Create and Start a New Server through your Server Dashboard

With the Server Dashboard, you can create multiple game servers and switch between them at any time. Larger plans will allow you to run more than one server at the same time. Whether you are creating your first game server, or any number, these instructions should tell you everything you need to know to get started.

If you have never logged into Command Center before, follow the Minecraft Server Information email to create a password. Your password must contain at least a letter, number, and symbol. It must also be 8 characters or longer. If you're already logged in, click the Servers link in the top bar.

1. Login to your Dashboard.
2. On the middle bar, click ⨁ Add Server.
3. Select your game from the list, or you can use the Search box on the top left to search for a specific game or modpack.
4. After creating the server, it may take several seconds to minutes to install depending on the game.
5. When the server is finished installing, press the Start button in your server list.
6. Click on the name of the server and check the console for the server to start up. Your server will be up once the text stops scrolling. On some larger modpacks, the text scrolling may pause at times as mods load.
7. Connect to your server friendly address or IP:Port. The friendly address may take around 5-20 minutes to work.
