After signing in to the panel, click 'New Server'. The wizard guides you through four steps: package (or custom configuration), server software, Minecraft version and world template.
The package step shows 5 presets by RAM; check the player-limit suggestions if you know your group size. Unsure? Start with the 2 GB Starter — you can upgrade later.
The software step offers 9 options: pick Paper or Purpur for plugins, Fabric or NeoForge for mods. Version lists are fetched live; the latest stable version is pre-selected.
After confirming, setup typically takes a few minutes. Once ready, your address (yourname.arcadeservers.com) appears in the panel, ready to copy.
