How To Setup A Shared Server In Minecraft Minecraft has built its reputation with gamers by creating an environment that encourages creation. Minecraft's greatest feature is the ability to play with your friends in a shared world. Although hosting your own server can be a hassle, anyone can set up a Minecraft server with a Windows computer and an internet connection. Related: Minecraft: The End and How To Get There (The Fast Way) Setting up your server will require some downloads and code changes. This guide will show you how to set up and fine tune a Minecraft server in no time. Minecraft Server Setup Any Minecraft Server needs the latest version of Java, so make sure you have the latest version of Java 7 installed. Once finished, download Minecraft Server.exe from Minecraft.net and save it into a dedicated folder, like C:\MinecraftSharedServer. Run the server program. It will open an interface window. Once the "Preparing area for spawning" messages are complete, a line with the text "Done!" will appear. Type "stop" in the text field and press Enter. Your Minecraft world is now complete. Now it's the time to configure it. Minecraft Server Settings The Minecraft_Server.exe file should be saved in the same directory. You will see two files called server. One of them will be listed as a property file. To open this file in Notepad, right-click it and choose Edit. A list of server settings will appear, followed by an equal sign. The value will be displayed. You can modify many aspects of your Minecraft world by changing these values. Most of the default settings should be fine, but there are a few that you might want to change. Gamemode – This setting allows you to select the type of world that you and your friends prefer. The default setting is 0, which represents the basic survival mode. This value can be changed to 1 to change the server to creative mode. Difficulty - Difficulty is clear in its name. The values can be changed to any value you choose, from 0 (peaceful), to 3 (hard), depending on the game you are playing. White-list - This is used to block others from accessing your server. This is important for friends who want to keep their server private. Back in your Minecraft server folder, you'll see another file called white-list, right-click it and open the file with Notepad to make your white-list username list. The first player you'll want to add is yourself, type your Minecraft username into the top line. Hit enter and add each of your friend's usernames on their own lines. Save the file and you've done it. Configuring your Router to Minecraft Your server will be accessible to any player connected to your router. You will need to configure your router to forward port TCP port 25575 to your server if your friends are playing from their homes. This is a time-consuming step that requires some knowledge but only takes a few moments. Once you are ready to receive outside connections from your server, restart it by running Minecraft_Server.exe. If you don’t already know your IP, you’ll need to Google "what’s my ip?" Free forums This is the IP address other players will use to connect to your server. That's it. You've created a world for your friends and yourself to enjoy. Keep an eye out on the Minecraft website for any updates. Have fun building together!
