Hosting your Own Minecraft Server Minecraft Server

Mojang allows players to host their own Minecraft servers using the server JAR file. By hosting your own Minecraft server, you have the ability to change the settings of the server and play with other players.



The first thing you'll need to do is open the command prompt to determine what version of Java is installed on your system. You can just install the latest version, but using the command "java version" will enable you to verify that you're running Java 7.



Lastbut not least, download Minecraft_Server.exe. This will launch the JAR file inside Windows with the appropriate parameters. The official Minecraft website has the download.



If you wish to change the allotted RAM (server memory) you can create a batch file which will launch the Minecraft_Server.exe. Simply open Notepad and copy the following code:



64bit



"C:Program Files (x86)Javajre7binjavaw.exe" -Xms1024m -Xmx1024m -jar "Minecraft_Server.exe"



32bit



"C:Program FilesJavajre7binjavaw.exe" -Xms1024m -Xmx1024m -jar "Minecraft_Server.exe"



Replace 1024 by the amount of RAM you wish to provide your server in megabytes. Then save the file as "start.bat". Google can be used to perform gigabyte-togigabyte calculations. The moment you open this file, it will start your server.



Once you have your server up and running, you and your friends to the same network can join the server by opening the Minecraft client and connecting to the server's IP "localhost". If you want to play with friends online You must port forward your router in order that outside connections can connect to your server. Hamachi, which is a program that gives you a public address can also be installed. Some forums This is a complicated process, and most internet connections for residential use are not able to handle large amounts of users online.



To begin configuring your server you need to open the server.porperties file that was created when you first launched your Minecraft server. The server.porperties file contains the basic settings for your server. After making any edits you must shut down the server and then restart it to ensure that the changes take effect. A file called ops.txt will be found within the server's folder. This text file allows for you to list all the users who are required to have administrative privileges on your server. Save the file and then restart the server once you have entered your username. Your banned-players.txt is a useful tool to stop fraudulent users. The whitelist.txt file can be used to block players other than those listed.
