Setting Up a Minecraft Server in 2 Minutes
Are you a Minecraft enthusiast looking to set up your own server quickly and easily? Look no further! With the latest update, the process has been streamlined for your convenience. Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you get started in no time.
Downloading the Server
First things first, head to the official Minecraft website and download the server. Once the download is complete, create a new folder and name it according to your preference. Then, simply drag the server file into the newly created folder.
Configuring the Server
Next, open Notepad and paste the text provided on the website. Make sure to change the JAR file to the one you downloaded. Additionally, adjust the amount of RAM you want to allocate to the server. If you encounter any issues with server performance, consider lowering the allocated RAM.
Save the Notepad file as “run.bat” and open it. Wait for the necessary files to appear in your folder. Once that’s done, accept the End User License Agreement (EULA) by changing “false” to “true” in the file. Run “run.bat” again, and you’re all set to move on to the next step.
Port Forwarding
Now comes the slightly more technical part – port forwarding. Open the command prompt and type “ipconfig” to find your default gateway. Copy the default gateway into your browser to access your router settings. From there, navigate to the port forwarding or firewall section and add a new port. Name it as you wish and set it to both or TCP/UDP. Use the port number 25565 and enter your computer’s IP address as the destination IP (you can find this under IPv4 Address).
Sharing Your Server
Once you’ve completed the setup, you’re ready to share your server with friends. Simply search “what’s my IP” to find your public IP address, which you can then share with others. If you encounter any issues during the process, don’t hesitate to reach out for assistance.
With these simple steps, you can have your very own Minecraft server up and running in no time. Happy gaming!
