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.
    • Al-Andalusian@lemmygrad.mlOP

      The VPS is a ‘Spot’ instance provided by Tencent Cloud. You can select the ‘Spot instances’ option on the instance creation screen.

      Not sure if that’s what you were asking for 😅

        Yup, that was the question. Interesting, I wonder if minecraft can handle the shutdown properly if it gets released.
