How to Host a Server on Minecraft: A Simple Guide
Last updated
Ever wondered how you can host your own server on Minecraft? You’re in the right place! This guide will break down the steps to get you started on your own Minecraft adventure with friends.
So, you’re looking to create a world where you and your friends can play together in Minecraft? That means you’ll need to set up your own server. Let’s dive into how you can make that happen.
Setting Up Your Minecraft Server
To host a server in Minecraft, you’ll first need to download the server file from Minecraft’s official website. Choose the server file that matches the version of Minecraft you want to play. Once downloaded, run the file to start the server setup.
Next, you’ll have to edit a file called server.properties to customize your game settings. You can decide who can join, what mode you play in, and more. Remember to agree to the EULA by editing the eula.txt file and changing false to true.
Inviting Friends to Your Minecraft Server
After setting up your server, it’s time to invite friends. You’ll need to provide them with your server’s IP address. If you’re playing with friends over the internet, you might need to set up port forwarding on your router or consider using a service like Hamachi for a virtual LAN network.
Ensure your server is running, and your friends can join by entering your IP address in their Minecraft game. Now, you’re all set to embark on your Minecraft adventures together!
