Minecraft has changed significantly since its inception, but one thing certainly hasn't: Crafting worlds with friends and family is just plain fun. Players can easily create their own persistent worlds, with enough space for others to join and create.



Minecraft Realms You are the host! Craftbukkit Additional paid server options Whether you're hosting a server for a few friends or launching a massive effort to recreate your favorite TV show's world, there are several different options for hosting a Minecraft server. Here are some ways to create your Minecraft multiplayer paradise. If you don't have Minecraft, here's how it can be downloaded for free.



Minecraft Realms



Mojang discontinued Minecraft Realms in December 2019. It was a single-subscription service which allowed one player to host their world on a cloud-based server. There are now two subscription models for Realms Plus for all editions (mobile, Windows 10, Xbox One and Nintendo Switch) and the remnants of the old subscription service, Realms for Minecraft Java Edition.



Here are the details of both:



For gamers on mobile, console, and Windows 10, Realms Plus is your best bet for cheap and simple hosting. It's fast and simple to create and manage a persistent Minecraft environment without any previous knowledge. Realms Plus subscribers are renting space on a Microsoft Azure cloud server. This means that you have less freedom if you choose Mojang hosting.



There is always something new and exciting to discover beyond your own Realm. Your world and addons are safe and secure in the cloud. That means your friends can hop into the world even when you're not there.



Here's how we can create a Minecraft Realms Plus realm:



Step 2 - Select Create New.



Step 3: Select Create New World.



Step 4: Configure your world.



Step 5 - Select Create on Realms.



Step 6: Choose between a 10-player and a two-player Realm.



Step 7: Sign up for Realms Plus



You can modify the Realm by doing the following:



Step 2: Next to the Realm, select the Pencil symbol.



Step 3 - Select Game to rename your world, change its difficulty, change its mode, and activate cheats.



Step 4: Select the members you wish to add friends to, send a join request and change your user status. For the latter, users can be a Visitor, Member, or Operator.



Step 5: Select Resource Packs and/or Behavior Packs to enable and disable add-ons.



Be the host



If you don't want to subscribe, the best way to share a world is to set up a computer to act as a host.



Mobile, console, Windows 10



When creating a new Minecraft world on the mobile, console, or Windows 10 version of Minecraft, multiplayer is default enabled. Here's how you can turn multiplayer back on if you have disabled multiplayer previously but want to play with your friends.



Step 1: Choose Play.



Step 2 - Select the Pencil icon to the right of your world.



Step 3: Choose Multiplayer from the left.



Step 4: Next to Multiplayer Game, select the Toggle.



Step 5: Select the Toggle next to Visible for LAN Players for local multiplayer support.



This Minecraft version uses Xbox Live. You can play with anyone logged into your Microsoft Account. You can also modify the multiplayer settings to allow only friends to connect, invite only, or allow friends of friends to connect.



Minecraft: Java Edition - LAN play



Multiplayer on this version is not as simple as it seems. You can host your world on a local server using the integrated multiplayer part. Mojang's standalone server software is required for online multiplayer.



Here's how you enable multiplayer in Minecraft: Java Edition



Step 1: Select Singleplayer.



Step 2: Create a new world or open an existing world.



Step 3 - Press the Esc button.



Step 4: Click Open to LAN in the menu.



Step 5 - Select the game mode, enable/disable cheats, then select Start LAN World.



Other players on the network can now select Multiplayer and join your world. For a multiplayer Minecraft server to work, you will need a reliable PC. The game renders the entire world on your screen. It also sends it out to all other players and syncs all player input. This can be a burden on low-end computers.



Minecraft: Java Edition - online play



Mojang offers three options for creating a dedicated server:



Minecraft: Java Edition Server Windows Server Software (alpha). Ubuntu Server Software For Ubuntu



We will use the Java Edition on Windows. Chakribakri's blog Before starting, make sure you have the latest version of Java installed on your PC.



Step 1: Download Server.jar from Mojang to an appropriate folder. You will need to extract files.



Step 2: Right click on the Server.jar and select Open.



Step 3: Open the EULA file, change the eula=false line to eula=true, and then save the file. The terms must be accepted before the server will run.



Step 4: Right-click on the Server.jar file and select Open on the pop-up menu. Additional files will extract to your folder as the Minecraft Server window appears on the screen.



Step 5: To modify world's properties, right click on server.properties and select Open With from the pop-up menu. Next, open Notepad.



