in India keeps the round trip inside the country for players on Jio, Airtel and BSNL, while a Singapore or European host adds roughly 80–200 ms. Players feel that delay as late block breaks and rubber-banding in fights.

The exact figure depends on the player's city and ISP, so test from your own connection before a tournament. Regions and facility notes are on the server locations page. DDoS filtering keeps the server reachable during a flood; it does not stop cheats, duping or harassment, which remain moderator work — keep a whitelist while the server is private and do not post the IP publicly before launch. The DDoS protection service explains the filtering in more depth.

How to get a Minecraft server set up with WebJi®

Email your requirements, accept the quote, and the server is provisioned with your chosen jar and a static IPv4; you then accept the EULA and invite players. Existing worlds move over by SFTP or through free migration.

Request the quote at support@webji.services or through the contact page with edition, players and mods.
Approve the specification and INR figure, then pay the GST invoice.
Receive the server with Paper, Purpur, Forge or Fabric installed and the IPv4 issued.
Configure it: set eula=true in eula.txt, adjust server.properties, add yourself to ops.json and whitelist the first players.
Bring an existing world by uploading the world folder — region files, player data and level.dat together — or ask for free migration, subject to terms and approval.
Back up before every change. A daily scheduled backup covers ordinary damage; take a manual one before upgrades, keep a copy off the server, and test one restore. The 3-2-1 backup rule explains why.

Support is 24/7 by email in Hindi and English, average first reply under 60 minutes. WebJi® has served 12,000+ clients from Jaipur since 2005, with a 99.9% uptime target and history on the network status page.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Can I run a Minecraft server for a school or college club?

Yes. A whitelisted Paper server with about 6 GB of RAM suits a club of 20–30 students, and LuckPerms lets teachers or club leads hold moderator ranks. Billing goes on an INR GST invoice in the institution's or organiser's name.

Why does my Minecraft server lag even with free RAM?

Minecraft runs world ticks on one main thread, so a busy farm, too many entities or a high view distance can stall it while RAM sits unused. Lower view-distance and simulation-distance, limit entity farms, and use a timing or profiler plugin to find the cause before upgrading.

Can I change from vanilla to Paper or to a modpack later?

Vanilla to Paper usually keeps the same world folder. Moving to a modpack generally needs a fresh world or careful conversion, because mod blocks and generation differ. Take a full backup first, then swap the server jar from the panel.

Can I use my own domain name instead of the IP address?

Yes. Point an A record such as play.yourname.in at the server's static IPv4; Java players can then join by name. If you use a non-default port, add an SRV record for _minecraft._tcp so players do not need to type the port.

Do Bedrock players on Android need anything extra to join a Java server?

No app beyond Minecraft itself. With Geyser installed on the Java server and UDP 19132 open, phone players add the server by address and port. Adding the Floodgate plugin lets them join without owning a Java account.
