    Make a private Minecraft server

    • Create a folder where you will store your Minecraft Server downloads. (Preferably on your desktop)
    • Download minecraft_server.jar (e.g. from the Minecraft)
    • All platform users (including linux and and OSX) users are highly advised to download the jar version and not the exe version.


    Verifying and installing Java
    1. Make sure you have the latest Java, to check go to the Java Verify website
    2. Press verify Java version, If it says, 'Congratulations! You have the latest Java installed' move onto the next step. If not, download Java here
    3. Find where the path to your Java lies.
      • Open My Computer
      • Open your main hard drive (by default this is C
      • For 64 bit owners go to; Program Files (x86).
      • For 32 bit owners go to; Program Files
      • Go to your 'Java' folder and then into your 'jre6' folder.
      • Finally go into your 'bin' folder where you should see your 'java.exe' and 'javaw.exe' files.
    4. Take note of the path to your 'java.exe' file which should be; %ProgramFiles(x86)%\Java\jre6\bin\java.exe for 64 bit or %ProgramFiles%\Java\jre6\bin\java.exe for 32 bit



    Making the server starter; allows more ram and less errors
    1. In the same place where you made the 'Minecraft Server' folder at the start, Right Click > New > Text document> which will create a new text document in notepad
    2. Copy the code below and paste it in your notepad screen.


    For 64 bit Users;
    Code:
    @echo off 
    "%ProgramFiles(x86)%\Java\jre6\bin\java.exe" -Xms1024M -Xmx1024M -jar minecraft_Server.jar nogui 
    pause
    For 32 bit Users;
    Code:
    @echo off 
    "%ProgramFiles%\Java\jre6\bin\java.exe" -Xms1024M -Xmx1024M -jar minecraft_Server.jar nogui 
    pause
    • If needed change the path in the brackets, to the path your java was located (Found in Step 4. Verifying and installing Java)
    • After that, Click File > Save as
    • Change the file name to Serverstarter.bat and the file type to All files


    Start the Minecraft server


    Open Serverstarter.bat which should be in your Minecraft Server Folder.
    • A CMD Should pop up like above, Wait for it to prepare the spawn area and files until it says Done!
    • If the CMD says;
    • The system cannot find the path specified.
    • Press any key to continue . . .
    • After it says done, close the CMD window (by pressing the red X in the top right corner)
    • Now you should see that by opening the server, it has made a bunch of files!


    Configuring the Minecraft server
    • Configure the server by opening the Server.properties file with your notepad [Right click > Open with]


    Server.properties



    • Add your username to the [OP.txt] file, this allows you to execute Server Commands and have Operator Privledges. From the CMD Window you can also type op <name>


    Hamachi
    An easy way to set up a server between you and your friend is to set up a VPN (virtual private network). A free software utility that can be used to set this up is Hamachi
    How to connect :
    • First you will need to record down your Network ID, Password and Hamachi IP address.
    • Other members who wish to play on your server are required to connect to your Hamachi Network, Network > Join existing network using your Network ID and Password. There Hamachi names should feature under your Server name to show that they are in your network.
    • Open Minecraft and go to Multiplayer. You then enter the Hamachi network IP, not your own, but the server's IP.


    Lan
    This would be the option i would choose if you are hosting the server for you and a couple of friends. Lan IP's are prone to getting your computer hacked as you are giving away your IP address to others.
    How to connect :
    1. If you are hosting the server on your network, enter 'localhost' as the IP Address
    2. For everyone else, you need to give them the IP
