Last updated
Ever wondered how to dive into the endless world of Minecraft with your friends? Well, you’re in the right place! We’re here to talk about how to create a multiplayer Minecraft server.
Setting up a multiplayer server in Minecraft allows you and your friends to play together in the same world. Let’s break down how to do this, so you can start your adventure!
The Quick Answer to Setting Up a Minecraft Server
Creating a multiplayer Minecraft server involves a few steps. First, you need to download the Minecraft server software from the official Minecraft website. Choose the version that matches your Minecraft edition and download it to your computer.
Next, run the server software, which will generate game files. Before your friends can join, you’ll need to configure the server by editing the server.properties file. Make sure you agree to the EULA by changing eula=false to eula=true in the eula.txt file. Lastly, share your server’s IP address with your friends, and they can join your world!
How to Invite Friends to Your Minecraft Server
After your server is up and running, and you’ve configured the settings to your liking, it’s time to invite your pals. Share your server’s public IP address with them. They can then add your server by selecting “Multiplayer” in their Minecraft client, clicking “Add Server,” and entering your IP address.
To keep your server safe and fun, only share the server details with people you trust. That way, you can all enjoy building, exploring, and adventuring together without any worries.
