Minecraft server: getting started

Updated 02-10-2026

Your Minecraft server runs on our node and you manage it in the EpicHost customer panel: Panel → Servers → server name. This guide takes you from the purchase to your first time in the game.

After the purchase

The server installs itself, usually within a minute or two. You can follow it in the Console tab. When the installation is done, you get an e-mail (or a Discord message, if you chose that in Your profile → Notifications).

Starting the server

  1. Open the Console and click Start.
  2. On the first start Minecraft requires accepting Mojang's licence (EULA). The panel shows an "Accept the Minecraft EULA" window: once you accept, it saves your consent in eula.txt and starts the server.
  3. When the console shows Done (…)! For help, type "help", the server is ready.

Type commands in the field below the console, without a slash, e.g. op YourNick or whitelist add YourNick.

How to connect

You find the server's address at the top of the server page and in Server settings → Addresses. There you can also set your own subdomain, e.g. myserver.epsrv.pl, so players do not need to remember the port number.

Game version and engine

In Add-ons → Engine you choose the server engine (Vanilla, Paper, Purpur, Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and more) and the game version. Changing the engine keeps the world and files, but make a copy in Backups before a big change.

The most important settings

In Server settings → Server you set the icon, MOTD, player count, game mode, difficulty and view distance. The full list of server.properties options, each with a description, is in the Advanced tab. Some changes apply only after a restart.

When something does not work

  • The server stops right after starting: look at the Event log. When a server crashes, the panel saves the console from that moment and suggests the cause (e.g. EULA not accepted, wrong Java version, not enough RAM).
  • Players cannot join: check that the server is running and that they use the right address with the port.
  • Still not sure what is going on: open a ticket in Help. Choose the server it is about and we will answer faster.
