Classic server:

1. Download the Minecraft Classic server software.
2. Follow the instructions in the readme.

Done!

meew0 · 2011-08-23 10:22:32

Beta server (Hamachi):

1. Get Hamachi if you don't have it already.
2. Create a new network.
3. Download CraftBukkit.
4. Create a file "RUN.bat". Write the following into it:

Code:

@ECHO OFF
SET BINDIR=%~dp0
CD /D "%BINDIR%"
"%ProgramFiles%\Java\jre6\bin\java.exe" -Xincgc -Xmx1G -jar craftbukkit-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar
PAUSE

If you're on a 64-bit system, write the following instead:

Code:

@ECHO OFF
SET BINDIR=%~dp0
CD /D "%BINDIR%"
"%ProgramFiles(x86)%\Java\jre6\bin\java.exe" -Xincgc -Xmx1G -jar craftbukkit-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar
PAUSE

5. Change the line "server-ip=" in the server.properties file to "server-ip=<Hamachi IP>". Replace the "<Hamachi IP>" with your Hamachi IP.
6. Double-click the RUN.bat file.

Done!

meew0 · 2011-08-23 10:27:21

Beta server:

1. Download CraftBukkit and extract it into a new folder on your system.
2. Create a file "RUN.bat" in that folder. Write the following into it:

Code:

@ECHO OFF
SET BINDIR=%~dp0
CD /D "%BINDIR%"
"%ProgramFiles%\Java\jre6\bin\java.exe" -Xincgc -Xmx1G -jar craftbukkit-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar
PAUSE

If you're on a 64-bit system, write the following instead:

Code:

@ECHO OFF
SET BINDIR=%~dp0
CD /D "%BINDIR%"
"%ProgramFiles(x86)%\Java\jre6\bin\java.exe" -Xincgc -Xmx1G -jar craftbukkit-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar
PAUSE

3. Set up port forwarding for the port 25565. (Click here for tutorials on this)
4. Double-click the RUN.bat file.
5. Go to whatismyip.org. That is your server IP. (If you want to connect to the server yourself, enter "127.0.0.1" instead of that IP.)

Done!

Nice tutorial! Me and my friend were going to do survival multiplayer, but we didn't know how to set up a server. Thanks!

peterkap · 2011-08-23 11:50:36

Plugins:
Download from bukkit.org.
Go to Get Plugins.
Select one. Read about it first, then download the .jar. Put it into the plugins folder where your server is at, then your done.(Restart your server, by the way.)

Note: Remember, always read about it first. Sometimes a plugin requires another plugin.

How to make a beta server (Unix)(Vanilla):
1. Download this.
2. Type the following line in terminal:

Code:

java -Xmx1024M -Xms1024M -jar minecraft_server.jar nogui

3. Configure and do other stuff by following guides here, here, and here. (or for the last one, read onto the next guide below)
Port forward if you want to, set up the settings, etc.
4. Tell your friends the IP (unless you want to play on a multiplayer server by yourself tongue )

How to port forward (another way for mac):
1. Download Port Map here.
2. Open the app. Turn it on if it's off.
3. Push the "+" button at the bottom.
4. Name the port whatever you want, choose a port (25565 is recommended, but if you tried making another server you might have to try 25566, 25567, etc.)
5. Add the port to the end of your IP (unless it's 25565) (eg, 74.211.106.91:25567. btw, don't try the server. it was a bad attempt to remember a server that I took down long ago)
6. Tell your friends.
