Open in my dashboard

Created and started on Playkeeper 0.4.4 on 28 Sep 2026: ready in 13 seconds, with nothing failing to load. Crossplay turned on too, with Geyser and Floodgate starting cleanly.

What it installs

The versions the template pins, as they installed when we started it, so your dashboard installs the same.

The same server by hand

With Docker and the itzg image Playkeeper runs servers in, sized the way Playkeeper sizes it and with the pinned versions. Open TCP 25565 in your provider's firewall.
