About this video: This video is our complete guide on how to make a Minecraft server in 2024. We cover all that you’ll need to know to host a Minecraft server on your own computer and join it. This is all done using the official Minecraft server software for complete free.
There some things you need to know before making a Minecraft server on your own computer though. First, you will need a decent computer in order to host a server as it can be reousrce intensive. On top of that, the server is only meant for your friends and family as it is hosted on your own internet. You will also need a good internet connection and some technical skills in order to host a server. You will also need Java installed, and we have guides on getting Java in the description above!
With that in mind, we can now jump into how to create a Minecraft server in 2024. To get started, you will need to download the Minecraft server software. You can find a link in the description above that will take you to our compete text guide on making a Minecraft server. On this page, there is a link to download the server software.
Click that link will take you Minecraft’s official website. On this page, click on the “download minecraft_server.jar” link. The link will have the current, most recent version of Minecraft linked in it. When you click this link, the download will begin right away.
With the server.jar downloaded, create a new folder on your desktop called “Minecraft Server”. Then, drag-and-drop the server.jar into this folder. To start your server, double-click the server.jar. Some files and folders should appear, and one of these should be an eula.txt.
Open the eula file in notepad, and assuming you agree to the EULA, change “eula=false” to “eula=true” and save the file. Now, when you double-click the server.jar, your Minecraft server will start.
To join this server, you can use the IP address “localhost” in Minecraft. However, in order for your friends to join your Minecraft server, you will need to port forward.
There is a complete guide on how to port forward a Minecraft server linked in the description above, but the quick guide is that you will need to forward port 25565 on the TCP and UDP protocols. Once you do that, your friends will be able to join using your public IP address. Sadly, port forwarding is required in order to play Minecraft with your friends on your server.
I also want to note that if you want to add mods to your server or start a server with plugins, that does require different server software, and we have guides on both of those server types on our server article linked above.
Nevertheless, at this point, you now know how to make a Minecraft server in 2024. If you have any questions about how to create a Minecraft server, please us know in the comments. We will try our best to help you out.
