📌 Purchasing a Minecraft Server Hosting Plan
Hostinger offers three plans for you to choose from, depending on how many players you expect to host or how much you wish to modify your server. However, you don’t have to settle right away. If you are just starting out, pick up our smallest plan and scale up from there.

📌 hPanel and Accessing Game Panel
hPanel is where you can tweak your server settings. Meanwhile, Game Panel is a one-stop server management panel for all things Minecraft.

📌 Starting a New Server
Minecraft Java Edition is arguably the most popular and streamlined version. It is excellent if you and your friends use your personal computers to play the game. However, you can select Minecraft Bedrock Edition if you expect people to play on several different platforms.

📌 Managing Server Settings
Game Panel lets you quickly tweak your Minecraft server settings to your liking. Here you’ll find tools for the user and role management or view active sessions to see who is currently playing.

📌 Allocating More RAM to the Server
By default, the system allocates 1 GB of RAM to the server. Unfortunately, you can’t set up more memory than your plan provides, and we recommend saving at least half a gigabyte to prevent server crashes or other problems.

📌 Making an OP User
Managing a large server alone is challenging if you have a hefty server. If you have a friend or player you trust, you can make them an OP.

📌 Backing Up Server Files
It is a good idea to back up your server files occasionally. You can also set scheduled backups for the system to save your files routinely.

📌 Installing Mods
If you are tired of messing around with the game's Vanilla version, you can install some mods. You’ll need to install Forge, a modding API created to quickly and easily implement mods to the game.

📌 Installing Plugins
Minecraft plugins add additional functionality to your server, and there is a lot of great stuff to choose from.

📌 Uploading a Custom World File
You can import your old world to the new server just as quickly. Just remember to rename your newly updated save the file to the original name to load the file successfully.

📌 Changing Server Icon and Message of the Day (MOTD)
You should always make your Minecraft server look sleek and inviting.

📌 Updating the Server
Server updates are essential as they bring new content and bug fixes to the game, and the Game Panel allows you to do that effortlessly.

📌 Changing the Java Version
Sometimes you’ll need to switch to a different Java version, for example, if a specific plugin asks for it.
