How To Setup A Free Minecraft Server 1.19 Update Setting up a Java-based Minecraft server can be tricky for those who aren't savvy with file movement and editing. However, the task is simpler than it may appear at first glance. Mojang also offers a guide on its official website that will help players navigate the process. With one folder and a few files, players will have a base server that they can tweak to their liking or play right away in version 1.19. This method is also applicable to older versions of Mojang's game. Mojang provides many versions for the game's server file. Minecraft players can follow the below steps to set up a free server. 1. The official site hosts the Java server file. 1.19 players want to make sure they download the server.1.19.0.jar. This is the current server build. 2. Players can create a folder to store the downloaded.jar file for easy access. It can be named anything a player likes, but something along the lines of "Minecraft Server" will do just fine. Once players have their folder setup, they will need to place their downloaded.jar file inside. 3. Next, players will need to open the command line and enter cd followed closely by the directory in which the.jar file is stored. For example, C:\Users\Admin\Desktop\Minecraft Server or whatever directory the folder resides in. Players can check this directory by opening the server folder and checking the top of the window. 4. Next, players will want to type Java -jar server.1.19.0.jar and press enter. Players will get an error but it is normal as it will generate the necessary EULA file. 5. Players should return to their server folder and open the EULA.txt document with their preferred text editors such as Notepad. 6. Look for the line that reads "eula=false" and change this line to read "eula=true" before saving changes and closing the text editor. 7. You will also need to have a server.properties.file. This file must be opened with a text-editor. Some players may need to select "Open With" and choose their text editor manually to open this file correctly. 8. Players should pay attention the line reading "query.port", which will list the ports that players must forward on their routers where applicable. This line may not be necessary depending on the hardware setup of a player. Traditionally, players must forward the default port 25565 to their router's settings. However, the port may change in certain circumstances. 9. The server's operation will be determined by the rest of the file's properties. For example, "gamemode" can be set to Survival, Creative or Adventure to set the server's default game mode. Players can also adjust things such as difficulty, PvP access and maximum players, as well as whether or not the Nether is available. 10. Once all the necessary changes have been made to server.properties, players can save the changes. Players can then save the changes and go back to Step 3. If everything was done correctly, the.jar should begin to run the server. Players should be able connect to it. 11. Players who did not specify an IP address in the server properties file will have their server IP tied to their machine's address. If a player's computer address is 192.168.0.5 then the server IP will be the same. The Minecraft multiplayer menu allows players to connect to the server by entering the IP followed with the forward port. For example, 192.168.0.5.25565 could be the address that players would like to connect to. The player hosting the server can also enter localhost to connect directly to their server from the multiplayer menu. After these steps are completed, Minecraft players and the administrator should be able connect to the server to play. If future changes need to be made, the admin can reopen the server.properties file in their text editor and tweak any of the listed settings as needed. MINECRAFT
