Works with both Java and Bedrock
Our free Minecraft servers work with both editions of the game. You get a Java Edition server, and Bedrock players can join thanks to GeyserMC.
Minecraft Java Edition
Natively supportedYour server is delivered as Java Edition. Players on PC (Windows, macOS, Linux) connect directly, with no extra setup required.
- Direct connection, nothing to install
- Compatible with versions 1.8 to 1.21+
- Spigot / Paper plugins supported
Minecraft Bedrock Edition
Via GeyserMCPlayers on mobile, console and Windows 10/11 (Bedrock) can join your Java server by installing the free GeyserMC plugin, added in a few clicks from the panel.
- Java + Bedrock crossplay on a single server
- Free GeyserMC plugin, 1-click install
- Floodgate to join without a Java account
Good to know: we deliver a Minecraft Java Edition server. Bedrock compatibility is handled by the GeyserMC plugin (+ Floodgate), which you install yourself from the panel. It's free and fully supported on our free plan.
Plugins and mods: what can you install on the free server?
The free server supports the full plugin ecosystem. Mods and modpacks are reserved for premium plans.
Plugins
Included on freeThe free plan runs on Spigot / Paper / Bukkit — the three most widely used plugin-compatible server types. Popular plugins that work out of the box:
- EssentialsX — core commands (home, warp, economy)
- WorldEdit — in-game terrain editing
- LuckPerms — permission management
- Vault — economy API used by most plugins

OuiHeberg's free plan stands out on three points: 8 GB of dedicated RAM (vs 1–2 GB elsewhere), true 24/7 availability without sleep mode, and 4 server locations (France, USA, Canada, Australia) so you pick the one closest to your players.
The honest trade-off: the free plan caps at 4 simultaneous players and does not support mods. If you need modpacks or a larger group, the premium plan removes both limits.
What our players say
Over 100,000 players trust OuiHeberg to host their Minecraft server.
"Perfect for playing with my friends! The free server is more than enough for our 4-player sessions. 1-click installation, nothing to configure."
— Lucas M."I started with the free server and eventually upgraded to premium to add mods. Great service, Discord support is very responsive."
— Emma R."Very good free offer. The panel is easy to use and the server is stable. I recommended OuiHeberg to all my gamer friends."
— Thomas B.Frequently asked questions about free Minecraft servers
All answers to your questions about our free Minecraft server plan.
Forever, as long as you confirm activity once a month in the control panel. There is no trial period, no automatic billing, and no credit card on file. The free plan is a permanent tier, not a promotional offer.
Yes. The free server runs on Spigot / Paper / Bukkit, which supports the full plugin ecosystem. Install EssentialsX, WorldEdit, LuckPerms, and thousands of others directly from the control panel. Mods and modpacks (Forge, Fabric) require a premium plan.
Latency depends on the distance between your players and the server location you chose. OuiHeberg offers 4 locations: France (Marseille), USA (New York), Canada (Montreal), and Australia (Sydney). Pick the one closest to your group for the lowest ping.
Yes, at any time. Your server, world data, and plugins carry over automatically. No migration needed — you just unlock higher RAM, more player slots, mod support, and backups.
It depends on your use case. OuiHeberg is the best option if you want true 24/7 uptime (no sleep mode), 8 GB RAM, and a choice of server location — for groups of up to 4 players on Java Edition. Bedrock cross-play is available for free via the GeyserMC plugin. Aternos is better if you need modpack support on a free plan; Minehut suits players who want a quick casual server with up to 10 slots.
Yes. Your server runs continuously on OuiHeberg's infrastructure — it does not go to sleep when players disconnect, unlike Aternos or Minehut. The only requirement is a monthly activity confirmation (one click in the panel). Miss it and the server is suspended, not deleted — reactivate it instantly whenever you're ready.
Yes, via the free GeyserMC plugin. We deliver a Java Edition server, but GeyserMC (+ Floodgate) lets Bedrock players — console, mobile, Windows 10/11 — join your server. The plugin installs in a few clicks from the panel and is fully supported on the free plan, for free Java + Bedrock cross-play.
No. Plugins (the Spigot/Paper/Bukkit ecosystem) are fully supported on the free plan, but mods and modpacks — Forge, Fabric, NeoForge, ATLauncher packs — require a premium plan. The distinction: plugins run server-side only, while mods require both the server and each player's client to be modified.
The main differences: OuiHeberg gives you 8 GB of dedicated RAM vs Aternos's shared/variable allocation; OuiHeberg stays online 24/7 while Aternos puts the server to sleep when no players are connected (causing a 30–60 second startup delay); OuiHeberg lets you choose your server location across 4 regions, while Aternos does not. Aternos's advantage: it supports modpacks on the free tier, which OuiHeberg reserves for premium.
