Question 1

Which Minecraft editions do you support — Java or Bedrock?

Accepted Answer

We support both Java Edition and Bedrock Edition. If you want to host cross-play between platforms, you can also run a Java server with the Geyser plugin installed, which lets Bedrock players connect seamlessly.

Question 2

Which Minecraft versions can I run?

Accepted Answer

You can run any version from legacy releases right up to the latest snapshot. Our control panel lets you switch versions at any time — just be sure to back up your world first if you're upgrading, since chunk formats can change.

Question 3

Can I install a modpack like ATM10 or RLCraft?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. Our one-click modpack installer supports CurseForge, Modrinth, Technic, Feed the Beast, and ATLauncher. Pick your pack from the control panel, hit install, and your server restarts with it ready to go — no FTP or manual file work needed.

Question 4

What server software can I run — Spigot, Paper, Fabric, Forge?

Accepted Answer

All of the above. You can choose your server JAR from the control panel, including Vanilla, Spigot, Paper, Purpur, Fabric, Forge, and NeoForge. Switching is straightforward, though we always recommend backing up your world before changing software type.

Question 5

Can I upload my existing Minecraft world to your server?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You can upload your existing world folder directly through the file manager in the control panel, or via SFTP. Once uploaded, update the level-name in your server.properties to point at your world and restart — you pick up right where you left off.

Question 6

How much RAM do I need for a modded Minecraft server?

Accepted Answer

A small vanilla server runs fine on 2–4 GB, but heavier modpacks like All The Mods or Enigmatica typically want 6–10 GB to stay stable under load. If you're unsure, start with a mid-range plan and upgrade any time from the Client Area — no data loss, no downtime.

Question 7

Is this 24/7 Minecraft server hosting?

Accepted Answer

Yes — your server stays online 24/7, even when you're not playing. Friends can jump in and keep building any time. Unlike hosting locally or using free services that sleep when idle, a dedicated server from 3LifeHosting is always live and accepting connections.

Question 8

How many players can I have on my server?

Accepted Answer

We don't believe in limiting the number of players on your game server. Whether it be you and a friend, or 50+ members of your community, you have complete control over the player slot limit — after all, it's your game server!

Question 9

Can I get my money back if I don't like my server?

Accepted Answer

You bet. Submit a ticket on our support page requesting a refund within the first 72 hours of purchase and we will issue a refund.
