Finding your instances

What is an instance?

An instance is a profile on your server. This will allow you to install multiple versions of Minecraft or a modpack on your server.


In the left sidebar on the panel there will be a section called Games & Software under that you should see Minecraft: Java Edition. If you click on Minecraft Java Edition it will expand a list of instances you have installed on your service.

note

You can run multiple instances at the same time, provided you have enough RAM to run them and disk space to install them. Minecraft does not share ports, each additional instance will require a new 'server port' in the "Settings" menu and can be connected to via your HOSTNAMEorIP:customportnumberhere - Eg: myserver.playat.ch:29974
