NamelessMC alternative
Enderbeam and NamelessMC, honestly compared
Both give you a forum and ranks read from your server. The difference is who owns the PHP version, the database, the backups and the decision to apply a security patch on the day it ships.
What NamelessMC is
NamelessMC is free, open-source website software — MIT licensed — that you install on your own PHP and MySQL hosting. The forum is the real product, and its plugin connects it to your server: LuckPerms groups become website groups, in-game bans are mirrored, and PlaceholderAPI values feed its leaderboards.
- A genuinely mature forum: categories, reactions, reports, infractions, moderation tools and two-factor sign-in.
- Rank sync that reads LuckPerms directly, plus ban mirroring and PlaceholderAPI leaderboards through its own plugin.
- A Discord bot that syncs roles in both directions.
- MIT licensed, so you can fork it, rebrand it and do as you like with it. We do not offer that.
- Free with no tiers, no upsell and no footer credit to remove.
What Enderbeam is
A hosted website builder for Minecraft servers. You make a project, drop our plugin in /plugins, and drag 70+ modules onto a page — your server’s status, online players, ranks, playtime, leaderboards, punishments and forums, all fed from your own server. There is nothing to install anywhere else and nothing to keep patched.
The free plan is a working site with live server data, forums and leaderboards, with no card and no ads. Premium is $9.99 a month per site and adds your own domain, every theme and full control of the styling.

Who should pick NamelessMC
Pick NamelessMC if the forum is the point of your site, you already run hosting you are happy to own, and you want source you can fork and rebrand. It is free in the way only self-hosted software is free, and its forum is deeper than ours.
Your server still needs a website. Ours takes an afternoon.
