Without SurvivalServers

Running a Minecraft server on your own is a bit more complicated.

System Requirements

• Access to a MySQL Database (optional for some plugins)
• ~2GB of Diskspace (more may be required for mods or large worlds)
• Sufficient RAM (at least 2GB recommended for small servers)

Installation

• You will need to obtain the latest server files from here.
• Extract these files to the directory you have chosen on your computer. For example: C:\User\Admin\MinecraftServer\
• Next make a sub-directory inside of your main server directory called Server. C:\User\Admin\MinecraftServer\Server\
• You will next need to create a server.properties file inside of this directory. You can view a default config here.
• Next you will need to download the minecraft_server.jar file and place it in C:\User\Admin\MinecraftServer\Server\
• If you plan to use plugins, consider setting up a Spigot or Paper server.
• If you're hosting mods, install a modded server like Forge or Fabric.
• If using a MySQL database, configure it now to store player or plugin information.

Starting the Server

• Create a start.bat file inside the root directory of your server and add the following:
• java -Xmx2G -Xms1G -jar minecraft_server.jar nogui
  pause
• Adjust the -Xmx and -Xms values based on how much RAM you want to allocate.
• You will also need to forward port 25565 (or the port you've chosen) on your router to enable users to connect!
• Run the start.bat and your server should start booting!
