Move your Minecraft server from Minehut

Moving is three steps: get the files out of Minehut, put them here with the importer, point your players at the new address. Your world, plugins or mods and configs come along; nothing is retyped.

1. Get the files out of Minehut

Minehut’s file manager lets you download the world folder; on plans with file access, use the SFTP details it shows in the importer. Free Minehut servers are limited in what you can download, so a zip of the world is usually the way. Note the plugins you had; they reinstall here from Resources, Plugins.

2. Bring them here

1. Create the server on FadeHost with the same software and Minecraft version as the old one. Do not start it yet.
2. More for this server, Import from another host (also under Settings, Import).
3. Choose SFTP or FTP and enter the old host’s details, or upload the zip you downloaded. Pick what to pull: the world, plugins or mods, configs.
4. Start the server and read the console. A plugin that stored the old address or an absolute path needs a config edit.

3. Switch the address

Players take the new address from the server page, or from the join page you share. A custom domain moves by changing its SRV record, or by connecting the domain in Settings, General, Your own domain. Keep Minehut for a day while people switch, then cancel it.

What is different here

• Your server has its own address and port; no lobby, no queue, no credits.
• Plugins, mods and modpacks install from the panel without upload limits, and you have the console and the files.
• A free FadeHost server is 2 GB and sleeps when empty; the trial gives 8 GB with no card.
