How To Create A FREE Minecraft Bedrock Server

This server is totally free and powerful enough for a BedrockServer. In comparison, a similar amount ram costs $5 per Month.



Follow this link to Oracle Cloud Services website https://www.oracle.com/cloud/sign-in.html? Is it tho intcmp



Oracle Cloud Services



Click "Sign Up"



3.



Sign up



Verify your email.



Enter your details and click "Start my free trial"



Unless you opt to, you won’t be charged.



Next we need to create a virtual machine to run the Server



Fill in the fields as shown



Scroll down to the section 'Image and shape'. Make sure that "Canonical Ubuntu 20.04" is selected, then check that the shape is set to AMD VM.Standard.E2.1.Micro



Note: The pre-set shape may not work with Ubuntu. To change the Image, simply switch the shape to one that does.



Next, we will need to select a virtual clouds network (VCN). If you have an existing VCN that has a public subnet, select it. If you do not have an existing VCN with a public subnet, choose 'Create another virtual cloud network'. Then, choose 'Create a public subnet' and accept the default names. Next, ensure that you have selected 'Assign A Public IPv4 Address'. Without this, you will not be able connect to this server over the internet. ).



Now we need the "SSH" key pair to be associated with this VM. If you're familiar with this concept and already have a public key that you want to use, choose 'Upload public key files' and upload your public key. These keys can be thought of as unique identifiers that will allow you to securely log into your server. Click "Generate SSH key pairing" to save your public and private keys to your local machine. These keys will be used in a short time to log in the VM.



You will need your Private Key to log in later so don’t lose it.



Click 'Create' to leave the default boot volume settings.



Click 'Create' to be redirected the VM details pages. Your VM instance is now in a PROVISIONING condition.



After about 30-60 seconds, the state will switch from RUNNING to RUNNING. Find your public IP address and copy it.



Next, we need to open ports to allow players to access the server.



Next, click Add Ingress Rules



We need to connect to our VM remotely in order to install the Minecraft software. If you are not familiar with SSH, I recommend that you first read up on it



Powershell is a good choice if you're on Windows. Open Powershell and type this: powershell -i (filepath to your private keys) ubuntu@ (VM ip addresses)



BEFORE: This is where you should research how to secure your private key file.



This is what it looks like when you succeed in logging into your vm



Next, you will need multiple programs installed to get started.



These commands are to be used:



sudo apt-get install firewalld



These commands will enable firewall access and screen to ensure that your server is running after you have finished it.



Next, enter powershell during your ssh session



sudo firewall cmd --permanent -zone=public --addport=19132/tcp



sudo firewall-cmd --permanent --zone=public --add-port=19132/udp



sudo firewall cmd --reload



Then:



sudo su - Minecraft



mkdir Bedrock



wget https://minecraft.azureedge.net/bin-linux/bedrock-server-1.17.2.01.zip -O server.zip



unzip server.zip



rmserver.zip



If necessary visit https://www.minecraft.net/en-us/download/server/bedrock and check the latest download link and substitute it.



Then, execute these commands:



chmod +x./bedrock_server



This will start the server.



LD_LIBRARY_PATH=. ./bedrock_server



You can connect to your server now using the VM's IP and the standard Port, the name is irrelevant.



However, if you close your terminal, your server will stop. To stop your server, type "stop" or close your window, and then log in again (note: you'll need these commands again sudo su- Minecraft).



cd Bedrock



Type screen into the box and hit enter.



Next, run this command: LD_LIBRARY_PATH=. ./bedrock_server



You should now have a functioning bedrock server, with 1 gb ram, and 1 xenon core, good for atleast 20 players. You can also do this for Java servers by clicking this link.
