Last updated
Ever wondered how you can host your own Minecraft server for you and your friends to play on? Let’s jump right in and find out!
If you’re looking to have a Minecraft world where you and your friends can play together, then hosting a server is the way to go. But how do you do it? Let’s break it down.
Steps to Host Your Minecraft Server
First off, you need a computer that can run Minecraft and the server software. The better the computer, the smoother your Minecraft world will run. Next, download the Minecraft server software from the official Minecraft website. It’s completely safe and free!
Once you’ve downloaded the server software, run it on your computer. You’ll have to agree to the EULA, and then the server will start. Now, your server is up, but it’s only accessible to you. To invite friends, you need to find your public IP address and give it to them. They can then join your server using this IP address. Remember, running a server can be tough on your computer, so make sure it’s powerful enough!
