AMP by CubeCoders: Minecraft Server Panel Guide (2026)

AMP (Application Management Panel) by CubeCoders is a paid, polished server management panel. It supports Minecraft and many other games. The selling point is ease of use: a clean interface with automatic configuration for most game servers.

Key Features

• Auto-configuration: AMP detects settings and auto-generates management UI
• Multi-game: Supports Minecraft Java, Bedrock, and 100+ other games
• Instance management: Each server runs as an isolated instance
• Scheduling: Automated tasks, backups, restarts
• User management: Multi-user with permissions
• Monitoring: Real-time CPU, RAM, player stats
• Automatic updates: One-click server updates
• Docker support: Optional containerization

Pricing

AMP is not free:

• Professional: $10 one-time for 5 instances
• Enterprise: Monthly subscription for more instances and support

Compared to free panels, you pay for polish and support.

2. Log in with the credentials set during install
3. Create a new Minecraft instance
4. AMP downloads the server jar automatically
5. Start the server

What AMP gives you that Pterodactyl doesn't

AMP (Application Management Panel) by CubeCoders is a paid game panel. The pitch versus the free Pterodactyl/Pelican stack:

AMP is paid. If you run hosting as a business, the polished UI and license model are easy to charge for. If you self-host one server, Pterodactyl is free and equally capable.

Linux install, the official way

curl -fsSL https://repo.cubecoders.com/cubecoders-repo-buster.deb -o repo.deb
sudo dpkg -i repo.deb
sudo apt update
sudo apt install ampinstmgr
sudo ampinstmgr quickstart ADS01 admin yourEmail@example.com strongpassword

ADS listens on port 8080 by default. Open it via SSH tunnel rather than exposing publicly.

Creating a Minecraft instance

In ADS web UI:

1. Create instance > Application Type: Minecraft Java Edition.
2. Set RAM (e.g. 8192 MB), CPU limit (e.g. 200 % for 2 cores).
3. After provisioning, open the instance > Configuration > Java Args, paste Aikar flags.
4. Console > Start.

The first start downloads the requested server type (Vanilla, Paper, Forge, Fabric).

Backups

Backups tab > Schedule > daily, retain 7. AMP's built-in backup tar.gz's the instance directory and stores it on the host. For off-host safety, a cron rsync to a different machine.
