PocketMC is a community-driven, free, and open-source local Minecraft server management platform. Born from the belief that running your own multiplayer Minecraft server should be as effortless as launching singleplayer, PocketMC automates Java runtimes, network tunneling, mod management, and cloud backups while safeguarding user privacy.
All server worlds, configurations, and logs remain strictly on your local machine. We do not operate proprietary cloud databases or lock your game saves behind subscriptions.
No router logins, CGNAT workarounds, or manual Java PATH configurations. PocketMC provisions Adoptium Java runtimes and Playit.gg tunnels in seconds automatically.
Distributed under the permissive MIT License. Zero paywalls, zero artificial player slot limitations, and zero telemetry monetization.
PocketMC is engineered using modern .NET 8, utilizing Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) for high-performance desktop integration on Windows and Avalonia UI for cross-platform Linux and macOS deployments.
save-off and save-all flush before backups to guarantee world file integrity.PocketMC is actively developed and maintained by lead contributors sizwinz and divyviradiya2 alongside an active community of Minecraft server administrators, modders, and open-source developers.
