How To Setup A Minecraft Java Server

When setting up an Minecraft server, there are a lot of possibilities. This guide currently covers how to set up the Survival Multiplayer Server without mods. We will be adding additional guides to help you set up a server that has mods in the near future.

Create a Vanilla Survival Multiplayer Server (MSP)

These steps will allow you to get an online Minecraft Java server in no time.

1. Java can be downloaded and installed

You can download the most recent version of Java from Oracle.

2. Download the Minecraft Server from the official Minecraft Server

This is minecraft.net''s download page.

3. Create a folder to store your minecraft server

This folder can be named and located wherever you''d like. It should be easy to find and simple. I like calling the folder minecraft-server, and then putting it in my home/user folder.

4. Install your minecraft server folder

Transfer the downloaded server.jar file into your minecraft folder.

Windows: Create a new file called run.bat Create the batch (.bat) file in windows

Create a new file called run.sh on MacOS / Linux

Edit the file and set the text as your default text.

5. Create your server and accept the EULA

With your run file created, let''s start the server.

Windows: Double-click your run.bat folder

MacOS or Linux: Go to the terminal to your minecraft folder and enter bash./run.sh.

The command line should display some logs, and your Minecraft server folder will be filled with new folders and files. Find and open the eual.txt file and replace the eula=false value with eula=true.

6. Connect to your server by running the following command

After you have been approved by the eula, you can restart your server. Next start Minecraft and connect with 127.0.0.1.25565. If you''re unable to connect, ensure that your server is running. If everything is fine and you''re unsure the reason you aren''t connecting you can ask for assistance on our discord.

7. Make your server available to the public

Now you can connect to your server remotely. Let''s make it open for friends so they can join. https://swissrocketman.com/ Explore the interactive guide.
