1. Download and install Java Java
You can download the most recent version of Java from Oracle.
2. Download the offical Minecraft Server
This is minecraft.net's download page.
3. Make a folder to store your minecraft server
The folder can be named and placed wherever you'd like. It should be easy to locate and simple. I like calling the folder minecraft-server, and then putting it in my home/User folder.
4. Install your minecraft server folder
Transfer the downloaded server.jar file into the minecraft folder.
On Windows: create an entirely new file called run.bat. Windows: Create a batch file (.bat).
Create a new file called run.sh on MacOS / Linux
Edit the file and set the text to be your default text.
5. Create your server and accept the EULA
With your run file created Let's start the server.
Windows Double-click on your run.bat folder
MacOS / Linux: Open the terminal in your minecraft folder and enter bash./run.sh.
The command line should display logs. The folder for your Minecraft server should now be populated with new files. Find and open the file eual.txt and replace eula=false with eula=true.
6. Connect and run to your server
Now with the eula accepted running your server again following the same method in 5.. Open Minecraft and try direct connecting using 127.0.0.1:25565. Check that your server is working If you're unable to connect. If everything is fine and you're unsure of the reason you're not able to connect, you can ask for assistance on our discord.
7. Make your server public
You are now able to connect to your server locally, let's make it public so that friends can join. Go to MCLIJST.NL .
