Could you build this?

Partial The dashboard and signup flow are vibe-codeable, but running Minecraft servers that sleep and wake on demand requires handling the Minecraft network protocol and provisioning server infrastructure.

What it would actually take: Use a Java Edition proxy (for example, a Velocity- or Bungee-style layer) to accept player connections on subdomains and wake a container when a login arrives, with a control plane that starts and stops per-user Minecraft server containers. Provisioning, resource isolation, and cost control at scale need container orchestration and networking knowledge, and the protocol handling needs someone who understands Minecraft internals.
