MineShaft: Minecraft Server

MineShaft turns your Android phone into a Minecraft Bedrock server. Zero config, zero ports, zero accounts.

Create a world in under a minute. Friends on the same Wi-Fi see it in their Minecraft Worlds tab automatically. Friends anywhere in the world join through GridLock's private VaporNET network — invite-only, encrypted, no router config, no public exposure.

🚀 ONE-TAP START

- Install, open, tap Create World

- Pick a game mode, difficulty, max players

- Share with friends — they see your world instantly in Minecraft's own Worlds tab

- Keep playing on your phone while the server runs in the background

🌐 PLAY ANYWHERE WITH VAPORNET

Install the free GridLock app and your MineShaft becomes an invite-only server reachable from anywhere. Not a public tunnel exposed to the internet — a WireGuard mesh only your invited friends can reach. No router config. No account on anyone's end. No port forwarding.

🎮 FULL WORLD CONTROL

- Game modes: Survival, Creative, Adventure, Spectator

- Difficulties: Peaceful, Easy, Normal, Hard

- PvP, keep-inventory, allow-cheats toggles

- Choose max players

- Pick your own seed, or let the world generate one

- Live player count

📦 MOD SUPPORT

MineShaft ships the PowerNukkitX plugin runtime so Bedrock-compatible server plugins work out of the box. Install, remove and manage mods from inside the app.
