Server hosting made by gamers

Obsidian Worlds is a community focused server hosting company with a mission to make multiplayer Minecraft accessible to everyone. Our server technology allows you to only pay when you play - there's no monthly commitment!

Floating World

Straight to the point

Only pay when you play

Obsidian was born from the idea that we can save players money by only charging for a server when it's being used. We've refined that idea into what you see here - an intuitive platform for players to play the game they love without any mandatory extra fees or obstruction.

Pay As You Play
Built By Gamers

By OG Minecraft players

Built by gamers

Our team has been playing Minecraft since the alpha release in 2009, and started hosting servers not long after. With over a decade of server hosting experience, we've run servers for ourselves, friends, family, and even worked with creators to build and host custom modded experiences. We built Obsidian Worlds to make it easier to play Minecraft the way it was meant to be played - with friends.

Community Focussed

Find your tribe

Community focussed

We love the Minecraft community! Over the years, our founders have established a global network of players, from the UK, to the USA, and all the way to Japan. We're lucky to have found our tribe, but finding the right group to play with isn't easy. That's why our goal is to make it easier to play Minecraft with friends - new and old! Our founders are active on our Discord server, and we're also working on some exciting social features to help you find the right group of players to enjoy Minecraft with.

Time-travel technology

Daily backups as standard

As players, we know what it feels like to loose progress. Our founders are experienced server admins who have spent years building reliable and cost effective backup solutions. Our market leading backup technology lets us store years of daily backups at a fraction of the usual cost. We're proud to offer daily backups for 7 days to all players - no additional cost!
