American ExpressAbout Magma
Magma is hybrid server software for Minecraft: Java Edition that runs Forge mods and Bukkit, Spigot or Paper plugins together on one server. Your players get modded content like new machines, dimensions and mobs, while you keep the plugin toolkit for ranks, economy, land claims and anti-grief. Magma is the software; with Magma server hosting at ZAP-Hosting it runs as your own server, with MagmaPack installed automatically and unlimited player slots.
With full file access you upload your own world, drop Forge mods into the mods folder and add plugins through the file manager. Test new combinations against a Backup with ZapX Pass before your community joins, pick the location closest to your players from our locations worldwide and manage everything from the panel or your phone.

FAQ
Answers to the most important questions before you start.
Magma is hybrid Minecraft server software that loads Forge mods and Bukkit, Spigot or Paper plugins on the same server. Your players get modded content, and you get the plugin toolkit for permissions, economy and protection. Plugins need to match your Minecraft version, and not every mod/plugin combination works together, so test new additions before going public. Adding plugins manually
It depends on your modlist, your plugins and how many players are online. Hybrid servers load mods and plugins into memory at the same time, so they need noticeably more RAM than vanilla. Less than 6 GB is rarely enough for Magma. Start with a package that fits your modpack and move to more RAM and CPU as your server grows. Player slots stay unlimited on every package.
When you order, the latest release of MagmaPack is installed automatically. The version selector in the panel shows which Magma builds are available for your server. Whichever you pick, keep your mods, plugins and client on the same Minecraft version. A mismatch is the most common reason a hybrid server won't start.
Setup is automated. After payment, your server is provisioned and MagmaPack is installed for you, so it's typically online within 60 seconds. You'll find the IP and port in the panel and can connect from a Minecraft client that has the matching mods installed.
Yes. Upload your current world, copy your Forge mods into the mods folder and add Bukkit or Spigot plugins to the plugins folder. Switching from a pure Forge server works the same way. Make a Backup first with ZapX Pass, then check that every mod and plugin supports the Minecraft version you run. How to upload your world
Yes. Every ZAP-Hosting gameserver is DDoS-protected, so attack traffic aimed at your public server is filtered before it reaches your players. The protection level depends on the location you choose, and you can follow incoming traffic in the panel's DDoS manager.
We run locations worldwide, and you pick the one closest to your players or community when you order. Many North American groups start with Ashburn, Dallas or Los Angeles, while communities elsewhere choose a location in their own region. Latency mostly depends on choosing a nearby location.
Yes, you can cancel anytime in the panel. Terms range from 3 to 365 days, and a cancellation takes effect at the end of the current term, so your server keeps running until then. Cancellation explained
