How to Make a Private Minecraft Server for You and Your Friends
Last updated
Ever wondered how to create your very own private Minecraft server to play with your friends? We’ve got you covered!
Setting up a private Minecraft server might sound like wizardry, but it’s actually quite straightforward. Let’s dive into the specifics.
Creating Your Private Minecraft Haven
To start, you’ll need either a computer or a dedicated server to host the game. If you’re planning on just playing with a few friends, your home computer should do the trick. Just make sure it’s relatively powerful.
Next up, download the server file from Minecraft’s official website. Run the server file, which will generate some files, including the all-important eula.txt. Open this file, change the line eula=false to eula=true, and you’re halfway there.
Customize Your World
With the server running, you can start customizing your world. Decide on the game mode, difficulty, and any specific rules you’d like. Remember, it’s your world, so you call the shots!
To keep your server private, you’ll need to invite your friends by sharing your server’s IP address. If you’re playing from home, this will be your home’s IP address. For added security, consider setting up a whitelist to ensure only your invited friends can join.
