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.
(Jokes aside with the specs of the server I think it should be fine to throw some mods at it… 🤔)
I hope it gets updated to 1.19.2
What’s a good download link for 🏴☠️ Minecraft? Been a minute since I’ve played
I think https://github.com/UltimMC/Launcher
Although I’m not very versed in pirated minecraft.

Might get better answers if you go ask the pirates at lemmy’s pirate community
I haven’t played Minecraft since uhhhhh they added horses but if everyone doesn’t mind being patient with someone who hasn’t played in almost exactly a decade I might try it out later
For me it says string to big, 24 characters. How do I fix this?
edit: nvm figured it out.

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 glad you like it! 😊
I don’t play minecraft, but this is still pretty cool. Good work my friend.
what if you make a bot to reactivate it every time they deactivate it
Good idea! Though I don’t know how to do that 😔
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.
I’m pretty sure you can get a free server from oracle with like 20gb ram
I’ll try playing tonight.
I’m having issues finding that kind of VM, where is it listed under? :)
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.
Why does the server change our skins? Can we use our own?
That’s because it has online mode off, which is necessary for letting people without paid Minecraft play in the server.
Ohh I see. I’ll have to modify my resource pack then.
drat, i’m late, looks like the server is dead
New ip is 49.51.143.157
Is MineTest an option? https://www.minetest.net/ open source, not owned by Microsoft
I’m gonna come hang out is this info still the same?
