Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers to common questions

Is MC Server Manager free?

The Lite version is completely free and includes most features. Standard is £1.99 once. It removes the session limit and the server and RAM caps, and adds the remote web dashboard, scheduled restarts, Discord webhooks, automatic backups and proxy networks. You don't have to buy it separately either, any relay subscription from £1.50 a month includes it while it runs.

Does MC Server Manager work on Windows?

Yes. MC Server Manager is built exclusively for Windows 10 and Windows 11. It's a native Windows desktop app, no command line, no Linux, no Docker required. Available on the Microsoft Store and as a direct download.

Is MC Server Manager only for Windows?

The desktop app is Windows-only. However, the remote web dashboard works in any browser on any device, so you can monitor and manage your servers from a phone, tablet, or another computer once the app is running on your Windows machine.

What's the session time limit on Lite?

Lite runs servers in sessions of up to 6 hours, then waits 2 hours before the next one. Standard has no session limits, your servers can run 24/7. A few features are Standard only: the remote web dashboard, scheduled restarts, Discord webhooks, automatic backups on stop, and proxy networks.

Can I run multiple servers at the same time?

Yes. Lite supports up to 3 simultaneous servers. Standard has no server limit. The app automatically detects port conflicts to prevent issues.

Do I need to install Java separately?

No. The app automatically detects installed Java versions and offers to download the correct one if it's missing, always the right version for your Minecraft release.

Can friends connect from outside my network?

Yes. The app auto-forwards your port via UPnP so friends can join without touching your router. For hiding your home IP, Relay Pro routes traffic through a protected server so players never see your address. You can also manually port forward if needed.

What Minecraft server types are supported?

MC Server Manager supports Java Edition (Vanilla, Paper, Spigot, Forge, Fabric, NeoForge), Bedrock Edition, and proxy networks (Velocity and BungeeCord). Every major server type in one app.

Does the app collect my data?

The desktop app itself runs entirely on your machine. We only collect data when you choose to use online features (account, billing, Relay Pro). See our Privacy Policy for the full breakdown.
