We will show you how Xgamingserver makes it easier for you to set up an Spigot server without the many configurations and technical knowhow
Hosting your own Spigot server on a Virtual Private Server (VPS) offers unparalleled control over your gaming environment, allowing you to customize game modes, control player access, and much more. This guide walks you through the process of setting up your own Spigot server, ensuring you have everything you need for an optimized and enjoyable multiplayer experience.
Before you begin, ensure you have access to a VPS with Ubuntu or a similar Linux distribution installed. You will also need root access or privileges to execute commands via sudo. Familiarity with the command line interface (CLI) is beneficial but not necessary, as this guide provides step-by-step instructions.
ssh your_username@your_vps_ip
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y
sudo apt install lib32gcc-s1 lib32stdc++6 curl wget net-tools screen ufw -y
mkdir ~/steamcmd && cd ~/steamcmd
wget https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/client/installer/steamcmd_linux.tar.gz
tar -xvzf steamcmd_linux.tar.gz
./steamcmd.sh
login anonymous
force_install_dir ~/spigot-server
app_update 1874900 validate
quit
sudo ufw allow ssh
sudo ufw allow 2001/udp
sudo ufw allow 17777/udp
sudo ufw allow 27015/udp
sudo ufw enable
Create a directory for your configuration:
mkdir -p ~/spigot-server/config
Create a config.json file with the following content:
{
"dedicatedServerId": "YourServerID",
"region": "EU",
"gameHostBindAddress": "0.0.0.0",
"gameHostBindPort": 2001,
"gameHostRegisterBindAddress": "0.0.0.0",
"gameHostRegisterPort": 17777,
"game": {
"name": "Your Server Name",
"password": "YourServerPassword",
"scenarioId": "{329112915AD1A295}Missions/23_Campaign.conf",
"playerCountLimit": 64,
"visible": true,
"gameProperties": {
"serverMaxViewDistance": 2500,
"serverMinGrassDistance": 50,
"networkViewDistance": 1000,
"disableThirdPerson": false,
"fastValidation": true,
"battlEye": true
},
"mods": []
}
}
Create a startup script for better server management:
nano ~/start-server.sh
Add the following content:
#!/bin/bash
cd ~/spigot-server
screen -dmS spigot java -Xms2G -Xmx4G -jar server.jar nogui
echo "Spigot server started in screen session. To view, use: screen -r spigot"
Make the script executable:
chmod +x ~/start-server.sh
~/start-server.sh
To join your server, launch the Minecraft Java Edition launcher, navigate to the Multiplayer menu, and find your server under the Community tab. You can join directly using the server's IP address and port 25565.
Consider registering a .gg domain for your server to make it easily identifiable and memorable to players. A custom domain can significantly enhance your server's visibility and accessibility within the gaming community.
Remember to regularly update your server with:
cd ~/steamcmd
./steamcmd.sh +login anonymous +force_install_dir ~/spigot-server +app_update 1874900 validate +quit
Setting up an Spigot server on a VPS might seem daunting at first, but by following these detailed steps, you can create a robust, customizable gaming environment that meets your specific needs. Whether you're running large-scale battles or intimate co-op sessions, a well-configured server provides the foundation for an excellent gaming experience.

Spigot is the original high-performance fork of Bukkit/CraftBukkit and the foundation of the entire Minecraft plugin server ecosystem. Maintained by md_5 and the SpigotMC team, Spigot has been the default plugin server for over a decade and pioneered most of the conventions modern Minecraft plugin development still uses. Even today, the SpigotMC plugin repository hosts over 20,000 free and premium plugins — the largest Minecraft plugin library anywhere.
Spigot is the right choice if you have a legacy plugin pack that depends on traditional Bukkit/Spigot APIs, if you specifically need Spigot-only behavior, or if you're running tutorials and guides written before Paper became dominant. It's also a good fit for small SMPs (5–30 players) with light plugin loads where Paper's extra optimizations aren't necessary.
The honest tradeoff: Spigot is significantly slower than Paper under heavy load. It lacks async chunk loading, has fewer perf knobs, and security patches lag behind Paper. For modern servers running 50+ players or 30+ plugins, Paper is almost always the better choice — and you can switch any time with one click on XGamingServer.
Why pre-built? Spigot's license requires end users to compile it themselves via BuildTools — a process that takes 10–20 minutes and usually involves downloading and unpacking dozens of dependencies. We do this work for you on our build infrastructure and ship a ready-to-launch JAR, so your server starts instantly instead of after a long compile cycle.
Pre-Built Spigot JARs: We compile Spigot via BuildTools on our infrastructure so your server launches instantly — no waiting for BuildTools to chug through dependencies.
Full Bukkit/Spigot Plugin Support: Run any plugin from SpigotMC, Bukkit Dev, or Hangar. EssentialsX, WorldGuard, Vault, Multiverse, PermissionsEx — all supported.
Free Upgrade Path to Paper: Decided you want better TPS? Switch from Spigot to Paper with one click in the control panel. Your plugins and worlds carry over with zero changes.
Multiple Minecraft Versions: Switch between supported Minecraft versions through the panel. We maintain pre-built Spigot JARs for all current MC releases.
