Setting up a Java Minecraft server means you’ll have your little corner of the Minecraft world where you can invite friends, build together, and set your own rules. Sounds cool, right? Let’s dive into how to get this up and running.
Step-by-Step Guide to Create a Java Minecraft Server
First things first, you’ll need a computer that can handle running a Minecraft server. This doesn’t mean you need a supercomputer, but you should have a machine that can manage the game and the server software at the same time.
Next, download the Minecraft server software from the official Minecraft website. Make sure to choose the version that matches the one you and your friends play on. Once downloaded, create a dedicated folder for your server files to keep everything organized. Run the server software, which will generate some configuration files. Open the eula.txt file, change eula=false to eula=true, and save. This is your agreement to the end-user license agreement. Finally, run the server software again to start your server.
