Minecraft 1.8 how to create a server on a network. Creating a Minecraft Server
In this instruction, I will teach you how to create mine own server Minecraft without Hamachi help and other applications. So, let's get started!
To create a server, you need to meet several requirements. Most of them depend on the provider providing their services to you. Your IP must be static, otherwise they won’t be able to connect to you. If it is dynamic, then you can use third-party sites to third level domain registration. Also, your ports must be open.
If you don’t have a static IP or are too lazy to open ports, you can use the instructions.
Instructions(we do everything in order):
1) First, download the server itself. For Windows, select file Minecraft_Server.exe You can download it on the official Mojang page.
2) After downloading this file, place it in the folder in which the server will be located. Then, run it and it will create the necessary folders and server files. After the world is generated, we turn off the server and start setting up.
(This is what the server folder looks like)
3) After this, you need to find out your IP in order to subsequently enter it in the required settings line. You can find out the IP.
4) The main server configuration file is server.properties, it looks like this:
The main setting is the field: server-ip=, in which you need to enter the address of your computer (IP) after the "=".
This is what it should look like: server-ip= 109.169.230.149
Apart from this, here you can also set up your server according to some of the parameters, for example, disable monster spawning, install your own map, whitelist, online mod and much more.
Save the settings and start the server!
5) The server is ready and to connect to it, players just need to enter your IP in the server connection field.
6) This is what the server log will look like when they try to connect to it.
If you want to play with friends on pirate Minecraft versions, disable authentication by replacing the line:
online-mode= true
to the value:
online-mode= false
================================================
If you have problems creating a server, please describe it in detail in the comments. Our specialists will try to help you.Before I start talking about the technical details, I want to clarify the situation regarding the creation of a “live and visited” server. These stages are divided into three parts:
- Server creation;
- Configuring and installing plugins;
- Attracting players.
If the first point takes 30 minutes, the second one can take a whole day (using plugins, you can make your own unique “world” of Minecraft), and the third one is an activity for an indefinite period of time.
Creating your own server, inviting friends to it, playing for a couple of evenings is not difficult, but in order for your server to become famous and visited, you will need to work hard, and this work will be far from the game - buying a dedicated IP, creating a server site, its advertising, promotion, purchasing a dedicated server for the game, etc.
In this article I will talk only about the first, most simple point- creating your own server on your personal computer, without a dedicated IP.
Types of servers
There are several “packages” of servers - original, so to speak “clean”, and immediately with some package of mods. The instructions follow an example of installation official version. Once you deal with her, you will deal with others too.
Instructions
1. Go to the page http://www.minecraft.net/download.jsp
Download Minecraft_Server.exe. The official website always contains the latest version of the server.
Note: as of today (November 5, 2011), at official server The server version is 1.8.1, while most players already have . Download server part for 1.9.5: (downloads: 32767)
2. Transfer the downloaded file Minecraft_Server.exe (or minecraft_server.jar) to the folder in which you will have the server (do not run it on the desktop).
3. If you have port 25565 open, you will see the following window:
Wait for the process to complete. After which close the window.
If the port is closed, or something is blocking the operation of Minecraft_Server.exe or Java, the following message will appear:
What to do if nothing works out?
I myself suffered a lot when I made the server for the first time (especially with this port 25565), and I tried to write all the conclusions in this instruction. But if something still doesn’t work out for you, then go to our forum in the minecraft section (don’t be alarmed that it’s empty yet - we just opened the section), and create a topic where write in detail: yours operating system, the antivirus/firewall that is installed on the computer, what you are doing, and what errors occur, preferably with screenshots.
AND we will deal with each separately(determine what is the cause of the error and how to fix it), and then supplement this instruction with new conclusions. It is useless to write about errors in the comments - because... Many people comment, but you need to deal with each individually.
In the comments to this instruction, it is better to write not about problems, but about how you solved a problem. In this case, comments will be helpful.
I reject offers to log into Skype or connect via TeamViewer and “solve everything” there, because... firstly, I may be away/busy, and other participants on the forum can help you, and secondly, because my task is to write instructions so that you can start the server.
Greetings, active diggers in Minecraft! I’ll be honest, a couple of years ago I myself became actively addicted to this toy and killed a lot of time in it, which I now regret (the toy is very interesting but takes a lot of time). After playing a single-player game and building everything that was interesting to me, I got bored, and it was decided to play with friends online, and then on the Internet...
