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.
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.
