NETWORKING AND TUNNELS
Play with others over your local network or use supported tunnel options such as Playit and ngrok. Pocket Server provides guided setup designed to get your server online quickly without complicated router configuration.
Tunnel providers may require a separate account, browser approval, or provider verification. Availability and usage limits are controlled by each provider.
EVERY FEATURE IS FREE
Pocket Server includes every server-management feature for free. There are no locked backups, plugins, worlds, profiles, tunnels, or advanced settings.
The free version contains non-intrusive banner ads. An optional $0.99 monthly subscription removes ads only and supports continued development.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Running a Java server can use significant battery, memory, storage, and network data. Performance depends on your Android device, server version, installed plugins, world size, and number of players.
Only install server jars and plugins from sources you trust. Plugins and custom jars contain external executable code.
