How do I install mods on my Necesse server?

Upload the mod jar files into the server's mods folder using the file manager or SFTP, restart from the live console, then check the log output. Every player needs the same mods and versions installed locally. Because storage is unmetered NVMe, the size of your mod list never affects the price you pay.

Can I move a Necesse world I started in single-player?

Existing worlds transfer cleanly. Stop the server, upload your existing world folder over SFTP or through the file manager, then set that world name in the server configuration and start it again. Characters, settlements and explored islands all come with it. Automatic daily backups begin keeping 10 rolling copies once the world is live.

How many players can join a Necesse server?

We do not charge per slot, so the limit is whatever you set in the server configuration. Small co-op groups of two to six are the norm, but larger communities work well if you give them memory to match. Raising the slot count is a config edit and a restart, not a plan change.

Does the world keep running when everyone leaves?

That depends on your configuration. Necesse can pause when the server is empty, which saves CPU, or keep simulating so settlements carry on producing. Both options live in the server config file you can edit in the panel. Either way the server stays online against a 99.9% monthly uptime target.

Built for Necesse

Necesse's load comes from settlement simulation and world ticks rather than graphics, so a modest plan on Ryzen 9 cores with NVMe storage goes a long way.

About Necesse hosting

Necesse Co-op Worlds And Settlements

Necesse worlds are built from islands you explore, clear and settle, and much of that progress happens in the background. A dedicated server keeps settlers working, crops growing and your mine intact while nobody is online, instead of pausing whenever the host closes the game. Your friends get one address to connect to and one world that always reflects the group's progress.

Because Necesse is a 2D sandbox, the hardware bill stays small. The 2 GB plan at $5.00 a month already includes three cores, unmetered NVMe storage, unlimited player slots and DDoS protection, which is enough for most co-op groups. Automatic daily backups keep 10 rolling copies of the world folder.

Installing Necesse Mods On A Server

Necesse mods are jar files, and the server needs the same set your players load. Upload them into the mods folder with the panel file manager or over SFTP, then restart from the console and read the log to confirm each one initialized. Unmetered NVMe storage means a long mod list costs nothing extra, and the one-click version changer helps when a mod targets an older Necesse build.

Sizing And Managing Your World

Start on 2 GB for a handful of friends. Move up to 3 GB at $7.50 once you are running mods or several busy settlements, and 6 GB if the world is public with many explored islands and players spread across them. The task scheduler handles restarts, subusers let a friend administer the server, and 10 rolling daily backups cover the day a boss wrecks your base.

Necesse hosting FAQ

Still unsure? Ask our team.

Most co-op groups are fine on the 2 GB plan at $5.00 a month, which includes three cores. Add headroom with 3 GB at $7.50 if you run mods or maintain several large settlements, and consider 6 GB for a public world with many explored islands. RAM is priced flat at $2.50 per GB.
