Luanti VPS explained
What is a Luanti (Minetest) VPS?
Your Luanti world runs on a server that answers only to you: a KVM VPS with full root access for the official Luanti dedicated server (formerly Minetest), on powerful server CPUs with DDoS protection.
Players connect straight to your VPS's own public IP on UDP port 30000, so there is no router port forwarding, no home PC left running and no tunneling needed. The Luanti documentation itself points public servers toward a VPS or dedicated server.
Root access also leaves room for extras next to the game, like a remote media server, a Discord relay or a map renderer. If you get stuck, the ZapX AI Agent with ZapX Pass explains each step on your VPS. Prefer zero setup? Our managed Luanti (Minetest) server hosting is the alternative.
Features
Everything your Luanti world needs to grow
Root access, solid hardware and room for several worlds, so your Luanti server can grow with your community.
Powerful server CPUs for busy Luanti worlds
Map generation, mob AI and heavy Lua mods keep up with your players, backed by NVMe storage on every VPS.
Any game from ContentDB
Run Mineclonia, VoxeLibre, Minetest Game or a niche gem: Luanti ships without a game, so you pick what your world becomes.
Creative and survival side by side
Run creative and survival in parallel, each world as its own server on its own UDP port like 30000 and 30001, within your VPS resources.
Bring your existing world along
Keep every build your group made at home: upload your world folder via SFTP and carry on where you left off, no fresh start needed.
Daily Backup as a safety net
A griefed spawn or broken mod update is easier to undo: your VPS gets a daily system Backup, and ZapX Pass adds restores and manual Backups.
Harden your server your way
Keep griefers and bots out with Luanti privileges and bans plus your own firewall rules, since root access leaves no setting locked away.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions about Luanti (Minetest)
Answers to the most important questions before you start.
Your own server with root access instead of a managed game panel.
A Luanti VPS is your own KVM virtual server with full root access: you decide how the official Luanti server runs and can add extras like a map renderer or a Discord relay next to it. We provide the hardware, network, DDoS protection and Backups, not a managed game panel. Want zero setup instead? Our managed Luanti (Minetest) server hosting is the better fit.
- Root access via SSH and SFTP
- Room for extras next to the game server
- Managed alternative for zero setup
It depends on players, mods and map size.
Luanti itself is lightweight, so a small group on a light game can start with a smaller package. Memory use grows with the number of players online, heavy mod sets such as Mineclonia or VoxeLibre, a large explored map and every extra world you run. Start with what fits your group today and move to a bigger VPS package later without starting your world over.
- Players online at the same time
- Game and mod set you run
- Explored map size and view range
UDP 30000 by default, no router port forwarding.
Luanti uses UDP port 30000 by default. Because your VPS has its own public IP, players connect directly and you skip router port forwarding entirely. If you use the VPS network firewall, allow that UDP port and give each additional world its own port, such as 30001. With ZapX Pass, the ZapX AI Agent can review your firewall rules with you. Firewall guide in the Help Center
Yes, any game and mod from ContentDB.
Yes. Luanti ships without a game, so you choose one: Mineclonia, VoxeLibre, Minetest Game or any other title from ContentDB, plus your mods. With root and SFTP access, the games, mods and world folders are yours to manage. The official Luanti server is available for common Linux distributions such as Ubuntu and Debian, and the ZapX AI Agent explains the setup if you get stuck.
- Games and mods from ContentDB
- Full file access via SFTP

Locations in Europe and America, pick the one closest to your players.
You can choose from VPS locations in Europe and America. Pick the one closest to most of your players for the lowest ping; many North American groups start with Ashburn, Dallas or Los Angeles. The shop shows every location available for your package before you order.
Yes, DDoS protection is included with every VPS.
Yes. DDoS protection is included with every VPS. At FFM/Eygelshoven and the US locations, traffic is filtered by PletX, our own mitigation built to reduce the impact of attacks on game and server traffic. Together with your own firewall rules, this helps keep your Luanti world reachable during attacks.
You pay for the VPS package, with live prices in the shop.
You pay for the VPS package, not per player or per game. Current prices for every package appear live in the pricing section and the shop, and they can differ by location. Choose a term of 3, 30, 90 or 180 days or one year, with discounts on longer terms, or go Lifetime with ZapX Pass and buy once. Payments run through Stripe, for example via PayPal or credit card.
- Terms from 3 days to 1 year
- Lifetime with ZapX Pass
- Payments through Stripe
A daily system Backup is included with every VPS.
Every VPS gets an automatic daily system Backup as a baseline. To restore Backups and create your own on demand, for example right before a big mod update, you need ZapX Pass, which adds Backup slots for your VPS. Thanks to root access, you can also run your own world Backups with tools like rsync. How Backups work

Which port do I need to open for my Luanti server?
Luanti listens on UDP 30000 by default. I can show you how an allow rule for that port looks in your VPS network firewall, and nothing changes until you confirm it.
And for a second world?
Give it its own port, for example UDP 30001, with a matching rule. I can list your current rules so you can check that nothing overlaps.
