What is a Minecraft Server?

A Minecraft server allows multiple people to play together in the same Minecraft world. This can be handled in different ways so it's important to understand your options.

You can rent a server through a third-party, such as Apex Hosting or Hostinger.

It does nearly everything for you, but you need to pay a monthly service fee for it. This can be as low as $5, depending on the service you use.

You can run a server yourself.

This saves you paying a monthly fee as well as giving you complete control over how your server is handled. This article focuses on making your own Minecraft server without using a third-party.

Minecraft also runs personal multiplayer servers, called Realms, just for you and your friends. With a Realm, your Minecraft world is online and always accessible, even when you log off.

How to Create a Minecraft Server on Windows, Mac, or Linux Systems

Let's start with the basics. Setting up the actual server will take a little technical know-how. You need to understand, at least at a fundamental level, how a server and a network function, and you ought to be comfortable with command lines as well as the hardware you're using.

Some questions people ask include:

          Q-Do I need a specific type of computer to run a Minecraft server?  Ans- No. You don't need a special computer, but you'll likely do better setting it up on a desktop.   Q-Can I run the server and play the game on the same computer? Ans-Sure, with an explanation. It's possible to run the server and play the game on the same machine, but you need to have a pretty powerful system to get the best possible performance.   Q-Can I run a Minecraft server over a wireless connection? Ans-This is not recommended. A wired connection is far more reliable and preferable.   Q-Do I need any specialized hardware? Ans-You could purchase server hardware, but a virtual private server (VPS) or a dedicated server is a much simpler way to go. You won't have the hassle of maintaining your hardware, and it's a scalable solution, in case you need more server power. Also, having a hosted server means there is no risk of exposing your network to the world.

With these points in mind, here are the steps you will take in setting up your Minecraft server, in a broad sense:

Install the newest version of Java on your computer.
Download the most recent version of Minecraft.
Configure your network and the server.
Run the server.
Make sure you can access the server.

Playing with a Modded Server

While hosting your server and playing with friends you may want to play with some mods. There is a helpful guide below that covers adding mods to the server we just setup! In order for your friends to play the modded server with you, they need to have the same mods as you do as well as a forge modded version of Minecraft.
