What is a Xonotic dedicated server?

A Xonotic dedicated server hosts arena matches at a stable address without one player acting as host. It can run public or private map and mode rotations.

Crafty installs the official Linux release, updates it to the current autobuild and provides the standard server configuration for you to customize.

Why host Xonotic with Crafty Servers?

One-click setup

The official Linux release, updater and starter server.cfg are downloaded and prepared automatically.

Your maps and rules

Control player limits, modes, maps and voting through the normal Xonotic configuration files.

Full server controls

Manage power and console access from the dashboard. Paid sizes add writable files, SFTP, schedules and automatic backup retention.

Fits the free size

A small Xonotic server fits the 1 GB free tier. Paid sizes are available for always-on community hosting and larger rotations.

Frequently asked questions

Which plan runs Xonotic?

Xonotic can start on the 1 GB free size. Choose a paid always-on size for a public community server or heavier custom content.

What do players need to join?

The free Xonotic client and the server hostname and port from the dashboard.

How do players connect?

Use the stable hostname and game port shown on the Crafty dashboard. Standalone games use an explicit port rather than a Minecraft SRV address.

Can I manage my Xonotic server files?

Paid sizes provide writable files and SFTP for server.cfg, maps and packages, plus schedules and automatic backup retention.
