Credit: I have built in smithy21200's awesome auto-portforward tool in this so you don't have to! But you will still need this tutorial. Check out his page.

I did not help in the making of the auto portforward tool, however, I did configure the rest of the server and install of the plugins, make everything work, and make this tutorial.


Warning: While running a server on a computer, I highly suggest you use an old laptop or something, because when you use a computer with a server on it, it will lag the server.  But the more ram, the better.


First download this zip for your main file. Don't touch anything unless I say in the steps.

The download link is: www.mediafire.com/download/z411e214605dqss/Your+Easy+Server.zip

Extract the zip onto your desktop for a folder.

Now, you want to find out how much ram the computer you're using has, so go Control Panel, System, and under Installed Memory (RAM) it will say something like 4 GB or 6 GB, etc.

Open the folder from the zip you downloaded. Now right click settings.bat and click edit, a notepad should open up with the following text.



See the yellow number in the spoiler? If you have 4 GB make that number say 2048 if you have 6 GB make it say 3072. Then save the notepad and close it. Now, see the file called startserver.bat? Double click it and a terminal-like thing will open up. Wait one minute. A bunch of things on it should have came up. Now, go to this website. A bunch of paragraphs will be displayed but ontop of them, there will be a number in a large font. For example, 12.123.45.678.

Your terminal-like thing should still be open. Now open minecraft with 1..7.10 and type in that number you got on that website and connet. You have connected to your server!

If you go to the terminal you should see something like "(IGN) joined the server." That's normal. Now go to that terminal, and there are a few commands you should type in:

BUT WAIT! When you type commands in the terminal, do not put the slash.

First,

op (Your Minecraft Username)

manuadd (Your Minecraft Username) owner

manuadd (Anybody you trust) moderator




Now, when you want to make somebody a moderator, which has the same as the default rank, Member, but with /jail, /kick, /ban, and /mute, type in from the game:

/manuadd (The Minecraft Username) Moderator


Congrats you have a server! Go in gamemode 1 and build your spawn and go to it and type /esetspawn


BUT WAIT!

I already installed an anti-hack plugin, worldedit, for easy building, essentials which has lots of useful commands, groupmanager which has groups like Member and Owner,  and WORLDGUARD, which lets you protect certain areas.



BUT WAIT! IMPORTANT!


Worldguard, worldedit, and making new ranks on GroupManager can be hard, so if you want me to make tutorials on each of these plugins, making kits, getting players, and making a website, then help me try to get 15 diamonds on this, 3 favorites, and 5 positive comments.

BUT WAIT AGAIN!!!

If you are running the server on a laptop, the server will close when you shut the lid,.

ALSO! DO NOT CLOSE THE TERMINAL WITH THE RED X OR DATA LOSS MAY OCCUR

WHEN YOU WANT TO TURN YOUR SERVER OFF YOU GO INTO THE TERMINAL AND TYPE THIS COMMAND:

stop


Then, after about 20 seconds, it will say "Press any key to continue" and hit a key on your keyboard. Congrats! You're done!
