How to Set Up a Mindustry Server

Mindustry··2 min read

Mindustry is a free, open-source tower-defence factory game of resource conveyors and base defence. A dedicated server is tiny to run and great for co-op or PvP lobbies. This step-by-step guide shows you how to set up a Mindustry server in minutes — no manual install, no command line.

What you need

  • A Mindustry plan with around 1–2 GB of RAM — Mindustry is a Light-class game.
  • Support for server commands and mods, included on every GGameHost Mindustry plan.
  • Your friends or community to play with (up to 32+ slots).

Step 1 — Choose your plan

Pick a plan sized for your Mindustry community. We recommend about 1–2 GB of RAM; start smaller and upgrade in one click as you add players or mods. Mindustry plans start at $3.99/mo.

Step 2 — Deploy your server

Check out and your Mindustry server provisions automatically in under 60 seconds, with console access right away — no manual install, no command line.

Step 3 — Connect & invite players

Once your Mindustry server is online, share its address (IP and port) with your friends so they can join. Start, stop and restart it anytime from the control panel.

Step 4 — Install mods & configure

Your Mindustry server supports Open-source, Mods, Maps, FTP/SFTP. Install server commands and mods straight from the one-click installer, or upload your own from the control panel — then tweak settings in the visual config editor.

Step 5 — Keep it running smoothly

Enable scheduled automatic backups, set restart timers, and monitor CPU, RAM and player counts from the dashboard. Always-on DDoS protection and 24/7 support keep your Mindustry server stable.
