show you How to start your very own server on your own computer first things first here we want to go to this website this is in the description down below the second link down below and this is actually our website and the reason we’re sending you here is because if in The future right right now this video is made for 2021 but if you’re watching this in 2022 2023 this article second link down below will always be up to date as you can see the most recent version right now is 1.17 11.18 1.19 1.21.25 comes out this will still be Updated we update it with every single version so if something does change and you find this video in the future well then guess what the video up here is always up to date as is this article nevertheless though once you’re here you want to scroll down and click on this Green download minecraft button that’s going to take you off the official server download page where you want to click on the minecraft underscore server 1.17.1.jar there it might be a different version that’s okay you just want to click on minecraft underscore server right there and then in the bottom left The server.jar is going to download on google chrome we will need to keep it in the bottom left on google chrome or save it listen every screen on this firefox it’s 100 safe to do that because i mean this is from minecraft.net if you have minecraft you’ve downloaded something From this website before now we can go ahead and minimize our browser and on my desktop right here i have the server.jar if this isn’t on your desktop it’s going to be in your downloads folder so go to your downloads folder grab that and drag it to your desktop once the server.jar Is on your desktop you want to go ahead and right click on your desktop create a new folder you name this whatever you want i’m going to name it play.breakdowncraft.com because that’s our own incredible minecraft server then once you’ve got your folder here we want to drag and drop the server.jar into the Folder you created now i’m going to go ahead and open up the folder we created right like so and then we want to go ahead and right click in here right and create a new text document so again that’s right click in this folder create a new Text document and then we want to name this run so run dot text right like so you want to go ahead and open up your run.txt file here and we want to go ahead and go to the description down below and get this code and basically What this is is going to be the thing that runs your server so it’s a java server right obviously server is a jar file it’s a java file and then this is how much ram right here xmx and xmx is ram so if you wanted to add three gigs Of ram you would up this this isn’t exactly three gigs of ram but if you make that three it’s about three gigs of ram we’re going to start off with two gigs of ram and that is what’s in the description but if you want to add more Ram that’s where you can do it then obviously it’s a jar file and then this right here is very very important where it says server.jar this needs to be the same as whatever the jar file is back here so for me it’s server.jar for you It may just say server and if that’s the case you need to turn on file name extensions to do that go to view up here at the top and then just click on file name extensions as you can see the server goes away and then you want to Turn that on if uh you know it’s not on already right like so now most of the time that’s gonna work if it doesn’t for whatever reason you might have to go to options and they may have to go to view and then scroll down until you see file Name extensions so as you can see height extensions for known file types if that is checked for example if we hit apply that’s going to go away and then hide extensions for known file types that wants to be unchecked right height extension on file types needs to be Unchecked or we need to make sure that file name extensions is it checked there to where you can see these dot jars but server.jar needs to be right here if this is called server.jar if it was called something else it would be called something else there no gui basically Means the minecraft server gui is not going to open up it’s going to be using the console and then the pause means if you do have any issues it’s going to stop the server and pause it so now i’m going to go ahead and file save once Whenever we’ve got this copied in here it should be exactly like this from java to pause right like so then we’re going to go ahead and close out of the run.txt file and then we want to right click on the run.txt file here right click rename And then we want to delete the txt and change it to dot bat and that’s why the file name extensions is so important so if you hadn’t done that already you need to go do that file name extensions and again that was just click right here View and then click right here or go into options and make sure that height extensions for no file types is unchecked right both of those will do it but again we want to right click on the run.txt and change txt to b80 so this needs to be run.bat exactly like that Click off of it it’s going to give you a warning it might become unusable all that stuff it’s not let’s go ahead and click yes boom and that’s going to be now a run.bat and most importantly the file type should be windows batch file over here now we can go ahead and run This server by double clicking on the run.bat file so once we’ve done that we can go ahead and start the server right it’s starting we double click on the run.nbt that’s going to start your server except it’s going to fail why is it going to fail because you are Basically not agreeing to the minecraft ula yet