How To Make A Minecraft Server [Step-by-step Guide 2022]   There is a lot to be done playing Minecraft alone. However, it is so much more fun to collaborate with friends. Whether you face the wither or build an enderman farm together, you will need a server that can be updated as you grow.      While there will be minor differences depending on if you are making your Minecraft server on Windows, Mac, or Linux, these are the basic steps you will need to complete:      Step 1: Download the latest Java version      Things to Know Before You Setup a Minecraft Server      Before you build your own Minecraft server, there are a few technical things of which you should have a fundamental understanding. To manage your server and network, you will need to be familiar with these concepts:      - How the command line works - Configuration and configuration of your system.      Buying Hosting or Running a Server from Your Home      Hosting your own home-based server can allow others to find your IP address and eventually hack into your entire network. You might consider looking for a reliable hosting provider if you are worried about your network being exposed to others.      Here are some of the benefits of using third-party hosting programs:      - You don’t need to worry about maintaining equipment or replacing it frequently. - Expert support can help you troubleshoot any problems that may arise. Hosted servers come pre-configured and are easy to manage.      What to Look For in a Minecraft Server Host      Here are a few key elements you should look for when signing up for the best Minecraft server hosting:      Quality server - Choose a server with the right balance of quality and affordability. Many people will search for the "best deal", but end up with lag or other issues during their gameplay. Simple setup and UI - Using a server host will save you time, especially if the host is located in a good area. This can have a significant impact on latency and server quality. Find a host who services your area or is close to your friends for the best results. Reputation - Read reviews about the host to see if anyone has had issues with them. Minecraft takes a lot of time and you want to use that time to have fun progressing in the game, not dealing with server issues. For a better server performance, RAM, SSD and CPU are important. Find a server with a balance of each.      Requirements to Create a Minecraft Server      These are the minimum spec requirements you should have when building your own Minecraft server.      - The latest version of your operating system (such as Windows 10) - A minimum of 4GB or RAM (8GB is recommended) - A wired connection - Good/Unlimited Bandwidth - each player on Minecraft can use up to 100MB per hour. Make sure you have enough coverage.      Best Minecraft Server Setup      Here are a few idea on how you can improve your overall Minecraft server experience:      Unless you have a powerful computer, it is best to not play Minecraft on the same machine as your hosting machine. Otherwise, you could experience issues with your gameplay. To avoid wireless, use an Ethernet cable to connect your server. MINECRAFT SERVERS Reliable connections are always better. Using a desktop PC will give you the best results.      Make a Minecraft Server on Windows PC      Once you have the hardware you need in place, you are ready to set up your Minecraft server on your Windows PC. Complete the following:      Step 1. Step 1.      Java versions older than 1.2 on your system may not be available. You will need to either download or upgrade Java. You can update it by following these steps:      - Open Windows Control Panel.      You can also use the command prompt "java -version" to see a version number to determine if it needs to be updated.      You can create a folder dedicated to your server files on your computer. It can be anywhere on your computer that has enough RAM. It is easier to save all configuration files in one place by creating a folder before you need them.      After you have set up the file, it is now time to download Minecraft's server software. Download the Java.jar file to your chosen folder. When it finishes, double-click the file to create the configuration files and start the server. You can modify the configuration files by following the steps:      Accept the EULA - If you don't accept the RULA, your Minecraft server won't run. To accept the EULA, you will need to open eula.txt. Find the text text "eula=false", then change it to "eula=true". Run the server as an administrator - occasionally you might encounter the error "Cannot save server properties." To avoid this error, you will need administrator rights to run the server. Right-click on the file, and choose "Run As Administrator."      You will need to open the Windows command prompt to start up the Minecraft server. Find the Minecraft server .jar file in your designated folder, then enter the following command (make sure to replace the server section with the actual file name of your server):      - java -Xmx1024M -Xms1024M -jar server file name nogui      You can also use the following command if you would prefer to use the server's UI      - java-Xmx1024M. -Xms1024M. -jar server name      A.bat file is a file that allows you to batch together commands.      Setup a Minecraft Server on Mac      With your hardware in place, you are ready to set up your Minecraft server on your Mac. Follow these steps:      Step 1: Download the Legacy Version of Java for Older MacOS      If you are using an older MacOS version, you may need the legacy Java download. The program is built into MacOS XP.      Step 2: Choose File Location for Minecraft Server Folders      Create a folder on your computer where you will want to store your files. This file can be anywhere on your computer, in your documents or on your desktop. In the event you need to access the folder later, name it. Having a designated file allows you to keep things organized.      Step 3: Download and Run Minecraft Server Software      Visit Minecraft's server page on their website to download Java.jar files to the folder that was created in step two.      Open TextEdit and change the formatting to "plain text" to allow you to input this code. Remember to change your server's name file name in the file name section.      After the command has been inputted, you will need to save the file as "start.command" in the sake folder as the .jar file. Once you are done, open Terminal and grant permissions to the start.command files to run. Here's how:      - Open the terminal by typing "chmod A+x" with a space after x. Drag the start.command folder into the terminal window. Drop it at the end of the command, and then press enter.      Step 4: Setup Port Forwarding on Your Router      This step is not necessary if your goal is to play with people all over the world. This step can be skipped if your friends are on a local network. These steps will enable port forwarding for your router:      - For specific step-by-step instructions, you should refer to the manual that came with your router. You can usually find a PDF copy online if you don't have the manual. When running a Minecraft server, the RCO port you need to forward your device to is the following: 25565. - Find your local IP address and use it to determine the Output IP or server IP for the port you wish to forward. At the command prompt, enter "ipconfig" and you will find your local address. This will tell your router which device to forward.      Warning: Port forwarding could pose a security threat      Step 5: Run the Minecraft Server      Locate the "start.command" file in your Minecraft Server folder and double-click on it to open the Terminal Window. Users will frequently encounter an error message on their first attempt to run the server. Try again until the Terminal opens.      How to Connect to Your Minecraft Server      It is time to invite your friends and family to punch trees with you once your server is working properly. If they are connected to your network, they should be capable of connecting through your local IP address.      You will need to send your friends your external IP address if they are not part of your home network. To find your IP address, all you need to do is search "my ip address" on Google.      You can also check the Minecraft Server Status Checker to make sure your server is live. All you have to do to see the results is to input your public IP.
