Why Make Your Own Server

Having your own Minecraft server gives you full control. You decide the game mode number of players and even what mods to use. No more laggy public servers or trolls ruining your game.

What You’ll Need:

Before you start make sure you have:

  • Minecraft server file from the official site

You can use Windows Mac or even Linux. Just make sure your system can handle the server load if your planning to play with many players.

Steps to Create Your Server:

  1. Download the Minecraft server .jar file from the official site
  2. Place it in a new folder where all server files will be stored
  3. Run the .jar file to generate config files
  4. Edit the eula.txt file and change false to true
  5. Run the server again to start it
  6. Share your IP with frends so they can join

You might need to port forward if others are joining from outside your WiFi.

Keep It Safe

Use whitelist and OP commands carefully. Don't give operator access to just anyone. Always back up your world data so you don’t lose your progress.
