How to make your own Valhelsia Modded Minecraft Server on Windows!

I personally think that people spend a lot longer on introductions on youtube than are necessary in this video i’m going to show you exactly two things number one i’m going to show you how to set up a valhager server for modded minecraft entirely by yourself dedicated

Just for you and your friends and then secondly i’m going to give you a little bit of information about what you can do if you don’t think that your computer can quite handle the resource intensiveness of a server and running the client side of a modpack at the

Exact same time so let’s get into it since this video has no sponsor i wanted to take a quick second to tell you a little bit about a project that i’ve been working on every single video on my youtube channel that has done even remotely well has either been centered

Around my home lab or around minecraft and because of that i started thinking what could i do to combine these two subjects and provide something to you the viewer that would actually be valuable the more i thought about it the more i realized that it could potentially be relatively difficult for

Somebody to run both a dedicated server and the client side of a modpack at the exact same time and so i realized already have the hardware thanks to my home lab to be able to run a whole bunch of these servers at the same time so why

Not set them up and just let you guys use them i currently have my main vanilla server and 15 modded minecraft servers up and running right now but by the end of this i plan to have well over 150 total servers running at once the goal of this project is simply to allow

Friends to be able to play with each other on a server without one of them having to take the incredible performance hit of actually having to run that server for themselves again this is totally free so please feel free to share the server information with whoever you think might actually use it

Okay back to the video step number one in installing any sort of dedicated server is getting the server files the easiest way to do that for valhesia is by downloading a program called curseforge easiest way to download curseforge is by going to google and searching for curseforge

It’s going to be the first link that you have up here this link will also be down in the description below all you have to do is click the download button right here it will download curseforge and you can install it i already have it installed so we’ll skip over that part

Once you have cursed forge installed if you open it up you’re going to usually see something like this you won’t have the mod packs that i have in here right now saved but you can go to browse mod packs and then you can search for valhesia for this particular one we’re

Going to be doing valhesia 3. so if you click on valhesia 3 in between the three dots and the play button there’s going to be a little icon in here that you use for downloading the server pack we’re going to click that and it’s going to

Open up a new window and then start to download the files i would highly recommend putting these files in their own folder as if you start setting up more than one modded minecraft server it can get really cluttered very quickly and so it’s having some sort of folder

Structure to organize everything can be important so once you have all of the data downloaded go ahead and copy that information and then paste it in the folder that you just created i have had a valheager server on here before so i went ahead and saved that information

Under the old folder you will have everything but that folder when you download your server pack all right so once you’ve got to this point the next step is going to be to install java now for this particular modpack i believe we’re going to need java 11. the easiest

Way to do that is literally just to go to chrome again and search for java 11 download okay so now that we have java installed we should be able to come back here double click the server start perfect so once you have everything in the folder you’re gonna see a batch

Script down here that’s called server start so we’re gonna go ahead and double click that and that should start everything up now what this is gonna do is it’s going to start downloading everything else that you need for the server to run it’s going to be a lot of

Just the mod packs things like that it’s also going to download the mojang end user license agreement which you’ll have to accept prior to actually running the server you’ll know this is done when you can click press any key to continue and then it’ll close itself out so next what

We need to do is we’re going to run it again and it’s going to actually try to start the server up this time and it should actually start the server up just like this so from here it’s actually starting to like install everything create everything make the world uh put

Together your server properties folder uh everything like that uh so like it says here you’ll need to accept the mojang end user license agreement which is a file that gets created by that last step so you create it you’ll come in here you’ll change the false to true

You’ll save it close out of it and then you can run it again what i’d like to do first is change a couple things on the server properties file um i particularly like to lower my max players to eight it’s also important to note the the port that your your server

Is running on we will talk a little bit about that later in regards to port forwarding and then i like to change this which is the subtext underneath the title that the user sets for the multiplayer server i like to set it to john’s server just so people know

That it’s mine so we’ll save that and then we will click the server start again and this is actually going to start your server up for the first time so after this point you will be able to join your server so once this finishes running your friends that are

Not on your local network won’t actually be able to join it yet because you’ll have to like we just talked about do port forwarding on your router and i really wish that there was just some simple way to like say hey follow these steps and then this will do it for

Everybody right there’s really not and and the reason for that is because everybody’s got a different router and every set of steps for each router is different to accomplish that goal so what i would highly recommend doing is doing a google search or search on youtube to try to find a video

For how to put forward for your specific router follow those steps for port 25565 and then that’ll set up port forwarding for minecraft for the server so now you’ve got the server running it’s starting up right now for us if you get port forwarding done then all your

Friends will have to do is also download curseforge the same steps that we went through before but instead of having to click the button between the dots and pl uh and install they will just have to click the install button and then the play button in order to open up the server

And and and play on it the only other thing that they will need once you have port forwarding set up is your public ip address which will allow them to join your server the public ip address is incredibly easy to find all you have to

Do is go to the computer that the server is running on and type in in chrome or firefox what is my public ip and the first link there will almost always tell you exactly what it is so you can copy that send it as a discord message send

It over text whatever you need to do for your public ip to get that to your friends and that’s what they’ll put in the address on the minecraft multiplayer server so there you have it we have a working server you’ve set up port forwarding your friends have the

Instructions for how to set up their modded minecraft clients so that they can join your server through your public ip the only thing that i would always recommend doing is making yourself a server operator on a server that you’re running and in order to do that all you

Have to do is do forward slash op space whatever your username is in minecraft and there you go i’m now a server operator on here i can make decisions for how i want the server to operate and how we want it to run so there you have

It you have a working valhager server your friends can join it and you can play together with them on it now again like we talked about earlier if you find yourself in the position where you can’t actually run a full-fledged server and your client at the same time to be able

To play on your server i would strongly recommend clicking the link down in the description below to go to my discord we have a free valhashr server that you can your friends can join at any point in time we maintain it we update it we make sure everything’s working well on it if
