Anvil-MC (formerly ARM-MC) turns your Android phone or tablet into a Minecraft server. No PC, VPS or port forwarding required.
🚀 Custom Server Software Support
Upload and run your own .jar files to take full control of your server environment:
- Spigot & PaperMC, high-performance servers with full plugin support
- Fabric & NeoForge, modded worlds with your favourite gameplay enhancements
- Custom Jars, any compatible Java-based server software you choose
Note: Anvil-MC does not bundle or distribute any Minecraft server binaries. Users provide their own .jar files, or select a version from the official PaperMC and Fabric APIs. When a server is started, the Java runtime retrieves the selected server software and runs it as an independent process. This setup and execution happens entirely within the Java runtime sandbox and do not modify or extend the functionality of Anvil-MC itself.
