In this video we will learn how to install Minecraft server on an Ubuntu Linux instance.

Full Instructions: http://stopitsomemore.com/tutorials/Minecraft%20Server%20on%20Linux.pdf

Part 1, Installing Minecraft on Linux Server

1. Install Ubuntu Server, GUI or CLI. I’m using CLI.
1. See my video on installing Ubuntu Server. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vu-NvH34PZY

2. Install Java JRE and set default

curl -L -b "oraclelicense=a" -O https://download.oracle.com/otn-pub/java/jdk/8u251-b08/3d5a2bb8f8d4428bbe94aed7ec7ae784/jre-8u251-linux-x64.tar.gz

sudo mkdir /usr/local/oracle-java-8

sudo tar -zxf jre-8u251-linux-x64.tar.gz -C /usr/local/oracle-java-8

sudo update-alternatives --install "/usr/bin/java" "java" "/usr/local/oracle-java-8/jre1.8.0_251/bin/java" 1500

sudo update-alternatives --install "/usr/bin/javaws" "javaws" "/usr/local/oracle-java-8/jre1.8.0_251/bin/javaws" 1500

update-alternatives --config java

3. Create user for minecraft

useradd --no-create-home --shell /usr/sbin/nologin --user-group mcserver

4. Create folder structure for Minecraft

mkdir /games
cd /games
mkdir minecraft
chown -R mcserver:mcserver minecraft
chmod -R 750 minecraft

5. Download Minecraft Server .jar. https://mcversions.net/download/1.13.2

cd /games/minecraft

wget https://launcher.mojang.com/v1/objects/3737db93722a9e39eeada7c27e7aca28b144ffa7/server.jar

java -jar server.jar

vi eula.txt

java -jar server.jar

op desertmoose706
/whitelist add desertmoose706

CTRL-C

cat whitelist.json
cat ops.json

6. Edit server.properties and enable whitelist

#Minecraft server properties
#Wed May 13 00:01:53 UTC 2020
spawn-protection=16
force-gamemode=false
allow-nether=true
enforce-whitelist=true
gamemode=0

generate-structures=true
online-mode=true
max-build-height=256
level-seed=
use-native-transport=true
prevent-proxy-connections=false
motd=A Minecraft Server
enable-rcon=false

7. Create startmc.sh

vi /games/minecraft/startmc.sh

#!/bin/bash

#set location
cd /games/minecraft

#start game
java -Xmx2048M -Xms2048M -XX:+UseConcMarkSweepGC -XX:+UseParNewGC -XX:+CMSIncrementalPacing -XX:ParallelGCThreads=2 -XX:+AggressiveOpts -jar server.jar nogui

chmod +x startmc.sh

8. Create service for minecraft server auto start

vi /etc/systemd/system/minecraft-server.service

Description=MINECRAFT_SERVER

Wants=network.target
After=syslog.target network-online.target

[Service]
Type=simple
User=mcserver
ExecStart=/games/minecraft/startmc.sh
Restart=on-failure
RestartSec=10
KillMode=mixed

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

systemctl daemon-reload

9. First Minecraft run

systemctl enable minecraft-server.service
systemctl start minecraft-server
systemctl status minecraft-server

Part 2, Exposing to the Internet for Friends

1. Enable whitelist!!
2. Expose externally for friends, port forwarding aka NAT, ONLY port 25565
3. Dynamic DNS for dynamic IPs, vs static. Noip.com, Dynamic DNS Update Client for Linux
