2. Navigate to the ‘Download’ section and select the ‘Minecraft: Java Edition Server’ download.
3. Save the server file in a dedicated folder.
4. Run the server file to start the server.
5. Agree to the EULA that appears by editing the EULA.txt file and changing “false” to “true”.
6. Restart the server, and voilà, your Minecraft server is live!
Keep in mind, running a server does require some technical know-how, especially when it comes to configuring game settings and managing players. But don’t worry – the Minecraft community is vast and helpful, full of guides and forums for any questions you might have.
