Our guiding principles and approach to creating SimpleCloud. These values reflect how our volunteer team believes a Minecraft cloud system should work.
We’re not a company - we’re a group of passionate Minecraft enthusiasts who came together to create SimpleCloud. We want to share our philosophy with you to transparently communicate our intentions and help you understand what drives our development decisions.
At SimpleCloud, we believe powerful server management should be accessible to everyone. Our mission is to transform complex server management into a simple, intuitive, and seamless experience without compromising on features or reliability.
Creating simplicity requires intentional effort. Our team works tirelessly to ensure technical complexity remains hidden behind intuitive interfaces and workflows. Every feature we release is rigorously evaluated, ensuring ease of use while addressing real-world challenges faced by server administrators.
User experience drives everything we do. Before building any feature, we carefully consider: “How would this be naturally used by server administrators?” Sometimes this means choosing simplicity and practicality over technical elegance. Whether you’re using our dashboard, CLI, or reading our documentation, your experience comes first.
Great software evolves. At SimpleCloud, we don’t just build new capabilities — we continuously refine our existing features to make them easier, faster, and more powerful. Regular updates and iterative improvements are core to our philosophy, driven directly by user insights and evolving community requirements.
The best tools are those you hardly notice. SimpleCloud is designed to quietly and reliably manage your Minecraft server infrastructure, dynamically scaling servers based on demand and effortlessly maintaining static servers with persistent worlds and configurations. Our goal is for you to spend more time fostering your community and less time managing your infrastructure.
SimpleCloud is developed entirely by volunteers in their free time, driven purely by passion and enthusiasm for the Minecraft community. This means we build what we believe in and what excites us. We’re not bound by commercial pressures or investor demands - we create features and improvements because we genuinely want to make something great. This freedom allows us to focus on quality over quantity and to take the time to do things right rather than rushing to meet arbitrary deadlines.
While we’re a Minecraft project developed in our free time, we have a lot of fun creating an appealing and cohesive brand. This attention to branding isn’t strictly necessary, but it’s our special touch - we find joy in crafting a visually pleasing experience with careful attention to detail. We approach our brand design with the same enthusiasm as we do our code, treating the visual identity as an important part of the project simply because we enjoy doing it that way.
We will always strive for the ideal blend of power and simplicity. As the Minecraft community grows and server management technology advances, SimpleCloud remains dedicated to continuously enhancing usability and reliability. Every improvement we make is aimed at making your server management experience as effortless and powerful as possible.
