How To Set Up A Minecraft Shared Server

Minecraft has consolidated its legacy among gamers by creating a game world that encourages creativity. One of the great things about Minecraft is playing with friends in a shared world. Although hosting your own server can be a hassle, anyone can set up a Minecraft server with a Windows computer and an internet connection.

It will take some code changes and downloads to set up your server. GAME SERVERS This guide will show you how to set up and fine tune a Minecraft server in no time.



Minecraft Server Setup



Any Minecraft Server needs the latest version of Java, so make sure you have the latest version of Java 7 installed. Once finished, download Minecraft Server.exe from Minecraft.net and save it into a dedicated folder, like C:MinecraftSharedServer.



Run the server app, which will open an interface. After the "Preparing for spawn area" messages have been completed, a line that says "Done" will appear. Enter "stop", and hit the Enter key. Your Minecraft world has been created. Now it's time to configure it.



Minecraft Server Settings



You should see two files named "server" in the directory where you saved Minecraft_Server.exe. One of these files will be listed under the properties file. Right-click the file and choose Edit to open in Notepad. You'll see a listing of server settings followed with an equal sign and a number. You can change many things about Minecraft by changing the values. While most of the default values are fine, there are some you might want to change.



Gamemode - This setting is for the type of world you and your friends wish to play. The default value of this setting is 0, which will allow you to survive in basic survival mode. Changing this value to 1 will change your server to creative mode. Difficulty - Difficulty is clear in its name. The values can vary from 0 (peaceful), up to 3 (3 (hard), depending upon what you're playing on. White-list: This is to prevent others from accessing your server. This is important if your goal is to keep your server private between friends. Back in your Minecraft server folder, you'll see another file called white-list, right-click it and open the file with Notepad to make your white-list username list. Your Minecraft username will be the first player you add. Hit enter and add each friend's usernames in their own lines. Save the file.


Configuring your Router to Minecraft



Any player directly connected to your router will probably be able to see your server over the network. But if some of your friends will be playing from their own house, you'll have to configure the router so that it forwards port 25575 (TCP) to the server. This step requires a bit of know-how, but only takes a few minutes.



Once you have everything set up to receive external connections, start your server again by running Minecraft_Server.exe. You'll also need to Google "what is my ip" if you don't already know it. This is the IP address other players will use to connect to your server.



That's it. You have created a community for you and your friend to enjoy. Keep checking the Minecraft site for updates. Enjoy your time building together.
