Mineflare is a project that lets you deploy and run a full Minecraft Java server on Cloudflare’s edge using Cloudflare Workers and Containers, with features like real-time monitoring, authentication, and plugin management.

The server runs in a container with 4 vCPUs and 12 GiB of memory, costs about $0.50/hour, and automatically shuts down after 20 minutes of inactivity to control expenses; data is persistently stored in Cloudflare R2. Setup requires a Cloudflare paid plan and integrates third-party tools for network access, while optional plugins like Dynmap and playit.gg are available for map and connectivity features.
