🎮 Gaming Servers

Every game and voice server self-hosted out of the homelab, with the address you need to actually connect. Status tags are checked automatically every couple of minutes — "Under Maintenance" means active work in progress, not an unplanned outage.

Minecraft Bedrock — "Hopkins Family" World

The main family Bedrock survival world.

Checking…
minecraft.sonofatech.com
Port: 19132

Enter address and port in the client's separate fields — pasting a combined host:port string into one field throws a generic formatting error.

Hytale

Self-hosted Hytale world.

Checking…
hytale.sonofatech.com
Port: 5520

Same gotcha as Bedrock — address and port go in separate client fields.

Minecraft Java — Superheroes

Legacy Forge 1.7.10 build running Fisk's Superheroes mod.

Checking…
superheroes.sonofatech.com

No port needed — just enter the hostname. You'll need the matching Forge 1.7.10 client and the mod installed — this server is intentionally pinned to that version for mod compatibility, so a modern client will show "Outdated Server."

⚠️ Shrink too far with Pym Particles and you'll fall into the Quantum Realm — there's no way back on your own (no portal, no item). Message an admin if it happens; getting pulled out is a manual server-side fix, not something you can undo yourself.

⬇ Easy install (Prism Launcher)

Minecraft Java — Modern Superheroes

Fabric 1.20.1 build running Thematic Superheroes, a maintained equivalent to the legacy mod above.

Checking…
modernheroes.sonofatech.com

No port needed — just enter the hostname. This is a modded server; you'll need the matching mods installed client-side too, or it'll fail to connect properly. A completely separate world from the legacy Superheroes server above.

⬇ Easy install (Prism Launcher)

Palworld

Public dedicated Palworld server.

Checking…
palworld.sonofatech.com
Port: 8211

Enshrouded

Public dedicated Enshrouded server.

Checking…
enshrouded.sonofatech.com
Port: 15637

Dune Awakening

Self-hosted world, "Son of a Tech." Base decay, sandstorm damage, and building restrictions are all disabled — build what you want, keep what you build.

Checking…

This game doesn't take a manual address — self-hosted worlds register to the owner's account and show up automatically in the in-game Experimental Servers browser tab under the name "Son of a Tech."

đź’¬ Outpost (Voice & Chat)

Self-hosted Discord alternative, "Son Of a Tech" — real WebRTC voice/video channels, text channels per game, roles, invites. Replaced the old TeamSpeak server (retired 2026-08-02).

Curious how any of this is actually hosted? Check the wiki guide on exposing a self-hosted game server to the internet — every server above runs through a small VPS relay so it can have its own clean *.sonofatech.com address instead of a random auto-generated one.
