Minecraft

Run your own Minecraft server on the Unraid box you already have. Manage it from a browser, back up your worlds on a schedule, and decide exactly who gets in.

4 Reasons to Run Minecraft on Unraid

Manage It All From Your Browser

Install Crafty from Community Apps and run one or several Minecraft servers from a single web dashboard. Start and stop servers, set them to auto-start, check logs and metrics, and update versions in one place.

Your World, Your Rules

Whitelist who can join, give operator powers only to players you trust, and kick or ban with a reason. Handy for a family server, where "bedtime" works as a kick reason.

Backups on Autopilot

Schedule daily world backups, keep as many as you want, and restore or download any of them in a couple of clicks. Take one before every update so hours of building stay safe on hardware you own.

Play With Friends, No Port Forwarding

Invite friends from outside your home through Tailscale, with no router changes needed. Give Crafty its own Tailscale address so friends reach the game server and not the rest of your Unraid box.
