Hello PlanetMinecraft! Today I am going to show you EVERYTHING you need to know to run a server! This blog will be updated CONSTANTLY. It will contain a full tutorial for ALL major plugins. The tutorials will be sorted in "spoiler text" boxes so they will be easy to find. The setup will be in order that you do them from scratch and the plugin tutorials will be in alphabetical order. Remember, these tutorials are for Windows based computers. For Linux or Mac, please PM me and I will assist you.

THERE IS MORE TO COME!


Adding Plugins
  1. Download the desired plugin.
  2. Open your server file, or FTP server.
  3. Locate the .jar file you downloaded.
  4. Drag and drop the .jar into the plugins folder in your server file.
  5. Restart the server or type the command /reload.


Creating a Server
  1. Create a blank folder on your desktop and name it "server"
  2. Visitthis website and click on the latest number. (Example: #2882)
  3. Download the latest release.
  4. Drop the "craftbukkit.jar" in the server file. It will not be named just "craftbukkit.jar" when you download it. Please rename it to exactly "craftbukkit.jar" (without the quotes).
  5. Right click inside the folder, create a new text document. It does not matter what it is named.
  6. Right click it, click rename, then backspace EVERYTHING in the box. Even the .txt.
  7. Name it run.bat then press enter.
  8. Right click on your run.bat file and click edit.
  9. Type this in the run.bat file:
    java -Xmx1g -jar craftbukkit.jar -o true
    PAUSE

  10. Change the "1g" in -Xmx1g to allocate more ram to the server.
    If you do not know what this is, please leave the code above alone.
    1g = 1gigabyte
    1024m = 1gigabyte
  11. Save and close the run.bat and double click it. A CMD window should open up and start the server.
  12. Close the server. Configuration files have been generated. Feel free to play with these as you wish.
