Run Mineflayer, Minecraft Console Client or Mindcraft on a Linux KVM VPS in the EU, so your bot stays online while your PC is off. You sign in with your own Microsoft account and follow the rules of each server you join.
One bot from €4.20 a month, VAT included.

Mindcraft publishes no memory figure. 8 GB is our pick, not a measurement.
Full game client
The full Minecraft game needs a graphics card, and these VPS plans have none. We have not tested the full client on our machines yet, so ask us before you order.
Every plan: KVM with full root access, DDoS protection, NVMe storage and an EU data center. Standard is set up manually within 24 hours after payment. Prices include VAT; checkout shows the total for your country. Monthly billing, cancel in the client area. Pay yearly in the shop and save at least 10%. We have not measured how many bots fit on each plan. The same sizes with the Ryzen 9 9950X, such as VPS-S Premium at €8.40 and VPS-M Premium at €16.80, are on the VPS hosting page.
Quick answer: Space-Node sells Linux KVM VPS plans in an EU data center for running your own Minecraft bots, such as Mineflayer scripts, Minecraft Console Client and Mindcraft AI bots. The bot runs on the VPS, so it stays connected while your PC is off. VPS-XS Premium (2 GB RAM, AMD Ryzen 9 9950X) costs €4.20 a month for one bot, VPS-S Standard (4 GB, AMD EPYC 7452) €4.99 for several bots, and VPS-M Standard (8 GB) €8.99 for AI bots. Prices include VAT, billing is monthly, and every plan has full root access, dedicated RAM, shared vCores and DDoS protection. You sign in with your own Microsoft account, and each server's rules decide whether bots are allowed.
Mineflayer, a console client or an AI bot joins a server as a player, with its own account. That is what the plans above are for.
Want your own world online for your friends while you are offline? Then you need a server, not a bot. Minecraft server hosting starts at €2.70 a month, with the Pterodactyl panel. Coming from Aternos? See the Aternos alternative.
With player-idle-timeout at 0 in server.properties, idle players are never kicked, so you may not need a bot at all (Aternos does not allow this change). Our server.properties generator explains every setting.
Pick a plan above. In the order form you choose the operating system: Ubuntu 24.04 LTS is marked as recommended, and the commands below are for Ubuntu. After payment we set up your server; Standard is set up manually within 24 hours. Your login details appear in your client area and in your email.
Log in over SSH, preferably as a separate user with SSH keys, as the MCC VPS guide (opens in a new tab) does. For the SSH settings themselves, use our SSH hardening guide. Install Node.js 22 the way nodejs.org shows it, then your tool. Mineflayer is a library: install it in your bot's own folder and start your script with node. For Mindcraft, rename keys.example.json to keys.json, add your API key, set host, port and "auth": "microsoft" in settings.js, then run node main.js.
Start your bot inside screen with screen -S bot, detach with Ctrl+A and then D, and come back later with screen -r bot. On the first start, Mineflayer and MCC show a Microsoft sign-in link and a code: open the link on your own phone or PC, sign in with your own account and enter that code. Close SSH and the bot keeps running on the VPS. After a reboot, start it again.

Read the rules before you connect, and ask the staff when you are not sure. Three examples, checked on 29 October 2026:
No AFK farming and no in-game bots: an account left online that acts or collects information without player input is not allowed (game rules 19 and 20).
No AFK farming, no alternative accounts to gain an advantage, and no mods or clients that give you an advantage over other players.
Its terms forbid bots or fake players that keep a free server from stopping, and getting around the idle timeout by reconnecting automatically.
auth: 'microsoft', Mineflayer asks you to sign in at microsoft.com with a code, and Minecraft Console Client shows a link and a code the same way. Open the link on your own phone or PC, sign in with your own account and enter the code. MCC needs no password for this and works with two-step verification. If signing in from the VPS does not work, the MCC docs suggest checking the security center of your Microsoft account and approving the sign-in from the VPS there.Your own world online, with the Pterodactyl panel.
