LeeWantsToGame – HOW TO CREATE YOUR OWN MINECRAFT JAVA SERVER! [WINDOWS]

What’s up my gamers and gamettes and welcome back to another video on my channel today. As you guys can probably tell from the title this is a little tutorial for you guys, I know this isn’t my usual video making thing, but I just had a stroke of genius because this video is

For people who do not know how to run a server and would like to learn! So first of all this is the first website that I used it’s minecraftversions.net. This is because i wanted to make a Minecraft server in 1.16.4. So if we want to open up this server here, you

Pull the server in there and you just click open, this will then generate these files you don’t need to worry about any of them except for eula. All you need to do is change that false to true and then you’re good to go! So if you want to just run your server

Again it will take a little minute. Sorry I have two monitors, so- but this is basically what I’m talking about here, it just kind of you know, will run the rest of the options. And finally I’m just gonna move this server over here, but we’ll move this start into here and we will

Open with notepad. Now I have this pasted in here, it’s basically a way to make your server not lag because you’re adding some ram to it and so all you got to do is go save as click all files and do .bat that will then save into

There and you have a batch file. You don’t need this anymore so you can either just keep it or you can drag it away it doesn’t really matter. So I use Hamachi to forward my ports when I used to host servers on Macs I didn’t do this because there was another way,

But this is not my own wifi or anything so I don’t forward anything just out of the fear of not doing it right or like you know I mean. It’s not my wifi it’s my parents wifi. I use Hamachi, now there’s debate on Hamachi a lot of

People don’t like it and I am sorry about that if you’re one of those people you can find another way to port forward I’m sure. As you can see I’m covering my ip because you don’t want to- you don’t want to let everyone know, but basically here I have this server test

Lwtg, which stands for LeeWantsToGame, of course, and up here, I know you can’t see it properly but if you do that you can click copy ipv4 address I think there is there’s a five player limit on this and I think there’s also a limit on how many networks you can make

I’m pretty sure but you can also join your friends. So this is something that I wanted to open with you guys and go over a little bit, so the part you can change this to any number. I think- I don’t know what the maximum is but

You can do that. So I will do spawn protection 0 because that means that if you’re not opped you can’t break anything at spawn which you know I don’t I don’t want. Flight- I always turn this on because if you lag a lot sometimes it’ll kick you from the server because it thinks

You’re flying and I always just have that on. View distance is another good one, because you can change that- I don’t know for example 8 and what it’ll do is it’ll help with server lag which I think is- a strange option to help with server lag

But it really does help the lower it is, but obviously if it’s too low you won’t be able to see very far because that goes hand in hand with your render distance. So now we’re going to move on to whitelist, we’re going to put true because this means that only the

People you want online can join and I’ll do ctrl S to save and that should be good! So now what you do is you double click the .batch folder and sorry it opened up in the wrong place as per usual- and what this will do is it’ll just load

Your spawn area and things. I’m gonna go and whitelist add LeeWantsToGame, so that is me now added to the whitelist and I’m also going to do a /op LeeWantsToGame, and now I’m a server operator so I’m going to jump into the game and I will be back in just a little second.

Okay so i’ve got this blocked out obviously but you do the ipv4 address and here and the same port that you chose or you know the default is 25565 and as you can see here is my server you can change the player count, you can add more gigabytes, it’s really up to you

1 gigabyte is usually enough for a vanilla server. So without further adieu let’s hop in! Okay so i’ve got some Shaders on, just some easy to run ones for right now because I don’t want to lag it out, but of course as you can see I am mining these blocks without any

Issue whatsoever, no lag and I mean that’s that’s good first of all. We’re gonna have a little test so we’re gonna quickly craft ourselves a crafting table, get some sticks and then what we’ll do is we’re going to make ourselves an axe quickly and a sword just

Just for quick purposes, now we’re going to find an animal other than a chicken hopefully. This is what you can determine, blocks are usually pretty simple on servers, however, mobs can lag a lot so let’s test it out with this cow. And as you can see

There was no server lag so, one gigabyte should be enough for you guys, I know obviously not everyone has amazing computers and so one gigabyte should do it for you guys- and because I made myself an op what that means is I can do gamemode creative and you know hop into

Creative and do things like that and I can also do /stop you can do this on your console as well, like your .batch file that we opened earlier, but slash stop will stop the server. As you guys can see here it’s totally disappeared from my toolbar, but yeah honestly I think that’s

It! I hope that was informative enough for you guys, I would like to mention I have a Mac and I am also pretty well versed in doing this for modded servers if you guys want to see any of that then i’d be so happy to oblige,

So happy to oblige because I love making servers like I typically buy my own ones right now but just because they’re up 24/7. It is easier but obviously most people don’t have funds to buy servers if you get what I mean so this is like a

Pretty easy way to do it and if you’re on a Mac it’s a similar process but a bit different and I would be happy to show you that and for modded servers it is a bit different as well but i’d be happy to show you

That at any point. So if you want to see either a Mac tutorial or a modded tutorial let me know in the comments below! I want to thank you all so much for watching and I will see you all again soon, bye everyone!
