Minecraft server ping in Japan, Korea and Taiwan

A Minecraft server in Japan gives players in Japan, South Korea and Taiwan a ping under 20 milliseconds, by Astroworld Hosting's own figures for its Tokyo location. That is low enough for PvP and fast building. Players in eastern China are closer to Japan than to any other location we list, though connections into mainland China vary by provider. Australian players reach Tokyo in about 100 to 130 milliseconds, which is playable for survival.

Japan or Singapore for a Minecraft server?

Choose Japan for players in Japan, Korea and Taiwan and Singapore for players in Southeast Asia. The two cost the same on every plan up to 24 GB, so only the location of your players decides. A group spread across all of Asia is better off in Singapore, the middle of the region. Both are compared on Minecraft hosting in Asia and Singapore on its own on Minecraft hosting in Singapore.

Minecraft Bedrock server hosting in Japan

Bedrock and crossplay servers run in Japan too, for players on phones, tablets, consoles and Windows. A crossplay server lets Java players on PC join the same world through Geyser. These are the Bedrock plans in Japan with the surcharge included:
