Get a FREE Minecraft Server with Minefort! Tutorial + Review

Everybody these days wants to run a free Minecraft server for their friends so today I’m going to be showing you how to run a completely free Minecraft server on mine Fort what’s cool about mine Fort is that it’s like one giant Network that allows players to connect to any server

Using SLS server and then the server name to join that server it’s very similar to mine Hut if you’ve ever used that but mine Fort allows cracked players while mine Hut doesn’t we’ll be comparing both M Hut and mine Fort later in the video where I give my review I

Made a video on mine Fort a while ago but it’s changed quite a bit then so I thought I’d make an updated tutorial on it anyways if you subscribe I’ll do the fortnite default dance on stream and let’s get your server set up and ready to play all right so the first thing

That you’ll want to do is head to the first link in the description and that will take you here to mine for so we want to go to get started free and now we want to type in our email address make sure you own this email because you

Will have to verify it soon so we want to then set a password and we need to confirm it click yes and write and agree to their terms of service and and then click on this and now we need to activate our account so you’ll want to

Head to your email and you should see one right here if you don’t see it in your inbox you’ll want to go to your all mail or your spam folder but it was in my inbox for me so we can just click on verify my email

Address and there we go our email has been verified so now we need to create our server we can either choose the default server or the template server so these are actually kind of cool we got creative plots Sky Block sky grid parkour spiral hard core SMP or creative

Void so even if you don’t decide to go with mine for you can use these templates you can just make a server for all of these and then get their free templates we’re just going to go with the default server so that way we can customize it however we’d like and we

Can make our server name whatever we want so we want to click on we agree to the Minecraft EA this will accept the EA txt for you so we can go ahead and either start or server but first I want to show you some of the things on their

Panel so over here we have our connect support so we can allow crack and Bedrock so this hosting has crack support mine Hut doesn’t so that’s kind of where you can draw the line on if you want to use mine for or M Hut so we will

Allow crack our server appearance so we can change your server name if you don’t like whatever we want we can set our server motd you can choose your icon I only have the default icon because I’m on the free plan and we can choose if we want

This to show up to all the random players in the mind for Lobby or if you want to make it so it’s invisible and only people that know the server name can join it so we can choose a category here I’m just going to go with default because I’m a

Default plugins we have a little plug-in installer right here if you don’t know how to install plugins we can make backups we only have one backup though but that’s still nice that they give you at least one backup here’s our file manager but for larger files you want to

Use an FTP I probably should make a video about how to do that and over here we have their shop so you can buy a different icon for your server if you want there’s one over here for $150 I don’t know why you would do that

I guess you just don’t like money but I mean if you really want that then go right ahead buy that I’m definitely not going to be buying that anytime soon though and over here we can upgrade our server so if you want a little bit more

Than the free plan because like the free plan is not 24/7 so you can upgrade to the cottage plan for $6 a month which is pretty cheap you know and thinking about you’ll be getting all those players so it might be worth it and you can have more

Players you can have more RAM so I mean it might be worth it it’s up to you but definitely give this hosting a try before you decide to purchase that that’s why they have free servers it’s like a free trial so now we want to go ahead and start our server up wow

Watching this console is so much fun a few moments later okay now our server has started up so we can type some commands like PL to see our plugins that we have installed so we have mine Fort cosmetics and Via version this mine Fort Cosmetics is all their Cosmetics so you

Can’t disable it unless you’re on a Premium plan but honestly I don’t know why you’d want to disable it and then we have via version which basically means that we can join on versions that are newer than the server version so we can do slash or just version to viewr

Version which is pufferfish 1.20.1 pufferfish is a fork of paper that is a little bit more optimized so that means that we’re going to be getting like the most out of our server resources that we can so now to join our server we can copy our IP all right so to join our

Server we want to click on multiplayer and then we can click on ADD server we can change the server name to whatever we want you can just change it to like that if you want to and then we can put in we can paste our server address with

Crl +v and then click done scroll all the way to the bottom and now we can join it and here we go we are in our free Minecraft server it’s very plain but we chose default so now you can like do whatever you want to This Server make

It like the next Hypixel or something so now we can join our server from the M hot Lobby so you’ll want to connect to play. mine.com or just mine for for.com and you can do/ server and then your server name which is whatever we want and there we go we’re back in our

Server again okay so to prove this works on Minecraft Bedrock we can go click on Play click on servers and then we want to scroll all the way to bottom click add server we can set the server name wherever we want mfort play. mine for.com is the server

Address and then leave the port as 19132 click on Save here it is right here click join server whenever you see locate server you know that’s usually a good thing you know and here we are but for some reason these look like purple I feel like that’s because I was like

Testing with texture packs and I failed but yeah now we can do slash server whatever we want and here we go we’re back in whatever we want again at all so now that you’ve seen how this hosting Works you’re probably like what the heck does crafted Cy think

About this hosting well to start off I like how simple it is to get your server started up no annoying Discord verification not too many ads and a very clean and easy to understand UI I also really like the free templates that they give you and as for if the server lags

Or not the first time I joined the chunks took a while to load in but after that it seemed to be fine now as always free servers are typically run on weaker Hardware than premium servers so if you can afford it I would definitely recommend upgrading to the cottage

Option because you will be able to make your server 24/7 and you’ll have a lot better performance from your server and now to the debate between mine Hut and mine Fort which it’s really up to you I made a video on mine Hut a while back

And I also made a video where I compared both mine Hut and mine for so go check those out but the main takeway from that video was that mine Fort is a lot smaller than M Hut meaning that you can top the charts on mine Fort a lot easier

Than you can competing with all those massive servers on mine Hut but what do you guys think let me know in the comments what you think about mine for or if there’s another free hosting that you prefer and while you’re down there make sure to subscribe so I’ll have to

Do the fortnite default dance on stream but until next time I will see you on the other side happy crafting fortnite default dance
