Turn Your Old Computer Into A Minecraft Server For Free! – Also We Started A Minecraft Server

Okay how is everyone due to popular demand from literally all three of my discord staff and moderators and actually they’re also the channel moderators we have created a minecraft server and I’m not saying that’s a bad thing I’m saying bad things are going to

Happen so if you guys want to join it is a very lightly modded minecraft server the IP to that will be down in the description below it is pretty much very lightly modded just a few terrain mods few extra blocks and the rest of core mods we have

Optifine in there a few plugins just to keep things safe those factions plugins installed literally just to keep things safe I will literally Ally everyone until they start griefing yeah I mean one dot 12.2 forge mod pack down in the description below what else is there to

Say join have fun don’t grieve but yeah I thought that gave me an excuse to make a video about our freeness here yes I have FreeNAS still running so if you guys have not seen how to setup FreeNAS basically it allows you to create a server out of your old device whether

It’s a laptop whether it’s a computer and then from there you can run minecraft servers you can run plex you can run all the goodies like that so if you guys have not seen that video yet right up here it is going to be important you need to set that up before

You can setup the minecraft server so we have FreeNAS running now that we have FreeNAS running let’s move on to actually installing the server because that’s what you guys came here for let’s do it okay so we have freenas running right here and what you are going to

Want to do is you will want to go into plugins right so once you go into plugins it gets pretty damn simple from here on you will want to choose a pool for creating your plugins suite I showed you how to create a pool in the previous

Video so we’re gonna choose the mystical as our main pool and from here on literally Frida’s makes it so simple that’s why it’s such a great software look at this all you do is if you want to have a plex server you click on it right here if you

Want to have a next cloud server you click right here Jenkins right there and what we are going to be playing with today is my no s2 Talia’s here as well actually if any of you ever had Plex to Tolley is great it allows you to check everyone and anything that’s happening

On your plex server but we are going to be playing with this my know what my know s it is a GUI interface for installing minecraft servers so you won’t need to play with the terminal you won’t need to play with anything like that all you do is you access it through

My new s here so all you do is you click install right here click continue papa it’s going to ask you whether you want to use DHCP NAT etc jail name let’s just call it mine OS but it wants an ipv4 address all of that should be dedicated

To it automatically so let’s just click Save and now it’s can install my OS so now you literally just wait for this to install my mom has saved me from certain doom she bought the good coffee again also this thing you guys the zoom stuff started coming in so I started recording

For that yesterday so yeah this is the light bulb that will probably burn down my house but yeah I started recording for that yesterday so I’m not gonna spoil anything it’s actually pretty good like it’s decently ok like for example the phone case came yesterday I I’m actually digging this like it’s it’s

Pretty cool so yeah ok this is taking slightly longer than I thought it would so I will be right back to you once this is complete ok so what I did you guys is I literally just changed from NAT to DHCP because DHCP will define the IP address for the my

Know s server automatically so we’re just gonna keep it at DHCP and I would recommend you use DHCP as well and now it’s installing fine so yeah ok Coolio so we are now fully setup as you can see right here plug and installed successfully so you just click close and

Then what you want to do is as you can see here oh I have two of them I accidentally install two so what I’m just gonna do is I’m literally just gonna stop the Minow s1 because we have the minecraft one and that’s the only one we are going to need basically the

Other one was not DHCP I created this one as DHCP you can create it as NAT if you like I prefer DHCP but hey entirely up to you so here you go as you can see this is the admin portal it’s what you are going to use to control your Minecraft servers

And yes you can have multiple ones in one – container so you will only need one – for your entire minecraft server base so you just copy this IP right here check how much RAM you have so I believe this thing has oh it has a whoa okay

Okay so let’s paste and open right here and you will need the default username and password MC server okay cool so the default is MC server and the default password is also MC server just make sure to change that so that you don’t like completely forget

About it later on okay so as you can see right now we are in the interface and this is pretty cool because from here on it’s really simple you just click create a server you give it a name just like that you select your difficulty you know

I only play hard cuz I’m a true gamer so you select your game mode you select your level type which for me would be OTG because we’re using open terrain generator but because I’m gonna show you how to create a vanilla one we’re just gonna leave it as default but but about

Everything else stays the same and create new server just like that so now you have a new server created what you want to do now is you want to go into profiles you want to select either forge feed the beast Mojang all those so we’re just gonna select Mojang we’re gonna select the

Default one dot 16.1 you want to click download download the latest release go to server status this is where you control the server select the version you just downloaded right here I’m gonna select broadcast tool and so that it shows up on local LAN we are going to

Give it well we had seven gigs let’s give it one thousand okay change the runnable jar to the runnable jar of the server and click start every make sure everything here is correct click start and boom your server will be started it will probably ask you to confirm the EU

Line so I’m gonna wait for that to happen and then you can click accept you lie there you go and then click start again and now you can go into the log right here and the log is your console so this is really cool because it’s a really nice GUI it’s

Really really simple and you can run everything from right here so here we go it’s starting up so let’s just start up minecraft I guess see if it works right it’s all this left to do if you guys want to tutorial on port forwarding except let me know because right now this is

Only visible to your local land so if you want to port forward that so that other people from other places can join you will need to port forward that on your router just port forward port two five five six five from your local IP address for me that would be 192.168.20.10

Not your local one because if you give your local one two people they won’t be able to join unless you use hamachi for example hamachi will actually let them join so we’re just gonna start up minecraft right here the world spawn is almost created how exciting it’s now

Created sick so now let’s just wait for this thing to download and uh see how we’re doing oh whoa I have never played on one 16.1 what is this no you did not that’s not there okay so it’s not showing up on the local down here which

I thought it would be so that’s not showing up there but I’m just gonna type in the IP address I think it was 61 it’s 62 and now let’s connect here we are and as you can see it showed up in the console that I joined the game so I can

Up myself right here just like that and because this is also a Samba share nest all you have to do if you want to access this is literally just access the Samba share so here you go I think I’m off now yeah I’m a server operator which means

I’m not gonna cheat you know like I’m not cheating this isn’t cheating god damn it I keep pressing L I lose my sprint key because it’s on my mouse there’s a fire okay no let’s let’s ignore the fire let’s just let it burn here you go here you go guys

We have literally created a server from an old device that you probably may not have been using like for example an old laptop or an old computer this is how simple it is you get a lovely little GUI that you can play around with right here you can install forge you can install

Mods you can create a vanilla world if you want all you have to do then is port forward it and anyone can access it and then it’s entirely up to you how much ram you give it you don’t need to be paying other companies to add more RAM and pay more

Monthly because you’re running it which means you can add as much RAM as you like which is why it would be great if I were the one running our minecraft server because I have an AZ with 32 gigabytes of RAM that I normally run minecraft servers on but somebody is

Going to find my IP address there’s always one person that would find my IP address and just expose it and I have too much importance that there’s always that one person that ruins the party for everyone else and I can’t let that happen so yeah we’re running off paid

Server so that’s it I paid for a server for you guys so make sure to join that down in the description below again the mod pack is down in the description below it’s forge 1.12 dot 2 we have plugins running we’re using mohist which was recommended to me by a
