Many  people  set  up  a  Minecraft  server  so  players  of  Minecraft  can  play  on,  interact  with  other  users,  build  awesome  structures,  and  survive  the  night  by  building  a  shelter  to  protect  from  the  monsters  that  spawn  inside  darkness.  That  said,  all  of  the  servers  you  played  on  all  had  to  be  set  up.  In  this  speech,  I  will  be  discussing  how  to  set  up  a  Minercraft  Bukkit  server  so  you  can  have  players  play  on  your  very  own  Minecraft  server!

First,  download  the  Bukkit  1.8  Java  Archive  (also  known  as  a  “.jar”  file)  from  the  Bukkit  forums.  Then,  place  the  file  inside  a  directory,  which  can  be  created  by  right  clicking  the  desktop  background  and  clicking   New  Desktop.  Name  the  folder  a  name  such  as  “Server”.



Next,  create  a  text  document,  open  the  text  document  and  enter  java -Xmx1024M -jar craftbukkit.jar -o  true   and  on  another  line,  enter  PAUSE . After  you  have  inputted  those  lines  of  code,  click  Save  as  and  enter run.bat  in  double  quotes!  After  that,  close  the  text  editor  and



Then,  double  click  the  run.bat  file  and  the  server  should  start.  If  you  get  an  error  stating  “'java’' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.”  then  you  need  to  reinstall  Java,  and  leave  the  install  path  unchanged  and  after  reinstalling  Java,  retry  running  the  server  and  the  server  should  work.  If  the  server  still  does  not  work,  add  Java  to  the  system  path  by  searching  Variable  in  the  search  bar  in  the  Windows  start  menu  and  choose  Edit  Environment  Variables for  your  account.  And  under  user  variables,  append  a  semicolon  and  then  the  Java  installation  path,  which  should  be  C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre1.8.0_25\bin\  if  you  have  32   bit  Java  on  64  bit  Windows,  C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.8.0_25\bin\  if  you  have   64 bit  Java  on  64  bit  Windows.  If  you  have 32  bit  Java  on  32  bit  Windows,  the  path  is C:\Program  Files\Java\jre1.8.0_25\bin\  which  is  the  same  if  you  have  64  bit  Java  on  64  bit  Windows.  If  you  do  not  have  Java  8  update  25.  Update  Java.



After  you  have  reinstalled  Java  or  added  Java  to  the  system  path,  double  click  the  run.bat  file  again  and  the  server  will  start.  Due  to  the  server  running  for  the  first  time,  the  console  will  generate  errors,  but  that  is  normal.  That  is  due  to  the  server  generating  files  that  otherwise  do  not  exist  at  first. However,  the  server  will  stop  after  a  short  period  of  time.  That  is  due  to  a  new  file  called eula.txt. That  is  there  due  to   Mojang  changing  the  rule  that  states  that  any  items  bought  using  hard  currency  can  only  be  cosmetic (such  as  a  coloured  username  tag, coloured  chat, and  coloured  hats) and  not  game  changing  (such  as  a  plot  of  land,  item  spawner or  ‘kits’  that  contain  game  changing  items).   If  you  want  to  sell  game  changing  items,  you  must  use  soft  currency (such  as  gold,  diamonds,  emeralds).  However,  soft  currency  has  no  real  world  value. Capes  are an exception to this rule.  That  is  because  Mojang  has  a  lot  of  fun  making   awesome  capes  for  special  members  of  the  community  and  Minecon attendees  and  Mojang  likes to keep them as exclusive as possible. Therefore,  you  are  not  allowed  to  give  away  capes,  even  if  you  are  giving  capes  away  for  free.   After  acknowledging  the  rules  of  Mojang’s  EULA,  open  eula.txt  and   substitute  eula=false  with  eula=true .  After  substituting  false  with  true,  save  the  file  and  close  the  text  editor  and  restart  the  server.  The  server  will  work  and  generate  the  remainder  of  the  files,  such  as  the  list  of  banned  IP  addresses,  banned  players  ,operators,  and  other  files.  To  stop  the  server,  issue  the  command  stop   in  the  server  console.  The  server  will  save  all  data  and  shutdown  the  server.  For  anyone  to  connect  to  the  server,  you  need  your  IPv4  (Internet   Protocol version 4)  address  and  your  public  IP  addresses.  To  find  your  IPv4  address,  open  the  Windows  start  menu  and  search  cmd  in  the  search  bar,  select  the  first  item  in  the  list  and  issue  the  command  ipconfig  and  locate  IPv4  address  under  Wireless  Network  Connection  or  Ethernet adapter Local Area Connection.   The  results  vary,  depending  on  whether  you  are  hosting  on  a  wireless  network  connection  or  wired  network  connection.  However,  hosting  on  a  wireless  network  isn’t  the  best  due  to  security  and  speed,  but  is  possible,  mainly  if  a  wired  network  connection  is  not  possible.  So  after  locating  your  IPv4  address,  issue  the  IPv4  address  to  any  players  on  your  local  area  network,  if  you  want  to  connect,  use  the  same  IPv4  address  or  localhost   instead.  For  anyone  beyond  your  local  area  network,  you  need  your  public  IP  address.  You  can  find  your  public  IP  address  by  searching  the  two  letters  ip  into  a  search  engine.  You  can  find  your  public  IP  address   that  way.  However,  you  aren’t  out  of  the  woods   yet,  you  still  have  to  port  forward  with  your  router,  which  I won’t  discuss  how  to,  because  discussing  routers  deserves  a  seperate  discussion ,  also I  don’t  know  what  kind  of  router  you  have ,  and  you  probably  do  not  know  or  even  shouldn’t  know  how  to  change  settings  in  your  router.  So,  you  will  have  to  ask  your  parent  to  forward  TCP  (Transmission  Control  Protocol) port  25565.  If  your  parent  asks  “Why  do  you  have  to  port  forward?”,  tell  your  parents  “Anyone  beyond  the  network  can’t  connect  unless  we  port  forward!”



