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 application. This will open an interface window. Once the "Preparing area for spawning" messages are complete, a line with the text "Done!" will appear. Enter "stop", and hit the Enter key. Your Minecraft world is now created. Now it is time to configure it.



Minecraft Server Settings



No matter where you saved Minecraft_Server.exe, you will see two files named server. One of these files will be listed in the properties file. Right-click this file and choose Edit to open it inside of Notepad. 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. While most of the default values are fine, there are some you might want to change.



Gamemode - This setting is for the type of world you and your friends wish to play. The default value of this setting is 0, which will allow you to survive in basic survival mode. Changing this value to 1 will change your server to creative mode. Difficulty-Difficulty is clearly named. Depending on what you want to play, the values can be changed from 0 to 3 (peaceful) White-list - White-list is used to keep others off of your server.

But if some of your friends will be playing from their own house, you'll have to configure the router so that it forwards port 25575 (TCP) to the server. This step is not difficult, but it takes a little bit of knowledge.



Once you are ready to receive outside connections from your server, restart it by running Minecraft_Server.exe. If you don’t know what your IP is, you can search Google "what my ip". This is the IP address that other players will use in order to connect to your server.



That's all there is to it. You have created a shared world that you and your friends can enjoy. Keep checking the Minecraft site for updates. Enjoy your time building together.
