Homerun Go turns your phone into a real Minecraft server. Not a remote control for a server somewhere else. The world runs on the phone in your hand, and your friends connect over the internet from their own devices. CREATE A SERVER IN ABOUT A MINUTE Pick a name, a version, and your world settings. Homerun Go handles the networking, the port, and the setup. No PC and no cloud rental. FRIENDS JOIN FROM ANYWHERE Every server gets its own address, like yourname.gethomerun.app. Send it with the share sheet and your friends connect from Minecraft: Java Edition on their own devices. Playing on the same wifi? Put the server on your local network instead. RUN IT LIKE A REAL HOST • Live console with command input • Player list with kick, ban, and op controls • Charts for performance and players over time • World snapshots you can roll back with one tap • Difficulty, game mode, whitelist, view distance, and more HOST TOGETHER Invite co-hosts by email or a one-time link, with owner, admin, and member roles. With backups on, a friend's device can even take over hosting. FIND AND BE FOUND List your server publicly so anyone can discover it. Browse other public servers with live player counts and ping, and follow minigame leaderboards with your own Minecraft profile. LIGHT ON YOUR BATTERY Servers on your phone run on Pumpkin, an open source server engine written in Rust and light enough for a phone. Phone servers are vanilla Java Edition, so mods and plugins stay on Homerun Desktop, where your account keeps everything in sync. Homerun Go is free. Start as a guest, then add a free account for backups, a custom address, and sync with Homerun Desktop. NOT AN OFFICIAL MINECRAFT PRODUCT. NOT APPROVED BY OR ASSOCIATED WITH MOJANG OR MICROSOFT.
