Free, for Minecraft: Java Edition. Macs with Apple silicon. Windows 10 and 11. Windows Mac

Hearth runs on a computer. Open this page there.

Three steps

1
Open Hearth.

Your world starts on its own.
2
Send your code.

Copy the Hearth code or an address, and send it wherever you talk.
3
Friends join.

Your world shows up in their Minecraft server list.

Why not something else?

A paid realm?: Hearth is free, and it doesn't stop at 10 friends.
A free host?: No waiting in line, no ads, and it doesn't shut down when everyone logs off.
A mod?: No mods, no mod loader. Friends join plain Minecraft with your address, or through Hearth with your code.

The honest part

Your computer stays on while friends play. It is the server.
Java Edition only, on Windows and Apple-silicon Macs.
Hearth is early, so things may break.
A few home networks can't reach each other yet.

The first time you open it

Hearth isn't signed by Apple or Microsoft yet, so they ask once.

Windows: If it says it protected your PC, click More info, then Run anyway.
Mac: Open System Settings, then Privacy & Security, and click Open Anyway.
