Launch a server with one tap on your phone
You don’t want to rent a VPS or wrestle with terminal commands — with mcworld.app, you can spin up a Minecraft multiplayer server right on your iPhone. The process is simple:
- Pick an edition and plan — first decide whether you want Java Edition or Bedrock, then choose a plan and deployment region as needed.
- Automatic provisioning + installation — the system provisions a machine and downloads and installs the matching server build, so you never have to log in over SSH.
- Automatic hardening + launch — the server completes security hardening and goes online, and you get a dedicated address and port.
- Invite friends — send the address and port to your friends, who enter them under ‘Add Server’ in the game to play together.
Full management and hosting only run with your explicit authorization. If you just want to check status, the free monitor-only mode needs only an address and port to view the online state, version, player count, and latency (Java’s default port is 25565, Bedrock’s is 19132).
Deploy your world
Once your server is up, you can deploy worlds you’ve generated from real maps or diagnosed and repaired onto it. Deployment follows a safe pipeline: snapshot → validation → atomic switch → health check → automatic rollback on failure, and it never overwrites your source files — every time, it creates a new version and keeps the original file and hash for traceability. To learn how to make each step more reliable, see the in-depth tutorials Deploy a Server World Safely and Update a Server World Safely.
A few notes
Diagnostics and monitoring are free by default and run locally. If a paid hosting task fails, you’re refunded automatically; pricing is whatever is shown in the app. For how to get friends connected smoothly after your server is up, see Connect to a Minecraft Server.
