Creating a minecraft server - JustKato/BukkitWiki GitHub Wiki

Location

Choose a location on your computer to keep the server at, it is recommended to keep it there as sometimes plugins use absolute paths ( for whatever reason )

Contents

( use Spigot, or PaperMC) The contents of your server's folder should be: [ ServerJar.jar, run.bat, eula.txt ]

Server.jar

The server.jar can be either spigot, craftbukkit, bungee or papermc. To use build-tools ( recommended ), go read the setup guide.

run.bat

If you do not know how to create this file and manage it please reference the setup guide

eula.txt

The eula.txt should have 1 line in it eula=true, and then you can run the server. If you already ran the server you should edit it and change eula=false to eula=true

Starting/Connecting

Double-click run.bat, it should start loading.
To connect to your server, either use localhost as the ip, or you can use your network's local ip, if you want your friends to join you will have to Port Forward
