Back up your worlds off your PC and host your modpacks
Right now your world and its backups probably sit on the same drive. Cloud Storage keeps a copy somewhere else. It also hosts your modpacks so players install them with one click and your server resource pack so players get it as they join. One allowance covers all of it, from £1.49 a month.
What a local backup can't do
The app already backs your world up on your own PC for free and that isn't changing. Cloud Storage covers the two jobs a local backup can't.
Survive the drive dying
The app backs your world up when the server stops, which is fine until the drive holding the world and the backup is the thing that fails. Then both go at once. A copy somewhere else is the only one that comes through that.
It helps with slower problems too. A broken chunk or a mod that ate someone's base often isn't spotted for days. With a few older copies kept you can go back to before it happened rather than to yesterday.
Get a modpack to your players
Handing out a pack by hand means a zip, a set of instructions and then a week of answering the same three questions. A hosted pack is one link and your players get the right loader and versions without choosing anything.
When you rebuild the pack the same link serves the new version, so nobody has to be chased into downloading it again.
Using it
Getting a plan
Pick one on your account page. It's a monthly subscription and you cancel from the same place, the cancel link on the Cloud Storage tab. If you already have Plus, a Starter relay or a Cloud Hosting plan you've got some included, so check before you buy anything.
Uploading
Worlds go up from the Backups tab on any server, either on their own or alongside the local backup. That works in the Windows app and in the web dashboard, so a Linux box backs up the same way. Modpacks go up from the Modpack Builder when you pick the hosted option and you get a link to hand out at the end.
Getting a world back
You can overwrite the server it came from, or bring it back as a brand new server so you can check it before touching the one people are playing on.
Seeing what you've stored
The Storage screen in the app lists everything you've stored and how much space each one takes. You can rename, download or remove any of it. Your account page shows the same from any browser, so you can tidy up without being at your PC.
Plans
Enough for several backups of a normal world, or a good few hosted modpacks.
Room for a world with years of history in it, with modpacks alongside.
For very big worlds, or keeping backups of several servers in one place.
The details
Billing
It's a monthly subscription, no contract, cancel any time from your account page and it stops at the end of the month. Prices are in GBP. If you're outside the UK you'll see and pay in your local currency at checkout.
You might already have some
Plus comes with 16GB. A bigger plan replaces it rather than adding to it, so a Plus subscriber pays the difference: 64GB in total for £1.99 a month, or 256GB in total for £4.99. Relay Starter includes 1GB, every Cloud Hosting plan includes 4GB and you can add 4GB to a Starter relay for 99p a month at checkout. If that covers what you need then there's nothing to buy here and the app shows what you've got either way.
What people ask first
What counts towards my allowance?
World backups, hosted modpacks and server resource packs share one pool. There aren't separate limits for each, so you can spend all of it on worlds, all of it on packs, or split it however you like.
Do I need this to back up at all?
No. Local backups are free and always have been. The app makes one automatically when a server stops and you can restore from it without paying anything. This is for having a copy that isn't on the same PC and for handing modpacks out.
Are my world backups private?
Yes. World backups are private and can only be downloaded from your own account. Hosted modpacks and server resource packs work differently on purpose, they get a public link, because the whole point is that your players can fetch them without needing an account.
What happens to my files if I cancel?
You get seven days to download anything you want to keep. After that, files are removed oldest first to bring you back under whatever allowance you're left with. Cancelling doesn't wipe anything instantly and you'll get an email before it happens.
Can I get my worlds back out?
Any time. Restore straight into the app, or download the zip from the Storage screen or your account page. It's a normal world folder in a zip, nothing proprietary, so it still works if you ever stop using our app.
Where is it actually stored?
Cloudflare R2. World backups and modpacks live in separate buckets and everything is filed under a per-account key so nothing of yours is reachable from anyone else's account.
My world is bigger than 256GB
The 256GB plan fits worlds that have been running for years, though a really huge one only fits a couple of copies of itself. If yours is past that, message us and we'll sort something out.
You set it up from the Cloud Storage tab on your account page. Everything else we sell is on the pricing page.
