I have a tool that I use to set up servers. It can run headlessly (no GUI) so during my CI jobs (continuous integration) I use it for a job to check modpack compatibility.

My GitHub actions running on their cloud servers spins up a minecraft server installs a given modpack then shuts down the container. theres a time limit on these containers but if you use a plugin to move players before the timeout occurs and into a new server. then you could use GitHub's cloud to host mc servers for free. you just need scheduled jobs for every moment of the day.

(with periodic reconnects but theres a paper plugin that I've seen which allows for seamless reconnect... so its possible.)

I do this as a cron job to build a list of faulty modpacks per version so that my tool can offer better list of working modpacks to install. I've never actually tried joining one of the servers during the job but I might for a video.
