Hey there i’m harvey from elixir node and today i’m going to be showing you the basics on how to run a successful minecraft server We’re going to be going through five topics choosing the game mode choosing the hosting creating the server and finding players to play on your server for step one you’re going to have to choose the game modes there are many game modes to choose from when you create your minecraft server but it’s Important to know which game modes are trending for your server to get maximum popularity however popularity isn’t everything so i’d recommend that you choose a game mode that you truly have a passion for and base it around that it will help you so much more in the long Run there are many popular game modes such as factions creative survival skybox prisons and mini-games however for this tutorial i’m going to be creating a faction server which by the way we also have a separate tutorial and a website guide for which you can find in the description which shows you how To set up a basic faction server for 1.8 if you’d like to find out more about these game modes that i listed a second ago head into this article down below or read them from on screen now okay so for step two you’re going to choose your hosting When you choose what type of hosting and which type of hosting plan you’re going to have it’s important to know what type of server you’re running you need to take into consideration how many plugins you’ll have and how many players will be playing and many more things here at elixir node we offer Dedicated hosting and minecraft server hosting so the typical person our dedicated hosting may seem a bit expensive however we recommend that you use dedicated servers when your server starts to make enough money which will be typically around 30 to 50 and above consistent players otherwise for now i Recommend that you use our minecraft server hosting which i will be using today when you create your minecraft server you need to think what goal you want from that server do you want a community do you want to make money or do you just want to have overall fun With your friends it doesn’t entirely matter what your goal is right now but it’s important not to just focus on that goal but use it as a motivation whenever running the server gets tough which unfortunately at times it will be tough as running a minecraft server is extremely difficult yeah i’ve done it Too builds are also really important on your minecraft server when someone joins your minecraft server the first thing they’re going to see is your spawn which will be the first impression of your server which could actually be the most important imagine you log onto a minecraft server and see this That’s going to make you want to leave right yeah but now you imagine you log on to a minecraft server and see this glorious thing you’re going to have a much better first impression and you might stay even longer therefore it’s important to invest in builds wherever you can Even if you and your friend build it or you hire a professional build team to build it for you you may want to download maps however we recommend that the main buildings like the hub are made custom as it’ll seem a lot more unique to the server however you may not have The budget to do this so maybe downloading maps is the only route you can take for now plugins quite interesting downloading public plugins from places like spigotmc is normally safe and good and it can fill most of your needs however we recommend that if you have a higher budget you should Invest in custom development which should allow your server to appear more unique and therefore much more enjoyable running mods and plugins is not typically recommended for minecraft servers however if you just want to run mods only we recommend that you do not make the server public and only make it For friends or a community of friends to run your minecraft server you’re of course going to need quite a bit of money and you’re going to have to do this through monetization this will allow you to earn money back from your minecraft server and maybe make a profit We recommend that you use tab x also known as by craft to create a store for your players but alternatively you can use crafting store however we do not recommend that putting ads on your minecraft server to monetize is not genuinely recommended by us and it won’t generate much for you But make sure when you’re making money to follow the euler while doing this and unfortunately if you’re gonna run a minecraft server you’re gonna have to have quite a high budget but with all businesses spending money makes money for a public server this is especially true because paying for all the server Costs is very important and a higher budget would allow you to have lots more options but if you want to run a small community or a server of friends you don’t need a lot of money you can just choose some of our lower priced minecraft server hosting and finally getting players onto your Minecraft server there are so many ways to get attention to your minecraft server but i personally think that the best way to get them would be through server slots server slots are when you put your minecraft server onto all the popular minecraft server lists like this this And this you can reward your players by voting for your server which will boost it through keys and many other rewards we typically recommend server slots for bigger servers however is an option that you can consider for yourself word of mouth is also where you can spread your Server however i don’t think it’s really effective you can tell your friends who hopefully have such an amazing experience on your server that they will tell their friends and the cycle just repeat but that requires a lot of people and a bit of luck but it’s worth a shot search engine Optimization for minecraft servers isn’t rewarding enough to do but we recommend it for larger servers in order to keep growing lastly social media is an absolute great way to grow your server getting an account and actively posting will get an outreach to many people on social media Who enjoy minecraft when it comes to paid ads we do not typically recommend them we do however recommend that you take the sponsorship route in our experience this has been the best way you can get a return in your investment however it is quite costly getting streamers to play on your minecraft Server would be great for a brand new server and it’ll boost it straight away make sure to sponsor creators that will be in it for the long run also anyways thanks for watching our guide on how to start a successful minecraft server and if you have any further questions Make sure to contact us through the link in the
