Minecraft, a game that has been around since 2009, has two different versions: the Java Edition and the Bedrock Edition. The Java Edition is for PC only and is widely considered to be superior to the Bedrock Edition. In this video, we’ll focus on setting up a server for the Java Edition.
Setting up your own Minecraft server allows you to customize the world, control the rules, and install mods. You can also invite friends to join your world and play together. Once the server is set up, you can connect it to a domain name, making it easier for people to join your server without having to remember IP addresses.
To follow along with this tutorial, you’ll need an Unraid server, a domain name running through Cloudflare, and the Minecraft software running on a PC. You’ll also need to install the Minecraft server container from the Unraid Apps tab.
Once the container is installed, you’ll need to set a password for the web UI and log in to start the server. After the server is up and running, you can connect it to a domain name using Cloudflare’s DNS service.
By following these steps, you can set up your own Minecraft server and connect it to a domain, making it easy for your friends to join and play. Whether you’re a seasoned Minecraft player or new to the game, setting up your own server can add a new level of excitement and customization to your gaming experience. So, grab your Unraid server, get your domain name set up, and start building your own Minecraft world today! 🎮
