Showing you the full process of making a Minecraft server um and getting it already and getting your friends to join it so without any further Ado let’s go and get into this let’s go and continue straight with this tutorial so the first thing you want to

Do is simply go and open up Chrome and we need to go and get the Minecraft server program so I want to do is simply search for Minecraft server just like so and then you want to come and make sure you come to the official Minecraft server download it’s on minecraft.net

Click there and then all you want to do is come down here it says download Minecraft server 1.16.5 however yours is going to say a different version because you may be watching this in the future um so it’s going to say the latest version here and the silver is gonna be

Running on 1.16.5 so click there and it’s going to go and stop the download it’s pretty small as you can see and this is a Java file so if you haven’t got the option to open this you need to make sure you’ve got a program called

Java so simply Google Java and make sure you’ve got that installed anyways as you can see here we’ve got this little message here do not worry it’s completely safe it’s literally made by Minecraft so click keep and now let’s go and sort this out so we’ve got the

Download here and what I recommend doing is simply go and come into your desktop right click and go to new and go to folder and simply name this folder server or something like that as you can see we’ve knuckle that there you want to drag the server.jar into the folder just

Like so and now let’s go and open up the server file so we’ll double click here and as you can see we’ve got server.jar so now what we want to do is simply double click on server.jar and it’s going to go and run it so take a minute

As you can see my mouse is circling and it’s creating these files so you’ve simply got to wait for this to do this basically and then I’ll be showing you the next step so once you’ve got these three other new files uh so four files

In total you then want to come to the EULA which is I think you pronounce like Oola or something like that click on it and then right click record and you’ll go and click edit and then we’ve got this agreement here so as you can see it

Says by changing setting below to true you were indicating your agreement to the Euler so I’ve gone and read through this but make sure you have and then once you have you want to go and simply change this to true just like so and then go and click on

File and click save then once you’ve done that you come click off there and you’re going simply click on server.jar again and it’s going to go and add even more files so it’s going to run it again and we’ll just have to wait and then

I’ve just had this pop up here as you can see I’ve got the Minecraft server program and it had this pop up here so I’m going to go and click on proper networks and click allow access this is just Windows Defender uh doing its thing so click allow access and then we’re

Going to be good to go so as you can see it’s now preparing the spawn area this will take a while depending on your computer speeds um so we’ll just wait for this and yeah as you can see it’s currently soccer seven percent uh so it may take a while

Um but yeah wait for this to load and then I’ll catch up with you once it’s gone and loaded okay guys so I actually sped up quite a lot at the end as you can see but it’s now running so you’re probably wondering what’s the next steps

Okay so I want to go over the basics so if we come back into the server folder we created here we’ve got a ton of stuff all about the server so if you want to go into the property simply come on soda properties click on it then right click

And you can go and click edit and you want to come down to where it says open with and then need to click more apps and go and click on notepad click ok and then here are all the game settings so as you can see there are so much

Useful information here you can change spawn protection you can change the game mode you can change pretty much all the key things so for example we could change the name of the server so I’m just going to name this to my name so tutorial Tucker just like so and then go

And click file and save and by the way guys as well while running the server you need to keep this Minecraft server program open as is the program running as this is the program running the server so just remember to keep it running anyways as you can see back in

Here you can literally change all the other settings as well so make sure you can go and remember that so anyways we can go and close this now I’ve changed some of the main things and a quick note guys for some of the settings to be put

In effect you need to restart the server so for example you need to close it here by pressing the red X and then go and reopen it after you’ve saved it in the server.properties file you’ll then need to go and restart it so just remember that and then you’ve got the white list

As well so if you want to use whitelist and that’s literally sort of the main things you can go and sort of test everything out what I do recommend doing as well is you can opt yourself to make you the admin of the server and I’ll be

Showing that in just a minute but let’s go and launch Minecraft so I’m going to double click on Minecraft and go and get into this so make sure you’re running the Minecraft version you’re playing on the server as well so for example This Server is 1.16.5 so I’m

Going to run this game on 1.16.5 because I’m going to go and click play and it’s going to go and launch the game and then we can go and join the server so we’ll simply wait for this to load so it’s downloaded and let’s get into this so

Click on multiplayer and go and click on ADD server now for the server address for yourself and people within your Wi-Fi network so like your internet router all you need to do is enter localhost so this is only for people on your local server and then it’s going to

Go and add it here and as you can see Minecraft server I’ll double click there and it’s now connecting to the server and we’re literally joining right now and here we are this is the server now a quick note as well if we come off this

And come back to our server as you can see Tucker joined the game which is me um and that’s literally it so we now click back to game and here we are we’re in the game and we can go and break blocks as you can see and we can get the

Dirt and place it so you’re probably wondering how do I go and make myself I can admin so come back to the Minecraft server and simply go and type op and then go and type your username so mine is Tucker so Taco two hours and underscore and then press enter as you

Can see May Tucker a server operator so then I can go and do command search just making myself go creative so slash game mode uh creative and boom I’m now creative but I can go you know do anything in Creative so that’s literally it guys and if you want other people to

Join you need to give them your IP but just remember giving your IP out can be risky as of course that can be used against you basically so make sure you know the person very well you’re giving the ip2 and they’re not going to be a

Threat to knowing your IP and a quick note guys every time you want to go in close server and then reopen it simply close the server.jar the programmer just on and then you’re going to double click it again to go and relaunch it and then

It’s going to go and put the server back online but anyways if you found this video useful please go down below and leave a like And subscribe and this works great as well just for getting people in your local area network to join and I’ll catch you in the next one piece
