So basiclly, Ive wanted to make my own public multiplayer server for a while now. And Ive seen tutorials, but theres just one thing that i cant do. When I download the server.jar file from the official minecraft site, I cant open the file. Ive installed java, tried jarfix, watched multiple tutorials and disabled my firewall and that stuff. But it doesnt work. When I try opening the file it says: "Java Virtual Machine Launcher: A Java Exception Has Occured". And I dont know what to do. Please help!

If you're trying to make a public server, just rent a host.



Unless you have a ton of ram installed into your machine, it won't be able to handle a server larger than 20 - 30 players without major performance issues.

In the folder you placed the jar file try making a file called "run.bat" and inserting these lines:

@echo off
java -Xms1024M -Xmx1024M -jar server.jar nogui
pause


If this doesn't work you can try some of these fixes (from chatgpt dont know if they work)


1. Make sure you have the latest version of Java installed on your computer. You can download the latest version from the official Java website: https://www.java.com/en/download/


2. Make sure that your system meets the minimum requirements for running the Minecraft server. You can find the system requirements on the official Minecraft website: https://www.minecraft.net/en-us/download/server


3. Try downloading the server.jar file again from the official Minecraft website. Sometimes files can become corrupted during download, and downloading the file again may fix the issue.

If these doesn't work you can just try using a website that hosts the minecrafts servers for you
Some of these websites is: Minehut, Aternos, Server.pro, Freemcserver, etc.
