This guide covers both.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Running your own Minecraft server means you and your friends get a persistent world that&#8217;s always online, with full control over settings, plugins, and mods. Here&#8217;s how to set one up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Option 1: Rent a Hosted Server (Easiest)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Hosting a server on your own PC means it&#8217;s only online when your computer is, it eats your bandwidth, and it exposes your home IP. A hosting provider solves all of that. With <a href=\"https:\/\/xgamingserver.com\/minecraft-server-hosting\">Minecraft server hosting<\/a> you get:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>24\/7 uptime<\/strong> \u2014 the world stays online even when your PC is off.<\/li>\n<li><strong>No port forwarding<\/strong> \u2014 you get a ready-to-share IP instantly.<\/li>\n<li><strong>One-click server types<\/strong> \u2014 swap between <a href=\"https:\/\/xgamingserver.com\/blog\/paper-vs-spigot-vs-bukkit\/\">Vanilla, Paper, Forge, Fabric<\/a> and more from a control panel.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Easy RAM\/plugin management<\/strong> \u2014 no command line required.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is the route most communities take. Pick a plan with enough <a href=\"https:\/\/xgamingserver.com\/blog\/how-to-allocate-more-ram-to-minecraft\/\">RAM for your player count<\/a>, choose your server type, and share the IP.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Option 2: Self-Host on Your Own PC<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Install Java.<\/strong> Modern Minecraft needs a current version of Java (Java 21 for the latest releases). Download it and confirm with <code>java -version<\/code>.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Download the server.<\/strong> Get the official <code>server.jar<\/code> from minecraft.net (or a <a href=\"https:\/\/xgamingserver.com\/blog\/paper-vs-purpur\/\">Paper<\/a> jar for better performance), and put it in its own folder.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Run it once.<\/strong> Launch it with a command like <code>java -Xmx4G -Xms4G -jar server.jar nogui<\/code>. It&#8217;ll stop and create files.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Accept the EULA.<\/strong> Open <code>eula.txt<\/code> and change <code>eula=false<\/code> to <code>eula=true<\/code>, then save.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Start it again.<\/strong> Run the same command; the world generates and the server comes online locally.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Forward port 25565.<\/strong> To let friends outside your network join, forward TCP port <strong>25565<\/strong> to your PC&#8217;s local IP in your router settings, and share your public IP.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If it won&#8217;t start, check our <a href=\"https:\/\/xgamingserver.com\/blog\/why-is-my-minecraft-server-not-starting\/\">server won&#8217;t start<\/a> guide; if friends can&#8217;t join, see <a href=\"https:\/\/xgamingserver.com\/blog\/how-to-fix-cant-connect-to-a-minecraft-server\/\">can&#8217;t connect to server<\/a>. Once it&#8217;s online, <a href=\"https:\/\/xgamingserver.com\/blog\/adding-an-op-admin-to-minecraft-server-using-ops-json-and-op-username\/\">make yourself an admin (op)<\/a> so you can run commands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Which Should You Choose?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Self-hosting is free but fragile \u2014 your PC has to stay on, you deal with port forwarding and firewalls, and performance competes with whatever else you&#8217;re running. For anything beyond a quick test with one or two friends, a <a href=\"https:\/\/xgamingserver.com\/minecraft-server-hosting\">hosted Minecraft server<\/a> is far less hassle and keeps your world online around the clock.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">FAQ<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How much RAM does a Minecraft server need?<\/h3>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A small vanilla server for a few friends runs on 2\u20134 GB. Add more for bigger player counts, plugins, or modpacks \u2014 see <a href=\"https:\/\/xgamingserver.com\/blog\/how-to-allocate-more-ram-to-minecraft\/\">how much RAM you need<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Do I need to port forward for a Minecraft server?<\/h3>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Only if you self-host and want people outside your home network to join \u2014 you&#8217;d forward TCP port 25565. Rented hosting gives you a public IP with no port forwarding needed.<\/p>\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Quick answer: There are two ways to make a Minecraft server.
