The Description was invented so people know what they're downloading, so I will not answer any questions to people who have obviously not read it and then spam the comments! Thank you.

About

I've seen a lot of people asking how to set up a server lately. That's why I decided to create a program that helps people to create server in a much easier fashion. The QuickClick Server Creator will Download the latest CraftBukkit Build and create a simple Bukkit Server without any Plugins. Also, it offers a clean User Interface to customize the Server Settings, and it has a comprehensive help section that explains every single option.

THE SERVER CREATOR DOES NOT PORT FORWARD FOR YOU! To do so, look at other tutorials, I don't offer any support for that.



Usage

I am not responsible for any problems or casualties that the server may have/cause. Also, I do not offer any support for the server itself, only for the program. For information on the server, go to http://www.bukkit.org.

I do not own the plugins available for download in the Server Creator and I do not distribute them.

The QuickClick Server Creator is distributed as is, and I will not guarantee that it always works correctly. Usage on your own risk!
If you do run into a problem with the program that is NOT explained in the help files, feel free to post it in the comments. 
The Server Creator requires an internet connection! If you aren't connected to the internet and started it already, connect to the internet, restart the program and try again!

If the .bat only says "Press any Key to continue...", open the folder dist and start the Server Creator.exe. if that doesn't work either, open the TaskManager, go to processes, end the process "Server Creator.exe" and try again.

The newer versions will be in a different format, as a single .exe!

The software is available as-is. I don't guarantee that it works for everyone, but if anybody really read this, they'd already know that, and used the Alternative Installation.

About the Virus Problem

Please, stop spamming the comments about that. I don't know why some AntiVirus Programs are detecting a virus in this!

Also, I have put the source code online for everyone to look at, if you know just a little bit about programming, you'll see it's not a Virus.

Announcements

04.06.2012 17:15:
I just uploaded a tar.gz to MediaFire. It contains a linux-compatible version of the ServerCreator.  I had to remove a few functions because they were not compatible with Linux Shell commands and I will have to port every new version to Linux once I have the Windows version. This is a lot of work and it will take some time, so please don't spam the comments because something doesn't do what it's meant to do. That does NOT help! Also: I will now start filming a tutorial on how to set the Server Creator up on Windows with Python if the Executables don't work.
- Peter
EDIT: I don't what stupid little flamer flagged this, but better he'd better hope I don't find out who it was -.-'' This is supposed to help noobs like him set up a server, and what do I get in return?!

05.06.2012 11:56: (IMPORTANT, PLEASE READ!!!)
The ServerCreator...:
a) is NOT a virus, and this has been approved from different sides, so I will just delete all comments about that from
    now on!

b) may sometimes start and then just exit. I am currently working on a Tutorial to install it differently, but since my
    video editing tool crashed after one hour of editing, I'll have to reedit it. The tutorial will be up in less than 
    two hours.

05.06.2012 19:20:
Some Information on my future plans for this:
I am thinking of adding some standard plugins into the download function so you can choose between 3-5 plugins if you want them installed. For that, I will have to talk to the plugin creators and it'll be a lot of fuzz, so this is a plan for later on, not right now.
Also, I want to make the source code platform independent, so I'll have to work through all of it again.
Maybe I'll also add a function that sets the amount of RAM you allocate to your server and a function to rewrite the config of an already existing server...

06.06.2012 19:34:
Version 1.3 out now! It adds lots of new features to the program.

03.07.2012 16:28:
Experimental update out now! 

Alternate Installation

Since many people have problems with executing the Server Creator: This is a way that will always work!

First Step: Follow the short python installation guide

Second Step: Download the source files. For this, click the File Mirror Download Link, then open the folder "source" in the MediaFire repository. Get both files in there, then copy them into any folder.

Third Step: Start the Server Creator. Just double-click the Server Creator.py to start it!

Thank you if you actually read this without posting stupid comments and having me bang my head on my desk.


Download

Just download and unzip the latest version.
The software is as-is. I don't guarantee it always works. It should work in most cases, though xD

Additional Details

Progress:
100
Game Version:Minecraft 1.2.5
Tags:Server

Update #10 : 07/03/2012 9:27:37 am7/03/12

This is an experimental update and quite buggy. The Server Creator saves the name of the last used server and then tries to reload the config on start up. YOU WILL RUN INTO ERRORS

Update #9 : 06/22/2012 12:24:27 pm6/22/12

I simplified the UI in this update by replacing a lot of the Text Boxes by radio buttons. Hope that makes it easier to work with ;)

Update #8 : 06/17/2012 6:36:13 am6/17/12

Changelog:

  • Added Factions and mcMMO for download
  • The Server Creator automatically sets the correct IP address now
  • removed my Avatar from the UI

Update #7 : 06/15/2012 12:14:59 pm6/15/12

Changelog:

In this version, I added something that has been requested. There are now Checkboxes with WorldEdit and Essentials that the user can set to ture or false to download them when creating a new server.
IF YOU WANT MORE PLUGINS TO BE AVAILABLE IN THE DIRECT INSTALLATION, POST THEM IN THE COMMENTS!!!

@The copyright Police: I do not redistribute the plugins, I only download them automatically.

Update #6 : 06/12/2012 12:13:40 pm6/12/12

I corrected the "start server" function, it will work now. without looping into an endless download xD

Update #5: Version 1.4 : 06/08/2012 2:20:21 am6/08/12

Changelog:


* Warning if java path has not been set correctly.
* Improved the "Start Server" Function:
- Will now start a download if the craftbukkit.jar is missing.
* Changed and cleaned the UI again, moved some stuff around on it.

Update #4 Version 1.3 : 06/06/2012 12:33:45 pm6/06/12

Changelog:

You now have to set the java path before starting the server to avoid errors.
Also, there is now a function to only rewrite the server config stuff
Minor Update: standard IP set to "localhost"

Information Update : 06/05/2012 1:20:42 pm6/05/12

I can understand that people want to have their problems solved or want to know if this program is a Virus, but both things are handled in the Description, so please don't comment or spam the comments with questions if they're already answered by it. I will directly delete such comments because I'm sick of them.
Just wanted to let everyone know.

Update #2: Version 1.2 : 06/04/2012 10:54:01 am6/04/12

Changelog:

Added a Button to start the server - was a lot more complicated than it sounds :S

Update #1: Version 1.1 : 06/03/2012 9:33:33 am6/03/12

Changelog:

-Added a Progress Bar

-Improved the program itself

To protect your pc, it has something like a big wall around it, the FireWall. Imagine a Wall with lots and lots of doors in it. Your Firewall decides whether a door is open or closed and what program can use which door. Those doors are ports.
