01
Ready before demand
Keep game servers warm so a full queue does not have to wait for a container to boot.
Minecraft server orchestration, scaled by player demand
EnderCloud is an open-source Minecraft server orchestrator and autoscaler for game networks. It keeps game servers ready before queues fill, starts servers on demand as players arrive, and stops idle instances across multiple Docker hosts.
FROM QUEUE TO CLEANUP
Players get a ready server. You stop managing the lifecycle.
02
Players get matched and reserved
Build a match from queued players, assign them to one session, and reserve a ready server before transfer.
03
Players move automatically
Send matched players through Velocity and track the session until the game ends.
04
Idle capacity disappears
When the match ends, delete its server so the host can reuse the CPU and memory it occupied.
FEATURES BUILT AROUND THE REAL WORK
Everything needed to run the network without babysitting it.
CAPACITY / 01
Servers ready before queues fill
Set the ready capacity for each game mode. EnderCloud replenishes it as players consume available servers.
MATCHING / 02
Matchmaking that keeps parties together
Build a valid match from complete parties, then reserve one server for everyone selected.
PLACEMENT / 03
Capacity spread across every host
Use the CPU and memory available across your Docker hosts without choosing a machine for every server.
CONFIG / 04
Repeatable server versions
Start every instance from revisioned templates so an update produces the same files and settings everywhere.
RUNTIME / 05
Paper and Velocity integration
Let plugins join queues, report game state, submit results, and move players without managing infrastructure.
OPERATIONS / 06
Problems visible in one place
See every group, instance, host, queue, and incident before players have to report what went wrong.
SOLUTION / MULTI-HOST OPERATIONS
Add hosts without adding more manual work.
EnderCloud uses the capacity already available across your machines. It chooses where each server runs, keeps ready instances balanced, and moves capacity before a host goes into maintenance.
- 01Choose a host from available CPU and memory
- 02Keep warm capacity balanced across machines
- 03Replace capacity before host maintenance
- 04Recover from the containers that are actually running
SOLUTION / CAPACITY AND MATCHMAKING
Change how a game mode runs without chasing settings across services.
Keep ready capacity, player limits, matchmaking rules, server versions, and timeouts together. Operators can see the active policy and the instances satisfying it.
SOLUTION / LIVE INVENTORY
Know what is running, where it runs, and why.
Filter servers by state, game mode, version, or host. When a container fails or a process restarts, EnderCloud compares the plan with what Docker is actually running.
DOCUMENTATION
Configure the network without reverse-engineering the code.
Follow the installation, set capacity and matchmaking rules, add Docker hosts, then connect Paper and Velocity plugins.