How to create a Minecraft server (Hamachi and LAN)
This note promises to be long, but we will not consider various mods and additions, we will create an original Minecraft server. Perhaps in the future I will try some interesting additions in practice, but now I don’t see the point in rewriting other people’s articles for show. So let's look at how to create a Minecraft server (Original)
About two years ago I bought myself a premium account of this wonderful game, but this is an optional condition for the server, we can download the server from the official website and allow pirate users to play with you. Surely there is a desire to play with friends, but friends have no desire to buy the game (personally, I’m more interested in playing with friends from offline than with strangers from nowhere.) So to speak, let’s create our own Minecraft server with blackjack and sh….
In fact, creating a server is as easy as shelling pears, but setting up a connection to it is exactly the most interesting thing, because this is no longer relevant to the game, but it is on these things that we will focus our attention, since little has been written about this, and questions arise like the rule is precisely in these moments.
1. Create and configure a Minecraft server
If anyone doesn’t know, the Minecraft game is written in JAVA and requires the appropriate software, the server was no exception. So we need to download and install current version Java, but if Minecraft works for you without problems, then you have everything you need installed on your system and no additional programs no need!
We have downloaded and installed everything we need, now let’s move directly to setting up the Minecrfat server. The latest version is always available on the official website on the downloads page. You can download the server directly from there without any registration, absolutely free.
Download the Minecraft server to your computer and, for convenience, put it in separate folder(for example, I put it in the MINE_SERVER folder - this is necessary because the server will create configuration files when it first starts, and I don’t like a mishmash of unknown things in one folder)
We start the server and wait until the world is generated, and at the same time the configuration files are created, after which we close the Minecraft server
After the first launch, a server.properties file will be created, in which all our settings are stored (you can open it using notepad, if you don’t know how to do this, read the article:). We look at the basic settings Minecraft servers and therefore I will make minimal changes, namely, I will allow pirate owners to use the server. To do this, I will write false in the online-mode parameter, this will tell the server not to check those connecting for the presence of a premium account.
Now we restart the Minecraft server (but with our settings) and try to connect to it. Since the server is located on our computer, we write in the server address localhost.
And now we are already in the game...
The same can be seen in the server.
This completes the creation of the server, now let's move on to the most interesting part - we are trying to provide our friends with access to this server.
2. Set up a connection to the Minecraft server via Hamachi
The most in a simple way playing games over the Internet, I consider creating a virtual network using the Hamachi program. However, there is one drawback: free version will allow you to create a network of up to 5 computers. Let's take a closer look at this option:
Installing Hamachi to create a Minecraft server is very simple, you just need to create a connection on the main one and connect to it on the client ones, that's all)
Hamachi installation(Click to view)
Launch the installer and select the language
Program information
License Agreement
Installation options
Install Google Chrome as desired
Installation…
Installation complete
Now let's proceed directly to the hamachi settings. Click the “Enable” button
Come up with a computer name on the network and click Create
Then go to “Network” “Create a new network”
We come up with a name and password for new network(be sure to come up with a good password, because you will essentially be creating an ordinary local network, and you expose your computer to additional vulnerability if someone can guess the password)
After you have created your network, your comrades should launch Hamachi at their place, and select “Network” “Connect to an existing network”
Enter the name and password for the created network
Now on the main computer you can see who is connected
There is no point in creating a Minecraft server on the client machine; now we need to connect the lane to the server. To do this, we need the IP address of the server, since we use hamachi, we look at the IP in the program on the computer where the Minecraft SERVER is installed.
Then we enter it into the server address
...and we see that the Minecraft server is running and is ready to provide us with access to the game
That's all, as you can see, playing Minecraft online is very easy through Hamachi!
3. How to open port 25465
In order for the Minecraft server to be available for play from the Internet, we need to open port 25465. I will open it using the example of a standard firewall in Windows 8.1, but keep in mind that if you have third-party software, you need to configure it in it. Let's go!
In the Control Panel, go to “System and Security”
Open "Windows Firewall"
Click on “Advanced options”
Select incoming connections on the left and in the menu select “Actions”, “Create rule...”
for port
write the port number and select the protocol...
...and allow the connection...
...Check all the boxes...
Please note that this action must be performed for both protocols (TCP and UDP)
We are coming up with names for the ports...
...and the rules should look something like what I have in the picture below
We do the same for outgoing connections.
At this point, the opening of the port is completed, sometimes in order to process changes correctly it may be necessary to restart the computer (I don’t know what this is connected with)
4. Set up a connection to the Minecraft server without third-party applications
Actually, there’s nothing special to configure. We need to find out our external IP address, which can be done by going to the website 2ip.ru
You can also check if the port is open...
Enter the port number and click “Check”
After a short wait, you will receive a message that the port is open, if, of course, you have configured everything correctly
The next point is port forwarding from external IP to internal IP. This looks different for each router; you can read about DIR 300 and port forwarding there.
