When creating a Minecraft server, there are plenty of options. This guides currently covers setting up an Survival Multiplayer Server without mods. We'll be releasing more guides in the near future on how to set up the server with mods.

Follow these steps and you should have a public Minecraft Java server running in no time.



1. Download and install Java

5. Create your server and accept the EULA



Let's begin with the server now that we have your run file.

The command line should show logs. The folder for your Minecraft server will now be filled with new files. Find and open the eual.txt file and replace the eula=false line with the value eula=true.



6. Connect to your server by using the following command



Once you have been approved by the eula, you can restart your server. Next, open Minecraft and connect using 127.0.0.1.25565. Make sure your server is running in case you are unable to connect. If everything looks good and you're unsure why you cannot connect, ask for help on our discord.



7. Make your server public



Now you can connect to your server from anywhere. Let's make it accessible for friends so they can join. Go to the interactive guide.
