TroubleChute – How to: Set up a 1.18.1+ Fabric Minecraft Server | High Performance | 1.18+

What’s up my name is tech number here for troubleshoot and welcome back to another quick video in this video i’ll be showing you how to set up a 1.18 minecraft fabric server in the description down below you’ll find a link to a spigot and craft bucket video

As well as other 1.18 videos i’ve done so to begin first of all you’ll need to download fabric in the description down below you’ll find a link to this website here all you have to do here is click download installer on the right hand side here to download the windows fabric

Installer on top of this we’ll also need the fabric api to which you’ll find a link right over here click this link and it’ll take us across to curseforge on this page here simply click files at the very top then scroll down a little bit and make sure you download the latest

Release for 1.18 fabric api 1.18 download after clicking keep if prompted all we have to do is open up the installer i’ll click more info run anyway and we’ll now be installing the fabric server and fabric client so on the client tab i’ll choose minecraft 1.18 leave the loader version as the

Latest version and basically everything else as is create profile on and i’ll click install if you have more than one launcher installed you’ll see this here you can choose either the microsoft store or the standalone depending which launcher you have i’ll choose the microsoft store as this is the one that

I’m currently using you can always click install and choose the other one as well after installing the client head across the server tab at the very top and we’ll change the install location here to a folder that we have in a more memorable place such as a folder on our desktop

Here which i’ll call fabric 1.18 i’ll simply open the folder and at the very top i’ll copy this address then ctrl a to select everything in here ctrl v to paste and click install this way we’ll be downloading and setting up the fabric server in this folder here

When we see this pop-up saying it’s successfully been installed click download server jar if it says no valid server jar found and right below it will find a useless command to start the server all you want to do is click generate over here and then click done

And close out of the installer inside of this folder here we have our server set up before we continue with the server setup you need to open up a new file browser click at the very top and type percentage app data percentage and i’ll be heading into dot minecraft inside of

Here open the mods folder if you have this otherwise click new folder and create a folder called mods when it opens up all you have to do is drag the fabric api jar that we downloaded into here now we can close out of the mods folder as we’re done setting up the

Client it’s a good idea to remove previous fabric jars if you have them in that folder now heading back to the server folder over here let’s get to setting up our server all you have to do is right click start dot bat and click

Edit or of course you can open it in a text editor like notepad all that we’re going to do here is look at xmx this is the maximum amount of ram that your server can take all you have to do is adjust this to better suit your computer

Hold ctrl shift and escape to open up your task manager and head across to the performance tab at the very top the memory section over here is how much ram you have in your computer you’ll see the total in the top right and over here in use is what you’re currently using as

Well as available what you’re going to want to do is try and give the server as much as possible while leaving space for everything that’s running on your computer right now plus minecraft plus maybe a web browser or two and then a bit of extra space on top of it for

Windows and other programs to work properly this remaining amount of space that we haven’t yet used is what you can allocate to the minecraft server anything from two gigabytes and upwards is usually okay but the more you add to your server the more it’s able to do and

Handle and the better performance you’ll get from it because i have a ludicrous amount of ram in my computer i’ll set this to about 8g the capital g standing for gigabytes so at this point save this file close it and simply double-click start.bat if you see an error about java

Here you’ll need to go ahead and make sure that you have the correct version of java 17 or above installed you’ll find a link in the description down below for that anyways wait until it runs through to completion and then hit any key to continue to close it you’ll

Now see a whole bunch of new files here what you need to do is double click on euler.txt and we’ll be changing false to true hit ctrl s to save and we can close out of the end user license agreement now we can go ahead and customize our

Server as we see fit inside of the server.properties file over here which you can simply open with a program like notepad you’ll see things like server port over here which you may want to change if you’re running more than one minecraft server on your computer do

Keep in mind that you’ll need to make a note of that for later on when you get to port forwarding if you’re gonna play with friends outside of your local wi-fi network so let’s go ahead and download some fabric mods unfortunately my go-to mod of world edit isn’t working for this

As it hasn’t updated to 1.18 so i’ll need to go ahead and search for 1.18 fabric specific mods and of course some of these are client-side only unfortunately i seem to be out of luck with picking a mod that works as this was literally released today that’s fine

For now i’ll leave this as is usually when you’re downloading a mod head across to the files section and make sure that you’re downloading a fabric compatible version of the mod and of course remembering that some mods are client-side some are server-side and some are both you’ll need to look out

For fabric here as some of them are same for jointly when you do download a 1.18 compatible mod or fabric of course all you have to do is simply make sure to click keep and then drag the mod into your mods folder over here to install it

Then all you have to do is restart your server by closing it and running start.bat once again of course if you like you can delete start.sh as we won’t be using that file from here your server is now starting up and you should be

Able to join it in just a moment for now i’ll fire up the minecraft launcher i’ll select fabric 1.18 where i could have mods installed play understand play and all we have to do is head across the multiplayer tab click add a server and under server address enter localhost or simply127.0.0.1

Click done and your server should now be here we can double click to connect to it and you’ll see this chat window on the left hand side updating as i’m talking and playing in the server now of course i’d usually give a demo of world edit here but unfortunately that

Doesn’t work for 1.18 quite just yet anyways we’re now connected and playing on our 1.18 fabric server inside of 1.18 fabric awesome so now you want a couple of your friends to join what do we need to do well it’s relatively simple depending on how you’re set up if you’re

Trying to play with a friend inside of the same network as you all you have to do is give them your computer’s ip address and make sure you don’t have a firewall blocking the game server from the internet if they’re outside of your local connection then you’ll need to go

Ahead and port forward minecraft usually the port is 25565 but i did show you how to change that earlier you’ll find a link in the description below with a guide on how to do that assuming they’re on the same network as you or you’d just like to

Figure out your computer’s ip to port forward to it simply hold start and press r then type in cmd hit enter and inside of here type ipconfig and hit enter once again then look for the way you’re connected to the internet in my case it’s ethernet adapter ethernet and

This ip address here is your computer’s local ip address this is what someone on the same wi-fi network will type in to connect to your server and of course if they’re playing outside of your local network you have to port forward 25565 or whatever it is to this ip address

Here on your router if you have multiple routers you’ll need to port forward one to another all the way down the chain to your computer it’s quite a big process but of course i’ve made it nice and simple with the link and the guide in the description down below something i

Forgot to mention is that when you’re done playing inside of the server console the bike window type save hyphen all in order to save all the players inventories the world etc etc and only then once that’s complete you’re able to close the server by typing stop stop and

Hitting enter this way you’ll safely bring your server to a close and you won’t risk losing any data corruption etc etc but regardless that’s about it for this quick guide on setting up and joining your own minecraft 1.18 fabric server thank you all for watching my name has been technobaby here for

Troubleshoot and i’ll see you all next time ciao
