Create server

1. Create a folder for your server.

2. Download server.jar to your server folder.

3. Inside the folder, create a text file named start-server.

   • Before pasting the command line below, choose how much RAM you want to use:

     -Xmx is how much memory it's allowed to use.

     -Xms is the initial memory size (no performance impact).

     1gb /   -Xmx1024M -Xms1024M
     2gb /   -Xmx2048M -Xms2048M
     3gb /   -Xmx3072M -Xms3072M
     4gb /   -Xmx4096M -Xms4096M
     5gb /   -Xmx5120M -Xms5120M
     6gb /   -Xmx6144M -Xms6144M
     7gb /   -Xmx7168M -Xms7168M
     8gb /   -Xmx8192M -Xms8192M
     9gb /   -Xmx9216M -Xms9216M and so on... just multiply 1024 for how much you want
     

   • Paste java -Xmx2048M -Xms1024M -jar server.jar nogui (change RAM for your preference)

   • Save the file as .bat

4. Execute start-server.bat to setup.

   • When the console says [Server thread/INFO]: Done! For help, type "help" type stop to close.

     The program may close itself automatically.

5. After setup, open eula.txt and agree to EULA:

   • eula=true

6. Execute start-server.bat to actually install the server.

   • When the console says [Server thread/INFO]: Done! For help, type "help" type stop to close.

     Now you should have a lot of files and folders.

7. Edit server.properties.

   • Usually, we change those:

     gamemode= survival/creative/adventure/spectator

     difficulty= peaceful/easy/normal/hard

     pvp= true/false

     hardcore= true/false

     enable-command-block= true/false

     max-players= default=20

     server-ip= YOUR_IP_ADDRESS ⚠️

     level-name= default=world

     online-mode= true/false (false allows cracked)

     level-seed= leave empty for random seed

     motd= default=A Minecraft Server / (motd generator)

8. Well, we're done! 😄 I love adding a new step just to tell you we're done
