The LanWarp app: The LanWarp app with a server online and three players

Minecraft Server, Saturday survival, Free server with lanwarp.com, 3/10

From download to playing in about 2 minutes

Measured on a clean Windows PC, from the download to the first player joining.

  1. The sign-in screen of the LanWarp app

    1Sign in

    Email code, Discord or Google. No password to remember.

  2. Creating a server in the LanWarp app: server type, version and memory

    2Create the server

    Paper or Vanilla, the latest version and the right memory are already picked. Java downloads by itself.

  3. 3Share the address

    Players add it in Multiplayer, like any other server.

Your router stays as it is

Players connect to a LanWarp relay. Your PC opens the connection to the relay, so there is nothing to open on your router.

LanWarp relayEurope West
Your PCLanWarp app and server
How a player reaches your server: Player (Minecraft: Java Edition) → LanWarp relay (Europe West) ← Your PC (LanWarp app and server, outgoing connection)
  • Your home IP stays private

    Players only see the address of the relay.

  • Your server isn’t exposed

    The Minecraft server on your PC only accepts connections from your own computer.

  • Encryption stays between player and server

    The relay reads only the address the player typed. Minecraft’s encryption and the Microsoft login are untouched.

Relays in Europe, North America and Oceania

When you create a server, the app measures the relays from your PC and picks the fastest one.

Questions

All questions →

What do players need?

Minecraft: Java Edition and the server address. They add it in Multiplayer, like any other server.

Does the server run when my PC is off?

No. The server runs on your PC, so it is online while your PC is on and the server is started.

Can Bedrock Edition players join?

Not yet. We’re working on it: cross-play with Bedrock Edition will arrive in a coming update.

Is the Free plan really free?

Yes. 1 server and up to 10 players at once, with no time limit.

Start your server for free

For Windows 10 and 11. Players only need Minecraft: Java Edition.

Download for Windows

Versions for Mac and Linux, and cross-play with Bedrock Edition, are coming in future updates.
