FAQ

Quick answers

Is free actually free?

Yes. Campfire is a free tier: one Minecraft Java server, no credit card. Village (Budget) and Kingdom (Premium) add paid RAM for bigger friend groups and modded worlds.

Are you really the cheapest?

Budget is €0.85/GB RAM/month. Village 4GB is €3.40/mo. That is below the Europe hosts we checked. Premium is €1.90/GB. Paying every 3 months takes another 10% off: Village 4GB is then €3.06/mo.

How do friends join?

When the server is provisioned, friends join name.play.chunkly.net (Minecraft Java, hostname only). Add it in Minecraft → Multiplayer → Add Server. Do not add :25565.

Can I use mods or plugins?

When the server is provisioned, they join name.play.chunkly.net (Minecraft Java, hostname only). Do not add :25565.

Can I cancel anytime?

Yes. Paid plans are monthly EUR subscriptions. Cancel anytime. One subscription covers one server.

Is Chunkly the Chunky mod?

No. Chunkly is Europe Minecraft hosting for Java and Bedrock, with NVMe and DDoS mitigation. Campfire is one Vanilla Java server. Village and Kingdom include dedicated Bedrock, and Paper or Purpur on those plans can turn on Bedrock crossplay. It is not the Chunky world-pregenerator mod.
