How to create a Minecraft server on Windows 10
Firstly, ensure you have updated to the latest Java version on your device. Then, follow the instructions below to create a Minecraft server.
Step 1: Open the folder containing the Minecraft Server creation tool you just downloaded to your computer. Right-click on the installation file, select Open, or double-click on the server.jar file, and the system will automatically start the decompression process. Wait for a moment.
Once the decompression process is complete, you will see additional files added, as illustrated below.
Step 2: Now, double-click on the eula.txt file to open it with the text editor.
In the editing window, alter the line eula=false to eula=true.
Press the shortcut Ctrl+S to remember the settings. Alternatively, if you close the editing screen, a prompt will appear as shown below; choose Save.
Step 3: Return to the initial folder containing the server.jar file and restart it. Now the system will display a workspace as follows. Wait a moment for the Minecraft server initialization tool.
In the standard process of creating a Minecraft server, if you're making it for a few players on a local network, there's no need for port forwarding. However, if you want players worldwide to access your server, you'll need to activate port forwarding on your router.
After the server starts and runs, you can add other users to your server.
- For a home network: connect to the server through the local IP address.
- Decent network: Connect to the server using the public IP address.
There are several methods to find the public IP address; the quickest is to search on Google by entering the keyword 'my IP address'. To ensure other users can also access your server, enter the public IP address into the Minecraft Server Status Checker box.
