HaruHostMinecraft: Java Edition dedicated server
Minecraft: Java Edition server manager for Windows and Linux
What HaruHost does for Minecraft: Java Edition
Install mods and modpacks from Modrinth, add them from Discord, see who is playing with playtime, and let friends join through the Tunnel.
Mods, modpacks and profiles
Modrinth mods and modpacks for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, and Modrinth and Hangar plugins for Paper and Purpur, kept in mod profiles. Add them from Discord.
Updates on your terms
Choose Any update or Patch release. Patch release stays within the version line, for example 1.21.3 to 1.21.11, and never jumps to a new major version.
Auto Config
Game mode, difficulty, hardcore, PvP, whitelist, world seed and type, view and simulation distance, and server memory, without editing server.properties.

Minecraft: Java Edition server questions
Can HaruHost host Minecraft: Java Edition servers?
Yes, with you as the host. HaruHost runs Minecraft: Java Edition dedicated servers on your own Windows or Linux PC, home server or VPS: friends can join through the Tunnel without port forwarding (paid plans), you see who is playing and for how long, chat history is searchable, game chat flows to and from Discord and between your servers (paid plans) and mods install from Modrinth.
Can I host Minecraft: Java Edition servers on Linux?
Yes. Minecraft: Java Edition servers run on Windows and Linux, and you manage them from the desktop app or the web panel.
Do my friends need port forwarding to join?
No. On a VPS, friends join at its public address once your port range is open in the provider's firewall, if it has one. At home, the Tunnel (paid plans) lets them join through one of 14 regions without router changes. The server's Details tab shows what they need to join.
Can I import my existing Minecraft: Java Edition server?
Yes. Browse to its folder and HaruHost recognises the server and imports it with its saves and settings.
Can I see who is playing?
Yes. The Players page lists everyone who has joined, with playtime, sessions and last seen. Kick and ban players from the list. Paid plans show every player; the free plan shows one.
Does HaruHost support Minecraft: Java Edition mods?
Yes. Mods and modpacks install from Modrinth, and both can be added from Discord.
