How do I start an Enshrouded server at MC-Node?

Enshrouded is a survival action RPG that has now sold more than 4 million copies, with an all-time peak of 160,000 concurrent players. Version 1.0 launches on PC and PS5 on 15 October 2026 — the perfect moment to jump in with your own server. At MC-Node you can rent an Enshrouded server from €3.00 per month, with NVMe storage, DDoS protection and monthly cancellation. Your server is online within 1 minute.

Step 1: Order your server

1. Go to the Enshrouded page in our store.
2. Choose a plan (see below for how much RAM you need).
3. Choose a location: the Netherlands, Germany, Poland or North America. Pick the location closest to you and your fellow players for the lowest ping.
4. Complete the order. Your server is created automatically and is online within 1 minute.

Which plan do I need?

Our Enshrouded plans range from 2 to 20 GB RAM. For Enshrouded, 8 to 16 GB of RAM is recommended:

• 8 GB RAM — a great starting point for a small group of friends.
• 12–16 GB RAM — recommended if you're heading towards the maximum of 16 players per server or want extra headroom for a large world.

Not sure? Start smaller: you can always upgrade to a larger plan later.

Step 2: First start via the panel

1. Log in to the game panel via panel.mc-node.net with the details from your welcome email.
2. Open your Enshrouded server in the overview.
3. Click Start. On the Console tab you can watch the server boot up; wait until the log lines indicate that the server is ready.
4. Want to change the server name or password? You can do that via the Startup tab or the configuration files under Files. Then restart the server with Restart.

Step 3: Connecting to your server

1. Note your server's IP address and port; you can find these at the top of the panel.
2. Start Enshrouded and choose to join a multiplayer server.
3. Enter the IP address with the port, plus the server password if you set one.
4. Done! Invite up to 16 friends to play together.
