Get Started FreeNo credit card required

Setup in 4 Steps

Skip the manual installation, port forwarding, and configuration. Install on your own computer and start hosting instantly.

Step 01

Create a GameCP Account

Sign up for free at gamecp.com. No credit card required. Your dashboard is ready in seconds.

GameCP gives you a full control panel with Docker containerization, file management, automatic port forwarding, and automatic updates — all built in.

Step 02

Connect Your Hardware

Install GameCP on your own desktop, laptop, VPS, or dedicated machine. One-line install — no SSH expertise needed.

GameCP installs Docker, configures networking, and sets up automatic port forwarding so your friends can connect instantly. Start hosting from your own PC and scale to a VPS later. Supports Windows, macOS, and Linux.

Step 03

Deploy Minecraft - Purpur

Select "Minecraft - Purpur" from the template library and hit deploy. GameCP handles installation, ports, startup commands, and all configuration automatically.

Includes pre-configured server.properties, plugins/voicechat/voicechat-server.properties. Uses the eclipse-temurin:21-jre-alpine image. ~5 GB storage.

Step 04

Start Playing

Hit start and share your server address. Automatic port forwarding handles the rest — no router config needed.

GameCP monitors your server health and provides live logs from your browser. Your friends connect using the address GameCP gives you.

The Manual Way vs. GameCP

Manual Setup

  • ✗ Configure 4+ firewall ports and router settings
  • ✗ Write systemd service files
  • ✗ SSH into server to edit configs

With GameCP

  • Automatic port forwarding — no router config
  • Host from your own PC, VPS, or dedicated server
  • Docker container with auto-restart
  • Visual config editor in browser
  • Under 5 minutes total

# Pull the container image
docker pull eclipse-temurin:21-jre-alpine
Step 2

Run the Installation Script

Minecraft - Purpur uses a custom install script to download and configure the server files.

Installation Script
#!/bin/bash

apt update
apt install -y wget curl jq

cd /opt/gameserver || { echo "Failed to change directory to /opt/gameserver"; exit 1; }

# Accept EULA
echo "Accepting EULA..."
echo "eula=true" > eula.txt

PURPUR_API="https://api.purpurmc.org/v2/purpur"

if [ "$MC_VERSION" = "latest" ]; then
  echo "Fetching latest Purpur version..."
  MC_VERSION=$(curl -sSL "$PURPUR_API" | jq -r '.versions[-1]')
  echo "Latest Purpur version: $MC_VERSION"
else
  echo "Using specified version: $MC_VERSION"
fi

# Verify version exists
VER_CHECK=$(curl -sSL "$PURPUR_API" | jq -r --arg V "$MC_VERSION" '.versions[] | select(. == $V)')
if [ -z "$VER_CHECK" ]; then
  echo "WARNING: Version $MC_VERSION not found at Purpur. Falling back to latest..."

if [ -z "$LATEST_BUILD" ] || [ "$LATEST_BUILD" = "null" ]; then
  echo "ERROR: Could not determine latest build for Purpur $MC_VERSION!"
  exit 1
fi

DOWNLOAD_URL="$PURPUR_API/$MC_VERSION/$LATEST_BUILD/download"
echo "Downloading Purpur $MC_VERSION build $LATEST_BUILD..."
wget -q "$DOWNLOAD_URL" -O server.jar
echo "Purpur download completed."

# Install Simple Voice Chat plugin if enabled

if [ "$VOICE_ENABLED" = "true" ] || [ "$VOICE_ENABLED" = "1" ]; then
  echo "Voice Chat enabled. Installing Simple Voice Chat plugin..."
  mkdir -p plugins

  fi

  if [ -n "$VOICE_URL" ]; then
    wget -q "$VOICE_URL" -O plugins/voicechat.jar
    echo "Simple Voice Chat plugin installed."
  else
    echo "WARNING: Could not find Simple Voice Chat for Purpur/Paper. Skipping."
  fi
else
  echo "Voice Chat disabled. Skipping plugin install."
fi

echo "Install Completed"
Step 3

Open Firewall Ports

Minecraft - Purpur requires 4 ports to be open for game traffic and queries.

terminal
sudo ufw allow 25565/tcp
sudo ufw allow 25575/tcp
sudo ufw allow 25566/both
sudo ufw allow 24454/udp
25565/TCP(PORT)25575/TCP(RCON_PORT)25566/BOTH(QUERY_PORT)24454/UDP(VOICE_CHAT_PORT)
Step 4

Launch the Server

Start the Minecraft - Purpur server using the configuration from Step 1.

terminal
docker run -d \
  --name minecraft-java-purpur-server \
  -p 25565:25565/tcp \
  -p 25575:25575/tcp \

Alternative startup profiles:

  • Aikar's Flags (Optimized) — Optimized JVM flags recommended by Aikar for Minecraft servers. Best for servers with 10+ players.
  • ZGC Low Latency — Generational ZGC for ultra-low pause times. Best for competitive or latency-sensitive servers. Requires Java 21+.
  • Shenandoah GC — Low-latency GC that minimises pause times regardless of heap size. Java 17+ only.
  • No Optimisation — JVM defaults only — no GC tuning applied. Not recommended for production servers.
  • Custom Flags — Enter your own -XX: flags. Preset flags are disabled so you have full control.

GameCP lets you switch between these profiles with one click.
