Creating a minecraft server

Minecraft (opens in a new tab) is a game made up of blocks, creatures, and community. You can survive the night or build a work of art – the choice is all yours.

Requirements

2-4GB VPS Minimum
Root and SSH Access
Basic linux understanding

Getting started

Installing required packages

sudo apt -y install sudo screen wget openjdk-18-jdk

Making the folder and going in

ℹ️

We are going to name the folder my-server, you can name whatever you want to.

sudo mkdir my-server && my-server

Agreeing to Minecraft EULA

sudo echo "eula=true" > eula.txt

Getting the jar file

⚠️

Please make sure to replace <link> with the correct URL.

sudo wget <link>

In this case we're going to use the vanilla jar

sudo wget https://piston-data.mojang.com/v1/objects/8dd1a28015f51b1803213892b50b7b4fc76e594d/server.jar

Enter on a screen shell

screen -S minecraft

Starting up the minecraft server

java -jar server.jar

Now press Ctrl, a, n on your keyboard. To get out of the screen shell & run the minecraft server on the background.

Connect and enjoy!
