Create Your Own 1.12 Minecraft Server

We acquainted ourselves with amazing Minecraft Survival servers until now. What about if we want to create our own Minecraft server? Let’s dive into that now.

1. The first step is to download Minecraft from the official site, then, download the Server. Jar file. 

2. Paste the file link into the personal server folder and accept the terms and conditions in the EULA agreement. 

3. Copy and paste into a folder on your PC.

4. Run the .jar file. This will create a bunch of other files in the folder, a logs folder, and many more.

5. Open the EULA document. This is an agreement to Minecraft’s End User License Agreement, which must be agreed to before starting your server.

6. Change the ‘eula=’ line from false to true and save and close the document.

7. Now users can run the Minecraft server! It will generate a world and start itself up. However, your friends can’t join yet since it’s not a public Minecraft server.

8. To make the server public you need to gather some information on your computer first. Search ‘cmd’ on your computer and press enter.

9. In the command prompt type, ‘ipconfig’ and a bunch of information will be listed out below.

10. Next, Players need to look for two numbers, the first number on the line that starts with IPv4 Address and the second number on the line that starts with Default Gateway. If there is more than one item listed after Default Gateway, make sure to use the one which is only numbers, not numbers and letters.

11. Open the server properties file and find the line that says server-ip=. This is where you need to paste your IPv4 Address number.

12. Now take the Default Gateway number and paste it into the search bar of your browser. This will take users to a screen to log in to your router. 

13. Next, find port forwarding options on your router. This is different for different routers so search where to find your router options.