If  you  want  to  use  world  data  from  your  Minecraft  client,  search  the  name  of  your  world  files  in  the  start  menu  search  bar,  right  click  the  folder  containing  the  world  files  and  choose  copy.  Copy  the  world  files  to  the  folder  where  the  server  is  running.  Before  using  your  world  files,  backup  the  world  data  in  a  seperate  folder  in  case  the  word  files  become  corrupted  with  use  of  the  server.  Also,  the  world  files  must  be  running  the  same  version  as  the  server,  otherwise  the  server  files  become  corrupted.  Also,  it  is  possible  to  use  a  1.7.x  world  on  a  server  between  1.7 and  1.7.10 . After  that,  open  server.properties  and  edit  level-name  by  replacing  world  with  the  name  of  the  world  you  copied.



To  give  yourself  operator  status,  issue  the  command  op <your  ingame name>  at  the  server  console.  Remember  to  replace  your ingame name  with  your  actual  Minecraft  username.



To  install  Bukkit  plugins,  download  the  .jar  file  for  the  plugin  from  the  Internet.  It  is  not  recommended  to  get   plugins  via  email  due  to  plugins  acquired  via  email  can  contain  viruses,  which  are  harmful  computer  elements.  Place  the  .jar  file  inside  the  plugins   folder.  The  plugin  does  not  immediately  work,  so  you  need  to  reload  the  server  by  issuing  the  command  reload  into  the  server  console  to  reload  the  server.  To  view  the  list  of  installed   plugins,  issue  the  command  /plugins  in  the  server  console.


If   you  get  a  “Failed  to  bind  to  port!”  error,  either  a  service  is  using  that  port  in  question  or  leave  server-ip   inside  server.properties  blank  or  allow  the  TCP  port  25565  to  communicate  through  the  firewall  by  searching  the  word  firewall   in  the  search  bar  inside  the  Windows  start  menu.  In  the  menu,  choose  Windows Firewall with  Advanced Security  and  go  to  inbound rules  and  select  add new  rule  and  select  port  and  click  Next   and   select  TCP  and   Specific Local  Ports  and  enter  25565  and  select  Allow   this  connection  and  click  next  twice  and  input  Minecraft-Server  for  the  rule  name  and  you  can  leave  the   Description  box  blank. Another  factor  that  can  give  you  the  error  is  if  your  ISP (Internet  Service  Provider)  blocked  that   port  for  security  reasons,  so  change  25565  in  server.properties  with  a  different  port  number,  such  as  25566.

After  you  have  done  all  of  the  above, you should have a successfully running server that anyone can connect to; I hope this guide helps you run a successful Minecraft server!



EDIT: This works with Spigot, instead, use the .jar for the Spigot server, instead.

I know, I run my own server xD

It's also uses Bungeecord so Spigots required. I like it more because it runs better. ^v^

Yes, but you would save it as a .sh file instead, I believe
