TroubleChute – How to: Set up a 1.16+ Fabric Minecraft Server | High Performance | 1.16.3+

What’s up my name is technobo here for troubleshoot and in today’s video i’m going to be showing you how to set up a minecraft fabric server for 1.16 and above this video is going to focus on 1.16.3 assuming you’d like to set up a spigot craft bucket or paper server

Or of course a server for a mod pack make sure to check the description down below for links to videos on those so let’s begin to set up your own fabric server all we need to do is head across to the first link in the description down below

Fabricmc.net once you’re on this page simply look for the installation header and then look for the download here and simply click here then we’ll simply download either the universal jar or the windows specific exe i’ll be downloading the jar file i’ll tell it to keep and i’ll head back a web page

Now i’ll be downloading the fabric api as well this is a necessary mod for all other fabric mods to work simply click this over here which will take us across to curseforge.com then simply click the files tab over here and we’ll be downloading the version that corresponds with the

Version that we want our server to be as you can see 1.14.4 15.2 all the way up to 1.16.3 and above because i’m setting up a 1.16.3 server i’ll simply look for the latest version and then click the download button next to it waiting five seconds fabric api will

Download and i can ask it to keep heading back a web page if you can’t see the version you’re looking for easily simply hold down control and press f then type in the version number say 1.14 and hit enter then we’ll be taken directly to that version

So unlike other server types all we have to do is simply click on the fabric installer to open it up we don’t have to move this jar file anywhere as we won’t be extracting anything from it then we’ll see this over here the first tab is the client tab

Where we can select our correct minecraft version save 1.16.3 and then click install this will download and install the fabric client on your pc then to install the actual server head across to the server tab select a version build number and then select an install location this is important i’ll be installing it

To my desktop into a folder called fabric i’ll create a new folder rename it and open it up i’ll click at the very top where the url is and copy it i’ll minimize it and paste that install location into here some c uses tech novo desktop fabric and then click install

And it’ll download and install the server into that folder that i pointed it to we’ll get a pop-up about there not being a valid server jar all we have to do is click download server jar and it’ll download the actual 1.16.3 minecraft server jar then right below it we have some launch information

But all you have to do is click generate to generate yourself a batch file and an sh file to launch the server automatically i’ll click done and then close out of it from here let’s open up our fabric folder and we have some files inside of it because we asked it to automatically

Generate us a start.matt file and a start.sh file those are both located here let’s open up start.bat by right clicking on it and clicking edit then we see this over here something that i like to do is at the very top add at echo off and i’ll be adding some more

Info to this java run line over here simply verify that the name of the jar inside of the batch file matches the name of the jar inside of the fabric folder so fabric server dot jar fabric server launch dot jar everything is correct let’s go ahead and give the server some more ram

Simply open up task manager and head across to the performance tab then the memory section from here we can see how much ram we have available in our computer and how much is currently free how much ram do we give our server well of course the more the better but

You’ll still need some for programs to run on your computer some for the actual server itself then some from minecraft as well if you’re going to be running it on the same computer you’re hosting it from and of course you’ll need some headroom for other programs on your pc

Such as a web browser because i have a ludicrous amount of ram 64 gigs i can give it almost as much as i’d like so right before this hyphen jar over here we’ll be adding some commands hyphen capital x ms space hyphen capital x mx right over here we’re setting the

Starting amount of ram and the maximum amount of ram say you’d like to give the server 4 gigs at the end of xms as such enter in how many gigs you want to give it so i’ll give it 4 gigabytes and i’ll answer a capital g to indicate yes that is gigabytes of

Course if you’d like to give it a specific amount of megabytes simply multiply it by a thousand and add a capital m meaning megabytes instead of g for gigabytes i’ll leave it as 4g because that’s simpler and xmx the maximum amount of ram that it can have i’ll set it to say

8g as i’m allowing it to use up to 8 gigabytes of ram simply save the match file and close out of it from here we can launch it up and it’ll generate us some files as well as the euler.text that we’ll have to accept in just a moment

This will of course be a couple of seconds from now there we go closing out of it by pressing any key and opening euler.text let’s simply change false to true to accept the eula saving and closing out of it we now have some other files and folders

