Whether or not you’ve ever played Minecraft yourself, you’ll be familiar with the ever-popular game. Minecraft is an infinite type of game, with endless opportunities for things you can do, places you can explore, and worlds you can create.
One of the currently popular Minecraft trends is creating your own server, which allows you to alter the game in ways you never before. Keep reading if you want to learn more about Minecraft servers and how you can create and improve yours.
What Are Minecraft Servers?
So, now that you’ve heard about Minecraft servers, you might be interested in discovering more about them.
To start off with, a Minecraft server is essentially a user-created Minecraft world where other players can join in, play, and build a community. Even businesses can create Minecraft servers for their companies. You can customize every detail about your own world when you create a server to make it more appealing for other players to join.
How to Attract Other Players?
You’ll want as many people as possible to join your server. You’ll need to make it attractive and promote it online too.
Bring people to your server by creating a website for it and coming up with a specific style, name, and slogan that makes it recognizable and appealing to a specific type of person. You can even make your server look more attractive by using fun and interesting Minecraft banner designs, which you can create online for free.
Technical Setup
You might need some help to make your Minecraft server if you’re not familiar with programming and code. However, plenty of blogs and YouTube videos explain the process step-by-step, so just about anybody can learn how to create their server.
For a start, you’ll need a good PC running Windows 10 or 11, at least 2GBs of RAM, a stable Internet connection, and a reliable power supply to keep your server online. Finally, to host a Java server (which is the simplest), you’ll need to be able to run the latest version of Java – easy peasy.
Customize Your Server
Like playing in creative mode, you need to customize your world. You can change just about any detail of your world, from the mode of gameplay (survival, creative, adventure, or spectator) to whether or not saplings can grow into trees.
The options are endless, and you’ll start off with a load of default settings you can toggle and customize as you see fit. You’ll find countless Minecraft mods you can add to your server online, so start searching and go wild.
Enjoy and Earn
Finally, when all the work is done, you can enjoy the fruits of your labor and play in your own world with the players you’ve recruited.
Some businesses and individuals can earn money through memberships to their servers, so if you create something popular, you might even reap financial rewards. Worth a shot, right?
