How to Create Minecraft Server on Your Computer to Play Minecraft with Your Friends
1. Go to the Minecraft official website and download the latest version of the Minecraft server – https://www.minecraft.net/en-us/download/server
2. Then go to the Oracle official website and download the Java Development Kit (JDK) installer for your operational system – https://www.oracle.com/java/technologies/downloads/#jdk17-windows
3. Now minimize your browser, find the Java development kit installer file, and double-click it to install Java on your computer.
4. Then create a new folder, preferably named ‘Minecraft Server’ to keep all your server files in. Find the Minecraft server installer file named server.jar, and move it to the folder you’ve just created. Now open the folder, double-click the installer file, and wait till all server files are generated.
5. Once all server files are generated, find the eula.txt file and double-click it to start editing. Find the eula=false line and change false to true. This means that you agree to the Minecraft End User License Agreement. Then save and close this file.
6. Now you can check whether your server is set up correctly. Go back to the folder with your server files, find the server.jar file, and double-click it to run your server. If Windows Defender asks you to allow Java access to your network, allow it.
7. Now launch your Minecraft client, select ‘Multiplayer’, and click the ‘Direct Connection’ button. In the ‘Server Address’ field, enter localhost and click ‘Join Server’. If the game launches, it means that you did everything right, and now you are playing on your own Minecraft server. Congratulations! Now it’s time to open access to your server for your friends. is working fine.
8. To open access to your server for your friends, you need to configure port forwarding on your router. Press the Win key on your keyboard to open the Run utility. In the Open field, type cmd and press Enter to launch Command Prompt. In the Command Prompt, type ipconfig and press Enter to view the information about your network configuration.
9. Go back to the folder with your Minecraft server files, find the server.properties file, and double-click it to start editing. Find the line with the server-ip option and paste your IP address there. Then save and close this file.
10. Open Command Prompt again, find the line with your Default Gateway address and copy it to your clipboard.
11. Then open your browser, paste your Default Gateway address inside the browser address field, and press Enter. This will open your router configuration interface, and you might need to log into it. In this tutorial, we will configure port forwarding on the ASUS router.
12. Find the ‘WAN’ settings and go to the ‘Port Forwarding’ section. Make sure that the ‘Port Forwarding’ feature is enabled and click ‘Add Profile’. Give this profile any name you want. ‘Minecraft server’ is a good name for this.
13. Set the ‘Protocol’ option to ‘Both’. Set 25565 as an ‘External’ and ‘Internal’ Port. Now go back to Command Prompt, copy your IPv4 address, and set it as ‘Internal IP Address’. Click ‘OK’ to save the settings.
14. Most likely, you have another router. If you don’t know how to forward a port on your router, you can find a tutorial on the Internet. Simply go to your favorite search tool, search for ‘how to forward port on’, and add your router model. In search results, look for the official website of your router manufacturer and click it to see more information. Just like that.
15. After you finish configuring your router, go to the whatismyip.com website or any similar website that will show you your public IP address. You can copy this address and give it to your friends, so they can join your server.
16. To join the Minecraft server you created on your computer, your friends have to launch their Minecraft client, go to the ‘Multiplayer’ menu, and click the ‘Direct Connection’ button. Here they need to paste your public IP address into the ‘Server Address’ field and click ‘Join Server’. Invite your friends to play on your Minecraft server and have fun!