In here that we can mess with before launching the server once again so server.properties contains some settings for our server and if we scroll down we should eventually see server port this port over here is the port that’s used to connect to your server assuming you’d like players to connect

On your local network you shouldn’t need to do much other than allowing this port through your firewall and anti-virus if you’d like people to join your server from outside of your local connection i.e through the internet make sure that you’re port forwarded as well as it’s incredibly important on top of

That if you’re running more than one server from your ip simply make sure that this doesn’t match any other server that’s currently running by default 25565 is just fine now that we’ve customized this file we can close out of it and we can open up the mods folder where we can add

Ourselves some fabricmod.jar files inside of here we’ll be dragging and dropping the fabric api we downloaded earlier as such and we’ll be adding any other mods we want after adding the fabric api into this folder let’s go ahead and add some more mods heading across to cursed forge i’ll

Scroll down and select the fabric tab then at the very top i’ll select a game version being 1.16.3 leaving it sorted by popularity let’s go ahead and download a mod that works on the server side for example world edit i’ll click on it and it’ll be taken to a page with more info

On the plugin i’ll head across to the files section and download the version that corresponds with the server that we just set up looking down here we see there’s both forge and fabric versions what i want is the fabric version that is 1.16.3 of course that’s currently not available

But most 1.16 fabric mods work for all 1.16 fabric versions so i’ll look for the one with fabric in the title 1.16.2 the latest and i’ll download this then all i have to do is drag and drop it across into the mods folder the same way that we did with the fabric api

There we go now that we’ve got world edit and the fabric api let’s simply head back our folder and run our server once again so let’s go ahead and join the server simply opening up the minecraft launcher making sure fabric 1.16.3 is selected of course vanilla 1.16.3 because we have

Server side mods opening up minecraft let’s head across to the multiplayer tab and join our server to do that either use the direct connection button or the add server button i’ll be using direct connection as is just a little bit cleaner inside of here we’ll either enter localhost

Or 127.0.0.1 if you’re running minecraft on the same computer as the server because i am i’ll leave it as such then if you change the port from 25565 to something else add a colon followed by that port number as such i’ll leave it as just localhost then i’ll click a join server

And we’ll be connecting to our local fabric server there we go now that we’re in game let’s go ahead and up myself so i’ll simply run op space followed by my name techno now we’re operator i’ll run the game mode creative and now we’re admin and in creative mode

On our local fabric server now because we installed the world edit mod all we have to do is enter two slashes and one to give ourselves the world edit wand that we’re familiar with from the bucket plugin selecting two spots we can do normal things like slash slash set t and team

And it’ll build us off a nice block of tnt from here we can grab some redstone and finish our demonstration of how world edit works and of course with that small demonstration aside that is world edit and fabric mods working on our server as you’d expect so now we successfully

Set up a 1.16.3 fabric server you can join it on your local network as long as it’s allowed through your firewall and of course your anti-virus if you’d like someone to connect and play on your server from outside your local network you’ll need to go ahead and port forward as well

Information for that will be found in the description down below if you’d like someone to join on the same local network as you simply hold down start and press r then type in cmd to bring up command prompt typing in ipconfig and looking for how you’re connected to the internet which

For me is ethernet adapter we’ll copy this address over here the ipv4 address 192.168.1.20 for people to connect from a computer say next to me this is the address that they’d enter instead of a local host assuming you’d like someone to connect from outside your local network after port forwarding and allowing the

Port through your firewall all you have to do is google for what is my ip and copy the result that it gives you that is the address that you’ll give other people to connect and everything should work as you expect in order to save and close your server

Simply close your client itself and head across to the console in here we can either type stop and hit enter or we can do something i like to do to make sure that everything is saved and properly in order simply type in save hyphen all to save the world inventories and everything else

After making sure everything is saved we can run stop and we’ll gently bring the server to a close pressing any key to continue our server is now off of course if you like anyone to join it in the future simply make sure that start.bat is running and your server will start up as

Per normal but anyways that’s about it for this video now you know how to serve your own minecraft 1.16.3 fabric server and above thank you for watching my name has been technoba here for troubleshoot and i’ll see you all next time ciao
