Getting started
Create an account and download the desktop app to run servers from your machine.
Hosting servers

Backup and tiers
Free: run servers. Backup tier: sync to cloud. Pro: backup + AI credits.
Export & import format
Backups and sync data can be exported as a ZIP (full copy with
ihostmc-import.json at root) or as a single .ihostmc-snapshot JSON file. Import a ZIP to create a new sync server with all files, or import a snapshot file to add a metadata-only backup. The format is documented in the repo as docs/IHOSTMC-SNAPSHOT-FORMAT.md.Full documentation
