How to Launch a Minecraft Server on a VPS?
We all love Minecraft, but what if you want to create your own server and play with friends? In this article, I’ll show you how to launch a Minecraft server on a VPS.
First, you need to choose a hosting provider that offers VPS services. Many companies offer these services, so choose a provider that suits your needs.
Once you’ve chosen a provider, you need to purchase a VPS server. This is usually done through the provider’s personal account. You will then be granted access to the server via SSH.
Now you need to install Java on your VPS. To do this, run the following commands:
sudo apt update
sudo apt install default-jre
After installing Java, you need to download the Minecraft Server JAR file. To do this, run the following command:
wget https://launcher.mojang.com/v1/objects/3dc3d84a581f14691199cf6831b71ed1296a9fdf/server.jar
Now you need to create a server startup script. Create a new file named start.sh and add the following code to it:
#!/bin/bash
java -Xmx1024M -Xms1024M -jar server.jar nogui
Save the start.sh file and give it execute permissions using the command chmod +x start.sh. Now you can start the server with the command ./start.sh.
Congratulations, you now have your own Minecraft server on a VPS! Enjoy the game!
