Your world waits. Your server doesn’t.
Effortless, wake-on-connect Minecraft hosting for friend groups.
Sleeps when empty, wakes when you join, snapshots safely in between.

Playing Minecraft with friends usually comes with an annoying compromise:

• Pay $10–$25 every month for a 24/7 rented VPS that sits completely empty 90% of the week.
• Self-host on your gaming PC, which means port forwarding, dynamic DNS headaches, leaving your computer running all night, and being the only person who can turn the server on.
• Use traditional "free" hosts, only to suffer through 45-minute queue times, laggy hardware, hourly renewal CAPTCHAs, and servers that get deleted if you go on vacation for a week.

Kurbis keeps your world ready without keeping a machine burning electricity.

When anyone in your group wants to play, they simply connect to your server address in Minecraft. The Kurbis gateway catches the connection, wakes your world up in seconds, and connects them seamlessly. When everyone logs off, a 5-minute countdown begins. Once it finishes, Kurbis captures a verified snapshot of your world, stores it safely in durable cloud storage, and releases the infrastructure.

Next day, next week, or next month—connect again, and your world picks up right where you left off.

• ⚡ Zero server babysitting — No need to open a dashboard to click "Start" before playing.
• 🎮 One address, two editions — Java and Bedrock friends play together in the exact same world.
• 🛡️ Durable snapshot protection — Your world data is saved safely to cloud object storage.
• 💸 100% Free — 2 GiB RAM, 5 GiB storage, no credit card required, no ads, no countdown renewals.

Kurbis reimagines the server lifecycle as a clean, automated cycle:

1. Sleep: When no one is playing, no server process runs. Your world lives securely as an immutable, compressed snapshot in cloud storage.
2. Wake on Connect: A player opens Minecraft and connects to your-world.kurbis.host. The Kurbis intelligent gateway catches the connection, provisions an isolated worker, restores your world from its snapshot, and seamlessly transitions the player into the game.
3. Play: Friends join, explore, build, and adventure together. Low latency, rock-solid tick rates, and full crossplay.
4. Snapshot: When the last person logs off, a 5-minute inactivity timer begins. Once it expires, Kurbis cleanly saves the world state, verifies the snapshot in cloud storage, and releases worker capacity.

Stop asking your friends "Are you on PC or console?"

• Single Hostname: Share one clean address (e.g. your-world.kurbis.host).
• Seamless Crossplay: Java Edition players (PC, Mac, Linux) and Bedrock Edition players (Windows, iOS, Android, Xbox, PlayStation, Nintendo Switch) play together in the exact same world.
• Zero Config: No messy Geyser setups, no separate port forwards, no plugin conflicts.

Kurbis is powered by Pumpkin, a cutting-edge Minecraft server written from the ground up in Rust:

• Instant Boot: Boots in a fraction of the time required by traditional bloated Java servers.
• Memory Efficient: High-performance multithreading and memory safety without garbage-collection pauses.
• Buttery-Smooth Ticks: Reliable 20 TPS performance designed for multiplayer exploration.

Your builds and adventures are too important to lose to server corruption:

• Automatic Session Saves: An immutable snapshot is captured every time your server goes to sleep.
• Manual Backups: Trigger a manual backup snapshot anytime from the web panel while playing.
• 1-Click Restore: Creeper blew up your storage room? Accidental lava fire? Roll back to any snapshot in your history instantly.
• Persistent Worlds: Your world never expires or gets wiped due to inactivity.

Manage your server without ever leaving the game:

• Are you an operator in-game? Type /kurbis in chat.
• Kurbis generates a private, secure, 15-minute one-time link right in your Minecraft chat.
• Click the link to open your server's web management panel—no passwords or logins required!

A management dashboard designed for players, not system administrators:

• Live Lifecycle State: Real-time visibility into whether your world is Sleeping, Waking, Restoring, Online, or Snapshotting.
• Online Console: Send operator commands (/gamemode, /time set, /give) directly from your browser while online.
• Live ANSI Logs: Real-time server logs with Minecraft and ANSI color rendering.
• Player & Whitelist Management: Manage your player roster, whitelist status, and operator permissions with a single click.
• World Presets & Settings: Choose between Survival or Creative presets, tweak difficulty, toggle PvP, and configure view distance.
• Accessible & Responsive: Fully responsive from 390px mobile screens to large desktop monitors, keyboard navigable, and WCAG AA compliant.

We believe hosting limits should be plainly stated with no hidden asterisks:

Getting a server up and running takes less than a minute:

1. Sign In: Go to kurbis.host and sign in with your Google or Discord account.
2. Create Your World: Pick a name for your world (e.g. cozy-craft) and select your game preset (Survival or Creative).
3. Share the Address: Copy your server address (cozy-craft.kurbis.host) and share it with your friends.
4. Join & Play: Open Minecraft (Java or Bedrock) and connect to your address. Kurbis automatically wakes up, restores the world, and lets you in!

Kurbis is engineered with modern, memory-safe, high-performance systems:
