Host real Minecraft
servers from your phone
Mineora runs a real Minecraft server on your Android. No PC, no port forwarding, free 24/7 forever. Friends join from anywhere.
Everything you need to host Minecraft from your phone
Mineora is a free Minecraft server host for Android. It runs real Java and Bedrock server software on your phone, gives each server a public address, and lets friends join from anywhere, no PC or hosting subscription needed.
Host a real Minecraft server on Android
Mineora runs the same server software a PC does, directly on your phone. Pick Paper, Fabric, or Vanilla for Java edition and start a real Minecraft server in a couple of taps. A full Java 25 runtime is bundled in the app, so there is nothing to install and no PC required.
Bedrock servers with PowerNukkitX
Play on iPhone, Xbox, Switch, or the Bedrock mobile app? Mineora hosts native Bedrock Minecraft servers on your phone using PowerNukkitX, so pocket-edition friends can join a world you host from Android.
Java and Bedrock crossplay on one world
Run a single crossplay Minecraft server where Java and Bedrock players share the same world. Geyser and Floodgate are added and configured automatically, so Bedrock players join a Paper server with no separate account setup.
A free public address, no port forwarding
Every server gets a free public address through a playit.gg tunnel. No port forwarding, no router settings, no static IP. Share the address and friends connect from anywhere on the internet, not just your Wi-Fi.
One-tap plugins and mods
Install plugins and mods straight from Modrinth inside the app, or import your own .jar. Browse and add whole modpacks (.mrpack) for Fabric and NeoForge, from Cobblemon to Create, with dependencies resolved for you.
Runs 24/7 in the background
Your server keeps running with the screen off. Manage it from a live console with whitelist, operator (OP), ban and kick controls, import existing worlds, and back up your world to a zip whenever you want.
Why Mineora over other phone hosting apps
Most Minecraft hosting apps for Android put the connection behind a paywall or ads, and give you an address that expires. Mineora is genuinely free to host, with an address that keeps working.
Free 24/7, forever
No hourly limits and no subscription. Your server and its public address stay available around the clock, for as long as you want to run them.
No ads to keep your tunnel alive
Some phone-hosting apps hand you a temporary address that expires after a couple of hours, or make you watch an ad to extend it. Mineora never gates your connection behind ads.
An address we work to keep stable
Your public address comes from a playit.gg tunnel tied to your own account, and we do our best to keep it the same so you rarely have to update it. Save it in Minecraft and reconnect without hunting for a new IP most of the time.
Frequently asked questions
- Does this host a Minecraft server on your phone?
- Yes. Mineora runs real Minecraft server software (Paper, Fabric, Vanilla, and PowerNukkitX for Bedrock) directly on your Android phone using a bundled Java runtime. It is the same server jar a PC would run.
- Does Mineora support Bedrock and crossplay?
- Yes. You can host a Java server, a Bedrock server, or a single crossplay server where Java and Bedrock players join the same world. Crossplay uses Geyser and Floodgate, set up automatically.
- Do I need to port forward to join?
- No. No port forwarding, no router settings, nothing to set up. Mineora gives every server a free public address (through playit.gg), and you just share that address so friends can join from anywhere.
- Is Mineora free?
- Yes. Every hosting feature is free. There is one optional in-app purchase that removes ads.
- What devices does it work on?
- Android 8.0 and newer, on arm64 (64-bit) phones and tablets.
- Can I add plugins and mods?
- Yes. Paper and Fabric servers have an in-app Modrinth browser to install plugins and mods with one tap, and you can also upload your own .jar files. You can even install full modpacks (.mrpack) for Fabric and NeoForge, with dependencies resolved automatically.
- Does the server address expire, or do I have to watch ads to keep it?
- No. Unlike hosting apps that give you a temporary address that expires after a couple of hours or make you watch an ad to extend it, Mineora runs free 24/7. Your public address comes from your own playit.gg tunnel and stays stable, so you can save it in Minecraft and reconnect without hunting for a new IP.
- Do I need a PC to host a Minecraft server?
- No. Mineora runs the entire server on your Android phone using a bundled Java runtime. There is no PC, no dedicated hosting service, and no monthly server bill. Your phone is the server.
- Can the server keep running when I close the app or lock my phone?
- Yes. The server runs as a background service and keeps hosting with the screen off. For 24/7 uptime, exempt Mineora from battery optimization when the app prompts you, so Android does not suspend it.
- Which server software can I run?
- For Java edition: Paper, Fabric, Vanilla, and NeoForge. For Bedrock edition: PowerNukkitX. Crossplay servers use Paper with Geyser and Floodgate so Java and Bedrock players share one world.
- Is hosting a Minecraft server on my phone safe?
- Mineora only opens a single tunnel to your Minecraft server port, not your whole device, and every plugin and mod download is checksum-verified before it runs. It is not a VPN or proxy and cannot expose anything else on your phone.
- How do my friends join the server?
- Share the public address Mineora gives you. Java players add it under Multiplayer, Add Server. Bedrock players add it as an external server with the shown port. That is the only setup, no accounts on your friends’ side.
