auto-mcs Hosting Live In 5 Minutes

auto-mcs hosting on xCloud gives you a self-hosted Minecraft server manager to create and run Java servers from a browser terminal, with no installers to manage yourself. Deploy auto-mcs 2.3.9 and xCloud runs the pinned official image behind HTTPS with a password-protected web terminal and one persistent volume. You then create a Paper, Purpur, Fabric or Forge server from the terminal prompt in a few minutes.

What is auto-mcs?

Self-hosted auto-mcs is a Minecraft server manager. Upstream says it lets you create a server in less than a minute, with a mod and plug-in manager integrated with Modrinth, back-up management, an access control menu for operators, bans and the whitelist, and Telepath for remote management. It supports Paper, Purpur, Fabric, Quilt, NeoForge, Forge, Spigot, CraftBukkit and Vanilla, and it is licensed GPL-3.0.

On xCloud the template runs the official macarooniman/auto-mcs 2.3.9 image, pinned by digest, behind a password-protected web terminal. Servers, configuration, backups, logs and uploads live on one auto_mcs_data volume. It supports Java Edition over TCP only, with one Minecraft server on the mapped port, and Java itself is downloaded inside the container on the first server you create.

From Sign-Up to a Live auto-mcs Server In Just 3 Easy Steps

Self-hosting a Minecraft server normally means picking a server type, installing Java, wiring up backups and opening ports before anyone can join. This is the same result without assembling any of it.

Step 01
Sign Up
Create your xCloud account and pick auto-mcs from the OneClick catalog. Optionally change the web terminal username — xCloud generates a 24-character password.
Step 02
We Deploy It For You
One click. We bring up the official auto-mcs 2.3.9 image pinned by immutable digest, mount the persistent data volume, and publish the web terminal over HTTPS alongside a dedicated Minecraft address.
Step 03
Create Your Server And Invite Players
Open your HTTPS auto-mcs URL, sign in at the browser prompt, run server create paper:latest My Server then server launch My Server, and share the Minecraft Address with your players.

Everything auto-mcs Does, On Your Own Server

auto-mcs runs in full here — its own server creation, mod management and access control, on infrastructure you control.

One-Command Server Creation
Create a Minecraft Java server with one command and launch it with another — no manual jar downloads or config wiring.
Every Major Server Type
Paper, Purpur, Fabric, Quilt, NeoForge, Forge, Spigot, CraftBukkit and Vanilla — auto-mcs installs and updates them for you.
Backups, Whitelist And Bans
Backup management and a whitelist, ops and ban manager built into auto-mcs itself.
Remote Desktop Management
Pair the auto-mcs desktop app over the Telepath API to manage mods, plug-ins, worlds and scripts remotely.
A Dedicated Minecraft Address
Players connect straight to the Minecraft Address shown in your installation credentials.
Your Worlds, Your Server
Servers, worlds, configuration and backups are stored on a persistent volume and survive an xCloud restart.

What You Can Do With auto-mcs

Minecraft server manager for friends
A group of friends opens the web terminal, creates a Paper server with one command, launches it and shares the address, without installing Java or server files on a home computer.
Run a modded or plug-in server
An admin picks Fabric, Forge, Purpur or another supported type and manages mods and plug-ins with the Modrinth-backed manager, using the desktop app over Telepath to upload files.
Control who can join
A server owner manages operators, bans and the whitelist from the access control menu, and turns the whitelist on in server settings because the Minecraft port is open to anyone who can reach it.
Manage servers from the desktop app
An operator pairs the auto-mcs desktop app with the container's Telepath port and manages the server remotely, since mods, worlds and scripts cannot be uploaded through the browser.

auto-mcs vs Alternatives

Hosted Minecraft server panels: Choose auto-mcs on your own Cloud VPS instead of hosted Minecraft server panels when you want worlds, mods and backups on a server you control, with a web terminal protected by your own username and password.
Pterodactyl: In an auto-mcs vs Pterodactyl comparison, Pterodactyl is a multi-game control panel with its own OneClick page. auto-mcs is the Minecraft-specific manager, creating Java servers with a single command in a terminal.
Crafty Controller: Crafty Controller is another self-hosted Minecraft server manager. This page makes no feature comparison; auto-mcs's pitch is quick server creation, Modrinth mod management and remote Telepath management.
Minecraft server image: The Minecraft OneClick app runs a single server directly. auto-mcs instead manages Java Edition servers of several distributions from a terminal, though only one can use the mapped port at a time.

Hear what people are saying about us

See why agencies, developers, startups, and growing businesses choose xCloud to power their projects.

xCloud works really well, I am surprised by its performance being this the release version, I have tried many paid platforms such as runcloud, cloudpages or serveravatar, as well as free platforms such as CyberPanel, CloudPanel or Hestia Control Panel and direct competitors such as SpinupWP and FlyWP. Of all those that I have tried, the platform that works best for WordPress is SpinupWP and I believe that xCloud can reach and surpass that development, its roadmap is promising. Congratulations to the xCloud team, I hope they become the leading platform in the segment, it has all the potential to achieve it!

Brian Geovanny

I've been with runcloud for the last 3 years. However, after trying xcloud for the last month, I'm switching over. They are on a roll with their setup.