right it’s generated some files here but we need to agree to this ula now for some of you it still may not have worked you still may have gotten an issue when trying to start your server could have been an array of different Things but the good thing is 99 of those issues are fixed with this and this is how to download install java for minecraft servers this was recently changed for 1.17 so if you’re making a 1.17 server you will definitely need to come here and download this version of Java go through this simple process here you may need to run the jar fix as well but that’s more unlikely this is also linked in the description but the thing you will have to do no matter what is this right here which is download install java 4 minecraft servers now we Can go ahead and once you’ve double clicked on thatrun.bat file again once you double click on it’s going to go through it’s going to fail and then you want to press any key to continue and then we’ll need to agree to the minecraft ula see it failed press any Key to continue we can open up the eola.txt file here we then want to change july equals false to your equals true t-r-u-e exactly like that that is again assuming you agree to this minecraft ula which we do so ula equals true then go ahead and do file save Close out of the ui.txt file and then finally when we double-click on the run.bat file the server is going to start right on up at this point i’m going to go ahead and let the server start up i’ll kind of do that live here but then after that i’m going to do a Quick jump cut to get minecraft open so we can join this server so here we are as you can see it says done there that’s signaling the server is open which you see done the server is done starting obviously it’s pretty simple and now we Can go ahead and join the server so here we are in minecraft obviously we’re on the multiplayer tab here and then we want to join our server now you’re going to join your server different from how your friends are going to join your server we’re going to talk about that Here in a second however for you what we want to do is go ahead and click direct connection and then in here what we want to do is enter in one of two things one is local host right local host and click join server that’s going To allow you to join right on into your server as you can see on the side over here we have next games it’s joined the server we are good to go however for some of you that’s not going to be the best way right to the best way for some Of you is going to be this direct connection and then we’re going to instead of localhost hit zero right when you type in zero join the server it’s gonna act exactly the same way and join right on in now you can also join off of your ipv4 address but i’m not gonna go Too much in depth with that because that’s more needed if you’re gonna port forward right you’re gonna need your ipv4 and all that stuff if you’re going to port forward and you do need to put forward in order to get your friends to join the server so how do

Making a Minecraft server for Java Edition has been one of the more difficult things to do in the past, but in this video, we try to make hosting your own Minecraft server easy breaking down every step and giving you articles to look at if you have any troubles with specific parts. So without anymore delay, here is how to host your own Minecraft server.
The first step of starting your own Minecraft Java Edition server in 2021 is downloading the server files. You can find the server files linked in the description above. When you click that link, it will actually take you to the text tutorial for how to make a Minecraft server for the most recent version. If you are watching this video in the future, this article will always have how to make a server in the most recent version of Minecraft. Thus, if there are changes, the article on our website will always be up-to-date to reflect those.
Once you are on our site, scroll down and click the ‘Download Minecraft’ button. This will take you to the Minecraft server file download page. On this page, you will see a green link that says Download ‘minecraft_server.VERSION.jar’. The version will be different depending on when you are watching this tutorial. Click this link, and the Minecraft Java Edition server.jar file will start downloading. You will need to keep or save the file depending on your browser. It is 100% safe.
After the file is downloaded, create a folder on your desktop and name it ‘Minecraft Server’. Drag-and-drop the server.jar you downloaded into this folder. Then, right-click and create a new text document. Name this document ‘run’. Open the run.txt file, and copy-and-paste the ‘Run.bat Text’ in the description above into the text file you created. Save the file, and right-click on the run.txt file and rename it to run.bat. Confirm that you are changing the file type. Finally, double click on the new run.bat file.
When you click that file, your server will try to start, but it will fail. You will have had some files generate though. One of these will be the eula.txt file. Open this file, and change EULA=false to EULA=true and save the file. Double click the run.bat file again, and your Minecraft server will start!
At this point, you can join your server by opening up Minecraft and entering ‘localhost’ as your IP address and join the server. Now, this is not how your friends will join. To play on your Minecraft server with your friends, you will need to port forward. We have a complete guide on port forwarding for a Minecraft server in the description above. We also have other helpful links for your server in the description above, so be sure to check those.
