From an idea to a shared world

Your server. Six simple steps.

MineBanish handles hosting. You decide what to play, who can join and when your server runs. Here is what happens at each step.

Create one account, manage one server

Register with your email and a password. Your account manages one Minecraft server through the browser or Android app. Friends do not need MineBanish accounts to join: they need Minecraft Java Edition and a place on your player list.

Pick an address and a world

Choose an available name such as team-cave. It becomes team-cave.minebanish.com, the address you share. Pick an available journey and the server version offered for it. The service is in Beta, so use the version indicated by your server rather than assuming every Minecraft version or feature works.

Choose your players and permissions

Add your own Minecraft name and up to ten friends’ names. The whitelist limits who can join. Operator permissions are a separate choice: give them only to trusted players who need administrative commands. Game mode, difficulty, PvP, seed and MOTD are managed in the server settings.

Check your play-time balance

Runtime is the time your server can stay running. Where rewarded ads are available, completing an optional rewarded placement adds time; the current defaults are 15 minutes per verified reward and a maximum balance of six hours. Android uses AdMob rewarded ads. Browser rewarded availability is shown in the dashboard, and a test grant is explicitly labeled when test mode is enabled. Ordinary website display ads are separate and never grant play time.

Start, then join from Java Edition

Start the server from the dashboard and wait for it to be running. In Minecraft Java Edition, open Multiplayer, choose Add Server, and paste the full address. Friends follow the same steps with their own Minecraft names. Available hosting capacity can delay a start; a saved server address does not reserve a running slot.

Stop when the session is over

Time is consumed while the server runs, including when nobody is connected. Stop it when you finish. Running out of runtime stops the server without immediately resetting the world. Settings edits and world downloads require a stopped server, so wait for the dashboard to confirm that state.

A world worth building is worth backing up.

Download your world ZIP regularly and before a long break. Stopped worlds may expire after seven days since last use. Resetting a world or switching journeys erases the current world, while simply stopping it does not. MineBanish provides world downloads, not a guaranteed cloud backup or an in-app restore service.
