Ala Lab studio
We build and configure Minecraft servers: pick the server software, install and configure plugins, permissions and protection, and speed the server up so it doesn’t lag. We work on your hosting or VPS. Need a custom plugin? We’ll write it. Price and deadline are agreed before work starts.
What we build
From one part of a server to a network with several game modes. We work with what you already have or start from scratch.
A server you can invite players to on handover day.
Example order: a survival server with an economy, land claims and a store, ready for opening day.
Order on the server without manual work from staff.
Example order: set up moderator permissions so they can’t give themselves items.
The server doesn’t lag at your player count.
Example order: in the evening TPS drops to 12: find what’s loading the server and fix it.
More than one server, or a server with a modpack.
Example order: a lobby and two game modes behind one address with shared permissions.
Server software
We choose the server software to fit what people will play, and explain why. Most servers run 1.21.x, 26.x and 1.20.1, while PvP servers often stay on 1.8.8.
The base of most servers: faster than Spigot and runs its plugins.
A Paper fork with hundreds of gameplay settings, no extra plugins needed.
When you need mods: the server side of the modpack players join with.
For a very large player count there is Folia, but not every plugin works with it, so we’ll check your list in advance. We don’t sell hosting: the server runs on your hosting or VPS.
Checklist
Before inviting players, we go through the server against a list. You get the same list along with the server.
| What | Why |
|---|---|
| Permissions and groups | WhyModerators have only the commands they need, players nothing extra |
| Protection and rollback | WhyLand claims, an action log and rollback in case of griefers |
| Backups | WhyAutomatic backups of the world and settings, and a tested restore |
| Load | WhyA Spark profile at the expected player count, TPS stays steady |
| World | WhyPre-generated terrain and a world border |
| Security | WhyConsole and ports closed, on a network login only through the proxy |
| Updates | WhyA list of plugins with versions and an update procedure |
Example tasks
Typical orders, without client names. Messages like these are where a setup starts.

How we work
At every step you know what is done and what comes next.
Path of a server
Describe the server you need, how many players you expect and where it will run: hosting or VPS. We reply within 8 hours.
We draw up the list of server software, plugins and settings. We fix the scope, price and deadline before starting.
We set everything up on your server and test login, permissions and load.
A working server, a list of plugins and settings, a guide for your staff and the support terms.
Price
Tick what your server needs and watch the amount of work grow. We quote a price once the task is clear and fix it before work starts.
Approximate scope
Setting up one part of the server.
A server from scratch for one game mode.
A server network or a server with custom plugins.
This is a guide, not a price. We name the exact cost and deadline once the task is clear.
Discuss a serverQuestions
No, the server runs on your hosting or VPS. We’ll suggest a plan that fits your player count and game mode.
Yes, setup needs access to the hosting panel or SSH. It’s best to create a separate account for us and close it after handover.
It depends on the game mode, the number of plugins and the player count. We quote a price once the task is clear and fix it, together with the deadline, before work starts.
Yes. We take a profile under load, find what’s loading the server and fix the settings, plugins or builds, without a wipe if possible.
Yes: Fabric, NeoForge and Forge. We build the server side of the modpack and check that players can join with the client modpack.
A working server, a list of plugins and settings, and a guide for your staff. Support after launch is agreed before we start.
