How to Host A Minecraft Server

Minecraft is a well-known open-world game that you can play solo or in a multiplayer. You will need to rent or host a server to play the game multiplayer. Hosting a server is generally more beneficial since it can be cheaper than renting. If you'd like to host your server, here are steps to follow.



Download the program



You can download the minecraft program from the minecraft website and save it on your computer.



Before you download the program, ensure that your computer is compatible. It is essential to make sure that your computer has enough RAM and a powerful CPU.



You need the most recent version of Java to run minecraft. Java is not usually pre-installed on computers running Windows. You'll need to download it from the java website.



Mac computers usually come with Java installed and update automatically. You can download the most recent Java version from the Java website in the event that your Mac does not have it.



Prepare the program for use



After you have downloaded Minecraft it is time to prepare it to use it. If you're using Windows computer, you will only have to double-click the file you saved the game to. Double-clicking will bring up an interface window that contains a series messages.



If you're using a Mac computer, you'll need to create a command file. You do this by opening TextEdit and then, from the format menu, choose 'make plain text'.



You should then copy the instruction: '#!/bin/bash cd "$(dirname "$0")" exec java -Xmx1G -Xms1G -jar minecraft_server.jar' then save the file in the same file that you had saved the downloaded minecraft.



Customize the way that you would like to play the game



This can be done by accessing the server's property file. You can do this with a notepad in windows or TextEdit in MacOs. After setting the settings then save the settings.



For example, if you want to play the game in survival mode, you must leave the game mode setting at zero. However, if you want to play the game in creative mode, you must set the game mode to 'I'.
What about


Choose who will be able to play the game



In this case, you will only need to edit the white-list file by adding the usernames for each player that you would want to access the server. To save, enter the username after each one.



Find your public IP address.



This is the address you give to anyone who wants to connect to the server, but he/she is outside your immediate network. It is easy to find the IP address by performing an internet search using an argument such "what is my IP"
