How To Use Microsoft Azure To Host A Minecraft Server

If you've ever been interested, here is a way to set up your own Minecraft Server using Microsoft Azure. Depending on what you use to play Minecraft, such as Windows 10 PCs or Macs, there are many reasons why you might choose to use Microsoft Azure to host Minecraft Servers instead of your own.



Here's a list of some:



- You can choose a preconfigured Minecraft server virtual machine to launch from the Azure Marketplace - no installation required. - Choose from a range of a VM sizes to meet your performance and cost requirements. You can choose between limiting your home network access and exposing your home network network to the internet by running a server on your personal machine. Avoid hardware costs by only purchasing a virtual machine when you use it. You can then shut it down when it is not. Whitelist trusted players to connect from anywhere without wrestling with firewalls and port forwarding. Azure Storage Service provides disks that are backed up by Azure Storage Service, so you don't have to worry about losing data or hardware failure. - You can delete the whole thing and then deploy another one if it goes down. You can start over from where you left off if your world is backed up from time to time.



Now that you understand the benefits of Azure, let us take a look at how to set-up your Minecraft Server.



1. Buy Minecraft and set up a Mojang account. You need these in order to play Minecraft and to be successful in actually setting up a Minecraft Server.



2. Get a Microsoft Azure account. Minecraft server list You can get a trial for free and some credits to your first month of Microsoft Azure.



3. Select the Minecraft Server Virtual Machine from the Azure Marketplace.



4. Click "Create Virtual Machine".



5. Next, log in and click "Create"



6. Here, you'll have to do some important configuration steps (some are optional):



You will need to choose a name for your server. This will be name.cloudapp.net.



7. Click "Create" to have Azure create your Minecraft Server (May take several minutes to finish, so hang tight!)



8. After that's done, your Minecraft server will be ready. In order to connect to your server in Minecraft, use the URL and Port 25565 like this: Minecraftservername.cloudapp.net:25565



9. You might receive an error message telling to update your Minecraft server if Minecraft is not up-to-date. Update your Minecraft Server with the most recent version.



10. You can log into your server to update and manage other settings using SSH (available only on Linux or Mac), or PuTTY (available only on Windows). Bash and SSH will be coming to Windows 10 later this summer in the Windows 10 Anniversary Update.



11. After logging into your Minecraft server with you username and password, go to the folder of your Minecraft Server "cd /srv/minecraft_server".



12. Use CURL to download the latest Minecraft server version. Currently, this would be "sudo curl -remote-name ttps://s3.amazonaws.com/Minecraft.Download/versions/1.10/minecraft_server.1.10.jar". This is the link to download the latest server version.



13. You can edit the ops.json file while you are logged in to our server by placing it in the correct folder. You can edit the file using nano like this: "sudo nano ops.json". Use your Minecraft username and unique ID to edit the file. Find your Minecraft unique ID here.



[ "uuid": "uuid", "name": "minecraft_username", "level": 4 ]



14. Save the file now. Save the file using CTRL + o and exit Nano with CTRL + + x. To manage various configuration settings on your server, you can also edit "server.properties". The Minecraft Wiki provides more information on your Minecraft server properties.



15. In order to use the current version of Minecraft Server that you downloaded, you need to edit the service configuration using Nano like this: "sudo nano /etc/systemd/system/minecraft-server.service". You will need to reference the new version of the Minecraft Server here (see below).



16. Now all you have left to do is save the file, and exit Nano.



17. Next, stop and restart Minecraft Server. You may also have to reload systemd before using "systemctl-daemonreload". To restart the service, run "systemctl restart mincraft-server".



18. It may take a few minutes for the service to restart once you've done that. You can then restart the service in your Minecraft client.



19. Hooray! Congratulations!
