Beacon makes running a Minecraft server with friends simple. One command installs your server, web dashboard, automatic backups, mod management, and a live 3D world map on your own hardware. The companion launcher keeps everyone's game version and mods in sync, so friends can just hit Play. Keep your server private or list it on Beacon Atlas for others to discover. Free to run, with your world and data under your control.

Hey Product Hunt! 👋
We built beacon-mc.io to make running a Minecraft server with friends easy. From setting it up to getting everyone into the game (Invite links, custom domains, Microsoft auth, etc).
There’s a lot around that simple goal: server configuration, backups, matching mods, and helping friends get the right version installed. I wanted those pieces to work together while keeping the world on hardware you control.
That shaped Beacon into more than a server dashboard:
- One command installs the server, dashboard, backups, mod management, and live 3D map.
- A companion launcher handles game versions and mod syncing so friends can hit Play.
- Servers stay private by default, with optional discovery through Beacon Atlas.
The guiding idea became making both sides easier: hosting the world and joining it.
Beacon is in alpha and free to run. I’d love to hear from people who’ve hosted Minecraft server!
P.S. We also open-sourced our 3D map renderer if you want to use it for your server or locally: vantage.beacon-mc.io