Therefore, you need to connect to such a server using its external IP address (for clients); the server owner can log in via localhost.
P.S. Well, now you know how to create a Minecraft server, if you have mastered this material, then you will figure out your further settings yourself and customize everything for yourself. All the best!
As fun as Minecraft's single-player mode is, multiplayer, where you can play with friends, is much more fun. There are several ways to play Minecraft in multiplayer. One of them is to create a Minecraft server that you and your friends can connect to. Of course, existing servers can also be used for this purpose.
In this guide, we'll show you how to create a Minecraft server for you and your friends on your home PC.
First you need to download the .jar version of the server
Place the downloaded jar file in a folder. It doesn't matter where she is. Next, you need to prepare the file that will launch your server.
Creating a Batch File
Create a new text document and add the following lines to it:
@echo off
title run-minecraft
java -Xms1024M -Xmx2048M -jar minecraft_server.jar nogui
pause
This means we want java to run our server "minecraft_server.jar" with 1024 megabytes (1 gigabyte) RAM. If an error appears, reduce the RAM values to 512 MB, it helped me and the server started!
To run the server with more memory, simply change the -xms and -xmx values. Moreover, they must be equal to the numbers 64, 128, 256, 512, and so on.
To save a file in .bat format, click the File button in the upper left corner of the screen, select Save As, then under the “File name” field, select All files. This is very important. Name your file start or start server and click Save. Then change the file extension from .txt to .bat
Or you can download my bat file here: (to change it, right-click on the file and select “Edit”).
User agreement and server launch
After completing the previous step, start your server. First, it will close instantly as you need to accept user agreement. To do this, open the text document with the agreement that appears in the folder, change the line eula=false to eula=true, save it and start the server again.
Your server should start normally and begin generating the world and creating others important files, like server.properties, whitelist, banned-players and so on.
Connecting to the server
To connect to the server we just created, you, as the owner, just need to go to multiplayer and add a server, specifying “localhost” as the IP address.
As for your friends, you can give them your external IP address, to find it out, go to the website 2ip.ru. In addition, your router should have ports 25565 through 25566 forwarded. An excellent video on port forwarding can be found below.
I hope this quick guide will help you create a Minecraft 1.8 server for you and your friends, and then have a great time together! If you still have any questions, ask them in the comments below!
Now many fans are very interested in setting up a Minecraft server, because not everyone manages to do it the first time. This is where it is given detailed instructions and the most important problems that arise in most cases from inept programmers.
Before that, you should know the types of “packages”. There are several of them: original (clean) and with a set of certain mods. Having dealt with the standard version of the server of a popular game, it will be much easier to understand the essence of other varieties.
Brief Introduction
For every creator similar server The most important thing will be attendance. Therefore, first of all, you need to know how to create a live and fairly visited server without extra costs. In fact, setting up a Minecraft server is carried out in three simple steps:
The first item on this list can be completed in just half an hour, the second may require a whole day to fully develop, but the third requires an indefinite amount of time.
Each gamer can simply create a server to play there with his friends. But it will be much more interesting to develop it in order to glorify it among the majority of players. Promotion will require a lot of time and effort, although this will have nothing to do with the game. To do this, you will need to create a separate website, promote your own advertising on third-party resources, and so on.
Download all necessary programs
The first step is to ensure the correct operation of the server, for which the Java package on the computer will definitely come in handy. It must be installed first by downloading it from the official website. If the package is already available on your personal computer, then the game client will launch instantly. In that case additional installation different programs will no longer be required.
Next, you need to visit the game developer’s download page and download the server part itself. Many versions are located in the MultiplayerServer section, where each player has an excellent opportunity to choose the most suitable one for himself. The file must be saved in a specific folder, which in the future will become the basis for a new “package”.
Like playing Minecraft without much effort, we now understand, but the next steps will not be so simple.
Creation and configuration
In this section, setting up the Minecraft server will be a little more complicated, but overall there will not be any particular difficulties. After downloading the server part to a personal computer, it must be launched. First, you need to wait for the generation to complete, and at this time there will already be several new files and folders in the database. All the main settings can be found in a file called server.properties. It's best to download it to text document, then all symbols will open without problems.
Creating a Minecraft server without registration is quite easy, since the developers took care of the convenience of users and removed all additional items that take up some time (messages on mobile phone for confirmation, email, etc.).
It would seem that all the basic settings have been completed, and you can already start enjoying your favorite game. But still, for complete safety and reliability, it is worth performing a few more settings:
- You don’t have to touch the server-ip field, since immediately after the game starts, all the necessary parameters will be entered automatically.