With this file open, you can change the maximum number of players, the game mode, enable player-versus-player, set the maximum world size, and more. If you make any changes to the server while it is running, restart it.



After you have configured the server portion, you can create a direct route.



Minecraft: Java Edition - enable remote play



For remote gamers to connect your server, you will need two things: Your public-facing Internet address assigned to your modem as well as the IP address on the local computer that runs your server. To ensure that your PC's address doesn't change, we recommend going to the router and assigning a static address.



You will also need to use port forwarding so the Minecraft packets know exactly where to go. The ideal scenario is to assign a static address to the server computer. Minecraft requires port 25565.



The path will look like this: Incoming > Modem > Router > Static IP Address via port 25565



These guides will help you get started:



How to find your IP address. How to port forward. How to change your IP adress



How to launch the Java Edition server



Instead of right-clicking on sever.jar to launch the server's file, we can create BAT files and insert modified commands to make it run more smoothly.



Step 1: Right-click within the folder and select New followed by Text Document on the pop-up menus.



Step 2: Rename the file so you can recognize it later.



Step 3: Open your file and enter the following command java -Xmx1024M. -Xms1024M. -jarserver.jar pause



The server will allocate memory using the first two numbers, while "pause", keeps the server window open.



Step 4 - Save the file and rename it to ".bat". (shorthand for batch file).



Step 5: Double-click on the BAT file to launch your server.



Connect to the server and build a world



It is not a good idea for Minecraft to be run on the same server as your server. It will result in a slower experience for everyone. We recommend that Minecraft be run on another computer if you can.



Step 1 - Select Multiplayer.



Step 2: Click the box next to Don't Show This Screen Again and then click Proceed if you are being nag about multiplayer.



Step 3 - Select Add Server.



Step 4: Enter the server name.



Step 5: To allow remote users, enter the public-facing adress assigned to your modem along with the port. For example, the IP address would be something like 177.98.119.228:25565.



Enter the network address of the server PC to enable local network play. Most likely, you won't need to add this port.



Step 6: Select Done to complete.



Craftbukkit



Craftbukkit uses Mojang's vanilla Minecraft server software. The Java Edition can run Bukkit plugins. It sets up just like Mojang's version: Extract the files, agree to the EULA, modify the server.properties file, create the world, and so on. Follow the directions listed above or consult the Bukkit wiki. Be aware that the BAT file command must be formatted as follows: java --Xms1024M --Xmx1024M



Bukkit hosts a forum for user-created plugins that are specifically tailored for Craftbukkit. This allows you to manage the effects of multiple plugins in-game without causing conflicts or reducing performance. There are 17 categories to choose from, including admin tools as well as chat-related tools.



The JAR file(s), which are required to be used with a plugin, must be placed in a specified directory. Mojang does not provide a server software. Instead, you can extract the craftbukkit.jar and create a folder for plugins. This is where all plugins should be placed. The server must be restarted every time a plugin is added.



Connecting to a Bukkit Server is the same as connecting to a regular server. Clients don't need to install any mods running on the server. Ideally, you would run Bukkit or the regular Minecraft server software on a second PC to cut down on latency.



Additional paid server options



You can also choose from other third-party subscription-based options, or free options, if you don't wish to follow the Realms route.



There are many benefits to using a third-party server, including easy setup, consistent access, and technical support. There are more paid services available than the free offerings, however, and a lot of them can be found on the Minecraft forums starting at under $5 a month, with rates increasing for use of extra server software and for more allowed connections.



While setting up your own server can be complicated and require some networking knowledge, most of the paid services designed specifically for Minecraft automate the process. It is as easy as choosing the number of players and the type of world to set up. Web interfaces make it easy to configure and restart the server. They deal with parameters and configuration files in a more robust way than users would if they were simply editing the files.



Hosting companies may implement systems such as Multicraft (pictured below). This allows users to access their servers in limited ways, but leaves some configuration decisions to the host.



The port and IP addresses will be listed on the administration page for the server, allowing players to easily join the game. A server like this gives players a lot more freedom, as they can ban others and reboot the server whenever necessary.



Any service with enough RAM can be used in Minecraft or Craftbukkit. This is possible when an FTP client uploads. These servers are ideal for DIY projects. Amazon or other online retailers sell acceptable servers at affordable prices. If you want smoother gameplay, you can spend a little more and increase the memory.



This type of setup is best for those who want full control over settings and files, and are comfortable using no web-based control software. You will have more control over the settings of the games by using your server. Chakribakri's blog
