Minecraft Server 1.8 Exe How To Run A

Today were looking at how to run a simple local Minecraft server both with and without mods.

If there are two parents and two kids playing Minecraft in a household for example, and they spend a few hours one weekend working on a big structure hosted by Kid 2, then anytime anyone wants to work on that worldstructure again they need Kid 2 to fire up their game and share it with everyone else by opening it to the LAN.

Factor in that each world resides on each separate computer and suddenly it becomes a real hassle for more than one person to work on a given map.

This way players can come and go as they please without any one person needing to log in and share their world.

Even better, you can host a Minecraft server on a machine that isnt well suited for actually playing Minecraft (weve run modest Minecraft servers off little Raspberry Pi boxes without a problem).

One method is very Windows-centric as you simply download an.EXE file and run it, with a convenient little graphical user window.

That method doesnt necessarily help OS X and Linux users however, so were going to use the.JAR based method which will help expand the process across all the platforms with only very minor tweaks necessary to shift between operating systems.

As of this tutorial the version is 1.7.10.

You can find it at the bottom of the official Minecraft.net download page.

Regardless of your operating system, you want the.JAR file.

You can place it anywhere you want but label it clearly, place it somewhere safe, and be aware that once you run the.JAR file all the server-related stuff will be downloadedunpacked in folder the.JAR is located in, so dont place it somewhere like a drive root or a home folder.

The command runs Java, assigns 1GB of memory1GB max, indicates the file is a JAR, names the JAR, and indicates no GUI is needed.

You can adjust the assignedmax memory values upwards if you find you need to do so for particularly large worlds or servers with many players (say, during a LAN party), but we dont recommend lowering the memory values.

Look in the server directory for the EULA.txt file, open it, and edit the entry eulafalse to eulatrue to indicate your agreement with the Mojang server user agreement.

If you run it with the nogui tag, the server output and command interface will remain in the terminal window you launched the command in.

Unless youre running the server on a resource strapped machine (or a headless device like a media server or Raspberry Pi) we recommend using the GUI.

The default world is located in world and looks a whole lot like a regular old.minecraftsavessomeworldname folder from regular Minecraft (in fact, it is).

You can play on the randomly generated world or you can delete the contents of world and replace it with the contents of a saved game from a standalone copy of Minecraft or a world save youve downloaded from the Internet.

In order to join your game you need to be on the same LAN as the host computer and you need to know the IP address of the host computer.

If you need help with either of these options, see Connecting to Remote Servers section of the Exploring Minecraft Multiplayer Servers lesson from our previous guide.

One thing youll note immediately is that the game is in survival mode.

This is the server default, but well show you how to change it in just a moment.

In addition you can use server commands both in the console window and if you are an OP or operator on the server.

There are dozens of commands, many of them rather obscure and infrequently used.

You can read the entire command list on the Minecraft wiki, but well highlight the ones most relevant to getting your server up and running in the table below.
