Mindustry Server Hosting

Mindustry's headless server is a different experience from hosting inside the game. It keeps your map running while nobody is online, which matters on survival maps where a wave timer or a slow thorium build is part of the plan. From the panel console you can host a specific map, change the gamemode to survival, attack, PvP or sandbox, and promote admins without restarting the process.

Serpulo and Erekir maps both work, and moving between them is a console command rather than a reinstall. The task scheduler can restart the server between sessions, and automatic daily backups keep 10 rolling copies of your map and config folders on unmetered NVMe storage.

Custom content installs by upload. Drop msav map files into the maps folder and Java or JSON mods into the mods folder using the panel file manager or SFTP, then reload from the console. Unmetered NVMe storage means a large map rotation or a mod pack costs nothing extra, and the one-click version changer helps when a mod targets one specific Mindustry build.

Mindustry is light on memory next to 3D survival games, so the 2 GB plan at $5.00 with three cores already runs a friendly survival server. Step up to 3 GB if you host PvP nights or big community maps, and 6 GB if you keep several large maps loaded with mods and a steady stream of players joining. Every tier sits on the same Ryzen 9 hardware.
