Playing on other people's servers in Minecraft, many users think about how good it would be to make their own spawn, invite friends and other users to the game, sell administrator rights, getting money. All this will be possible if you make a server in Minecraft yourself.
Before making a server in Mancraft for playing with friends and acquaintances, make sure that your computer can withstand heavy loads. If your PC cannot provide the server with the necessary resources, then you will need hosting.
In order not to waste precious time, you can find a ready-made server for the Minecraft game. Download the server, move it to your hard drive or host it. You will need at least 3 GB of free space for the server to run smoothly.
Start the installed server and wait for the game map to load.
In the minecraft-server.jar folder, you need to configure the server.preporites. Not every player has the official version of the Minecraft game installed, so make the online-mod = false directive so that users of the unlicensed version can join your game.
To give players server admin rights, add their names to the ops.txt text document. Each name is entered on a separate line.
When entering Minecraft, enter the localhost server address (if you have hosted it on your computer). If the connection is established, then you have made the server in Minecraft correctly.
Invite friends and other users to the game. To connect to your server, they need to know your IP
However, making a Minecraft server from scratch is the most optimal option for those who want to get serious about work. The server platform can be downloaded from the game's official website. You can also use the bukkit platform on which plugins for Minecraft will be installed.
Configure server.preporites and enter administrator names in ops.txt, just like you did with the downloaded server. Run server.exe, open the port for the server and wait for the map to load.
Change the required server settings:
- True - enable the server, False - disable;
- level-name = minecraft - the name of the folder with the server;
- allow-nether = true / false - enable or disable portal to hell;
- view-distance = 10 - visibility radius;
- spawn-monsters = true / false - enable or disable spawn of monsters;
- online-mode = true / false - setting the ability to play with a licensed or pirated version of the game;
- difficulty = 1 - setting the difficulty of the world, where 1 - easy, 3 - difficult;
- gamemode = 0 - 0 - survival 1 - creative;
- spawn-animals = true / false - enable or disable friendly spawn mobs
- max-players = 10 - maximum number of players on the server
- server-ip = - server IP
- pvp = true / false - enable or disable pvp
- level-seed = - seed cards
- server-port = 00000 - server port
- white-list = true / false - enable or disable the white list
- motd = hello - a greeting phrase on the server
Install the necessary plugins on the Minecraft server. So, MyHome will give players the opportunity to acquire their own home, with the help of WorldEdit and WorldGuard it will be possible to edit sites, AuthMe will be needed to authorize users, MobArena is needed to create mobarans for events.
Do not overdo it with the number of plugins on your home computer, the more there are, the more load will be.
If you want to make a Minecraft server not only for friends, but also for other players, still think about purchasing hosting. Most of the game's users are reluctant to log into their home servers.
