Setting Up Java 17 and Paper Server
First things first, you’ll need to install Java 17. Head over to this link and download Java 17. Once that’s done, you’ll also need to download the Paper server from this link.
Creating the Server Folder and Configuration
After installing Java 17 and downloading the Paper server, create a new folder and name it in English, for example, “Server1.20.2”. Copy the downloaded Paper server file into this folder and rename it to “paper.jar”. Then, create a new text document and paste the following code:
File: Start.bat java -Xms2G -Xmx8G -jar paper.jar –nogui
Save the text document and rename it to “Start.bat”. This will be used to start the server.
Launching the Server
Now, it’s time to launch the server. Run the “Start.bat” file and wait for the server to start. Once it’s up and running, you’ll see the world being generated, and your server will be almost ready.
Connecting to the Server
Next, open Minecraft (T Launcher for non-original Minecraft versions) and start the server. Add a new server with the address “localhost:25565” and all the necessary resources enabled. Once added, connect to the server and start playing!

Customizing the Server
If you’re using a non-original Minecraft version, you may need to modify the server properties. Open the “server.properties” file and make the necessary changes, such as setting the game mode to survival and customizing the server port. Save the file and restart the server to apply the changes.
With your server up and running, you’re all set to enjoy your customized Minecraft experience. Stay tuned for more tips and tricks on how to make the most out of your server!
