I was looking at VPS providers in China and found that Tencent Cloud gives the option to rent a server WAY cheaper than usual with the condition that they can take it away (deactivate it) if they need the resources you are occupying.
I thought that it could be used for a fairly decent and cheap Minecraft server, so here I am.
⚠️ IMPORTANT ⚠️
When joining the server your public IP will appear on the server’s console (visible to me)! If you are not comfortable with that, don’t worry, it’s understandable.
Note:
Type ‘/register [PASSWORD]’ to register when in-game. Don’t use a password you also use somewhere else, I’m unsure how safe the plugin is.
IP: 43.131.32.28
It’s Vanilla 1.19.4
Of course, online-mode is off! 🏴☠️
I installed some quality of life plugins:
- NexAuth: A login plugin, so people don’t just enter the server with your username and empty your inventory into lava.
- ImageMap: Just type /im [image url from the internet] and you will receive a map with the image on it. Put it on an item frame!
Server info:
- Location is Frankfurt.
- Provider is Tencent Cloud.
- 2 Cores 4 GB Ram.
I know you said it’s vanilla, but this mod may make you reconsider.
I played a bit today with @Jonathan12345 and moved into one of the free apartments. It was fun playing Minecraft again after a few years and I’ll probably be playing more in the upcoming days as well.
I’m gonna come hang out is this info still the same?
How much are you paying per month for 2CPU/4GB RAM?
According to my calculations, around 7.50$ a month, which afaik is pretty good for the specs.
What’s a good download link for 🏴☠️ Minecraft? Been a minute since I’ve played
Personally I recommend Prism Launcher. You can download it from the official website and then easily crack it: Copy the contents of this text into notepad, save it as “accounts.json” and place the file into the “%appdata%\PrismLauncher” directory on your pc.
The launcher works like a charm, and has convenient support for multiple instances and installing mods/packs from Curseforge, Modrinth, FTB, etc.