Kevin Pineda

I'm moving my servers to xCloud, a cloud control panel by M Asif Rahman and the WPDeveloper team. Their roadmap looks interesting and no, there are no team mates nor API limits with xCloud! #xCloud #wordpress #hosting

How Cloud Nine Web Elevated Client Experience While Streamlining Hosting Operations using xCloud

Ed Ellingham

xCloud is like having an expert server team on call — without the big agency costs. It's given me back my time and given my clients peace of mind. Highly recommended for freelancers and small teams who want reliable performance and security.

Dumitru Butucel

xCloud isn't just a solution. It's like one of that friend who got your back when you screw things up pretty bad.

Waqar Ahmed

Trust me when I say, once people explore the potential of xCloud they gonna switch from other panels, just keep delivering the best tech, lots of love for the team 😍😍

Rahul Singh

So far my experience has been smooth like silk. I didn't imagine that configuring and managing a VPS would be so easy. As of today, I have deployed 8 sites. The support is good, and they treat users with respect, even if they ask stupid questions (myself included). For the future, I hope for greater flexibility in scheduled backups and more comprehensive and consistent documentation. I'm sure that within a few months, xCloud will become the leader in its segment. This community is amazing, and the Staff here is super helpful.

Massimo Villa

Came from cloudways then to runcloud then to xcloud. Looks like I'm staying here.

Gerson El

I've recently taken all of my Vultr-hosted sites and gotten rid of cPanel for them to substitute it with xCloud. I have to say, I'm really impressed with xCloud so far! The interface is definitely the standout feature for me.

Tony Lewis

I came from Cloudways and won't go back. Highly impressed with xCloud. Glad I gave them a chance.

Jared McDowell

I like xCloud better than RunCloud, but one thing I'll point out is that some years ago RunCloud was hungry for business, the support was outstanding, and the community was active and helped each other. Maybe it was sold, there was a change in management, or they stopped being hungry, but the quality of the RunCloud offering declined and it hasn't been moving forward quickly. My point is that currently the xCloud team has the edge and it is theirs to keep or lose

How Kevin Heinrichs Cut Hosting Costs by 84% While Running WooCommerce & Node.js Sites Efficiently

Kevin Heinrichs

I had 150 sites on cloudways and am in the process of moving them to xcloud. Much faster and better priced.

Dan Spinoza

Dear xCloud Team, I have been using xCloud for some time now and am genuinely impressed with its capabilities and the flexibility it offers by allowing users to bring their own VPS for management. It's a fantastic service, and my experience so far has been very positive. Successful migrated 5 sites on a single server. Xcloud migration tool worked great. There were few hiccups with security plugin like MalCare but disabling the plugin prior to migration worked just fine.

Rahil Maknojia

Came from runcloud. Tried xcloud and never came back.

Frequently Asked Questions

Feel free to contact us with any questions or concerns you may have.

Can I run auto-mcs with Docker?

Yes, and this template does it for you: the official macarooniman/auto-mcs 2.3.9 image, pinned by digest, with a password-protected web terminal over HTTPS, a Telepath port and a Minecraft port. It is auto-mcs Docker hosting without writing a compose file or installing Java.

How much RAM does an auto-mcs cloud server need?

Reserve 3072 MB of RAM, 1 CPU core and 20 GB of disk at minimum; a single Paper server used about 2.4 GB in QA. The 6 GB Cloud VPS sold here fits an auto-mcs cloud server, while modded servers are given extra heap and need more.

Which Minecraft server types does auto-mcs support?

Upstream lists Paper, Purpur, Fabric, Quilt, NeoForge, Forge, Spigot, CraftBukkit and Vanilla, and says it manages and updates them. You create one from the terminal, for example with server create paper:latest, then launch it by name.

Does auto-mcs support Bedrock Edition?

No. The container cannot carry UDP traffic, so Bedrock Edition and Geyser are not supported. This template runs Java Edition servers over TCP, and only one Minecraft server can use the mapped port at a time, so keep the server port at 25565 inside auto-mcs.

How do I upload mods to auto-mcs?

Not through the browser. Mods, plug-ins, worlds and scripts cannot be uploaded to the web terminal. Install the auto-mcs desktop app, run telepath pair in the terminal, then connect with the pairing code and the Telepath address shown in your credentials.

Is the auto-mcs web terminal secure?

It is protected by the username and password you set, and the launcher refuses empty or well-known credentials. But anyone with that password can create, run and delete every server, so keep it private. The Minecraft port itself is open, so enable the whitelist.

How do I back up auto-mcs?

Take a backup of the auto_mcs_data volume, which holds servers, configuration, backups, logs, downloads and uploads. Java is installed in the container, not the volume, and is downloaded again if the container is recreated, which needs outbound internet access.

Backups in xCloud

How do I update auto-mcs?

By adopting a newer template version when one is published. Version 2.3.9 is pinned by digest and catalogue changes never reach an existing site. Back up auto_mcs_data first and read upstream's notes; never edit the image tag or digest yourself. Servers stay stopped after any redeploy.

Do my Minecraft servers restart automatically?

No. auto-mcs starts when the web terminal is first opened, so after a restart or redeploy Telepath and your servers stay stopped until you open the terminal and run server launch with the server name. Plan for that before announcing downtime.

Can I cancel anytime?

Yes. There is no lock-in — cancel any time. Hosting is billed monthly and charged for what you actually use, so when you delete the server the unused balance is refunded to your account, less up to 10% in payment-processing fees.