- The gamemode field will need to be filled in with the name game mode. All players who join the server will be automatically directed to it.
- When you enable the white-list, you must add yourself to the white list or make yourself an operator.
If you change any of the parameters, the server must be restarted in any case so that the program begins to function normally and does not cause glitches, lags, and so on. Better yet, customize additional options while the server is in a completely offline state.
Connecting to the server
It should be noted that not only users of one local network, but also other gamers from the Internet. Most often, a server is created on the computer where the game itself will be played. In this case, you must enter the connection address: 127.0.0.1 or simply localhost. This Minecraft server IP will, of course, be used by the network interface. Its advantage is its availability even when away network card on a computer device.
Now Minecraft servers with a launcher are becoming more and more popular. Note that in them all these settings items will be exactly the same. All difficulties that arise lead to the need to check the antivirus and, just in case, the firewall. You may have to add the server with the port to the exceptions, but such problems are very rare, and professionals can find many solutions for them.
Setting up via local network
Now playing on the Minecraft server will be very interesting and even educational for all players. It will be much easier to set it up here. Any beginner in this business will love this option. Among other things, the local network guarantees a normal connection to the service and a significantly lower number of errors.
Players have the opportunity to open the world from the game in single player mode for the local network. This is done quite simply and quickly: you need to load the world itself, press pause and select an item in the menu called “Open the world for the local network”. But you should definitely take into account that the server owner in this situation is significantly limited in management capabilities.
Of course, Minecraft servers with a launcher also belong to the local network, and problems with them are extremely rare.
Connection
As you know, in order for other players to connect to a specific server, they personal computers must be located in the same local network together with the base server, that is, with the owner’s computer.
There is a special line for the address where you need to enter the data of the computer with the main server.
Setting up a game using the Internet
When using the Internet, setting up a Minecraft server is much easier and faster. The static address does not contain any problems, so you can safely work with it. You can find out through special services, of which there are now a large number on the Internet.
To connect other players to to the required server You must enter this address and then click the "Connect" button. Some problems can sometimes arise with this point, but here a program called Hamachi will come to the rescue. It allows a computer to assign an external static address. Knowing it, all players who want to connect will be able to carry out this action in a matter of seconds. In addition to this program, you can find some more similar ones that will function on exactly the same principle.
So you can create good server, which will gather quite a lot of active players in the future. On free servers Modern gamers visit Minecraft quite often, so their number is rapidly increasing.
Administration
The administration process is easy. At this time, the player will have to manage and ensure correct operation without unnecessary crashes. The command line will be a good helper in this matter.
The server GUI windows contain interesting elements:
- Information window shows necessary information on the use of RAM. There is a dynamic graph on which everything is clearly expressed.
- The list of players shows all the nicknames of people who connected and started playing on this server.
And the most important part of these windows is command line. She always helps in any matter related to computers, so this couldn’t be done without her. With its help, the administrator is given the opportunity to ban players, whitelist them, grant powers, and so on.
And Minecraft servers without registration are available to absolutely every gamer in different countries.
Reasons for defining a server as offline
Playing on the Minecraft server offline is impossible, so when such a problem appears, you must immediately look for ways to solve it and eliminate it.
You need to immediately check the IP, it must be external. If you do not understand this definition, you should definitely call or write a letter to the support service, where they will sort out this issue.
An external address using a router must be forwarded via Virtual Server or Port Forwarding. If not, then you should perform this action, it will not take too much time.
If this is not the problem, then the last option is to disable the antivirus. While connecting to the server, the antivirus itself must be completely disabled, and then added to the exceptions.
Unfortunately, Russian Minecraft servers quite often produce similar problems.
Defining the server as Unnamed Server
Unfortunately, free Minecraft servers more often present this problem, but there are still methods to combat it.
The standard file through which all settings were made should contain the following option - motd=Minecraft Server Name. If it is missing, you need to add it to the very end, changing it to the server name.
If the result of such actions is unsuccessful, you will have to configure everything manually. To do this, you need to go to the server and click "Edit".
Reasons for removing a server from monitoring
Now the IPs of Minecraft servers play an important role in promotion, so problems can also occur because of them.
First you need to try to independently search for the server by address, typing it into the address bar present on home page. There may also be a situation where the server will not be deleted, but simply hidden for other players. And this happens because it is offline for two hours or more. In this case, the server will return to its place after half an hour has passed online.
Now you know how to promote your own Minecraft server. Android is a platform that also allows you to play such a wonderful game, but the settings here will be completely different. Despite the graphics and image clarity, this program has many fans on phones and tablets.
