Minetest (now Luanti) is a free, open-source voxel engine with a huge library of Lua mods and game modes. It's light on resources, so a dedicated server is cheap to run and endlessly customisable. This step-by-step guide shows you how to set up a Minetest / Luanti server in minutes — no manual install, no command line.
Pick a plan sized for your Minetest / Luanti community. We recommend about 1–3 GB of RAM; start smaller and upgrade in one click as you add players or mods. Minetest / Luanti plans start at $3.99/mo.
Check out and your Minetest / Luanti server provisions automatically in under 60 seconds, with console access right away — no manual install, no command line.
Once your Minetest / Luanti 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.
Your Minetest / Luanti server supports Lua mods, Mod packs, Config, FTP/SFTP. Install Luanti with Lua mods straight from the one-click installer, or upload your own from the control panel — then tweak settings in the visual config editor.
