Thank you for this, it worked really well! I had to download the updated server jar file for 1.19.2 directly from the website, but once I moved it to the /opt/minecraft folder, everything else went smoothly. I learned a bit of linux along the way too
why does the server works only from local ip? i configured the router but i can't connect to it from the public ip. i tried everything (also after i configured the router the internet speed became slower for like x15 times, but after i deleted all the settings i added it went back to normal speed)
Hello, I was following this and when I got to the screen /opt/scripts/minecraft.sh command all it does is say "[Screen is terminating]" do you have any idea how I can fix this?
Probably late, but ive found out that for me it was because i messed up the eula.txt agreenment and didnt save it. I did it again, saved it properly and screen worked after that.👍
thank u so much for this tutorial. i have one issue tho. i can play with the local ip but not with the public one so my friends can't join (yes i did port forward) please help me
Hi James, question about the ram. Is there a way for me to change the maximum number of Gigs used to run the server after I've successfully finished? Or will I need to start the process over from scratch? Thanks!
Sorry for the late reply, however to change the ram you can simply edit the minecraft.sh file in the scripts folder. You can change it to what you want then save and exit. Reload the world and it will change the ram used.
Hey bro, do you have a link to the page you pulled up at 1:20? Trying to do the research for the server I'm setting up and need the page so I can setup the script with the right link
can you show us db connection on sql? i already have my server but all configured on windows now im moving to a ubuntu vps need to figure out how to do it on it
What does screen do? Can I use it without screen? I think I perfectly followed the instruction, but it says [screen is terminating], so something is going wrong.
You can run the server without screen, However when you close the terminal anything running in that terminal will be closed. Screen let's the terminal instance be run in the background and the terminal to be closed.

I am able to run the server and connect while on the same wifi, but when I try to connect from a different wifi server is not found. I have port forwarding opened for 25565. and firewall allows that port through.
Nevermind. For anyone facing this problem just enter into the console without a / for example type op playername instead of /op playername. It is a bit confusing as the console tells you to type /help when you need to type help instead
I'm struggling a while to instal it on proxmox and thanks to you i have install it and running ,but i cant connect to the server from minecraft on android tablet. The IP and port correct. Do you have a idea what would be the problem?
scrolled through all the comments and couldn't find a solution i havent already tried, but people from outside networks cannot connect to the server. I've tried port forwarding and all of that, but nothing seems to work for me. Has anybody else had this problem and if so, how did you deal with it?
In the server command prompt type /stop You can also change the properties of the server save it then go into the command prompt and type /restart If can also be in the command prompt and push ctrl + c , however I dont recommend this. The 2 above options are the best to do.

You can, there are multiple ways to do it though. The simplest way is whitelisting, you just enable whitelisting and then you add their usernames to the whitelist and the server will only allow those people to get on. If you want to truely let anyone in you should read up on vlans and reverse proxies. You can use services like cloudflare and there are guides out there for that. However, it will not be cheap and even if you followed those guides I wouldnt recommend unless you know what you are doing network security wise. Even if you do though if someone wants to hack something enough, with enough dedication they will get in.
when I type "ip a" in my vps im trying to host it in, it is just bringing up different ipv6 what do I do? When i tyr to join via the ipv4 of the vps it just doesnt connect.

@@JamesCatena Yes I just never got the mc server working. Sorry for the super late response I dont remember getting a notification but I saw it when I was looking through my email to delete.
@@antinul907 You being able to see the server but not being able to connect sounds like some sort of port forwarding issue or you have enabled whitelisting.
You can, if you go to the folder that you installed minecraft to. Open up your "server.properties" file. Inside that you will see a "server-port" line that says 25565... Change that to whatever you want, When you save and close then reload the server it will be on that port!
Hi! I was able to get this running, but was having trouble on my end with connecting to the server with the local IP address, which I think was due to not being connected to the same wifi as what the router is on. But before I could test that out, suddenly the screen stopped running it in the background, and I can't get it to run at all with the 'screen /opt/scripts/minecraft.sh' command. It keeps terminating screen. I did everything else right but can't seem to figure out why this is happening. Especially since I got it running in the background before. I will note that 2 different screen instances, from a different server being run on the linux (servers of my brother's with media on them). They weren't on when I got the minecraft screen to run. Do I need to only have one screen running potentially? Any help would be appreciated! That aside, thanks for making such a thorough tutorial! It's been extremely helpful up to the problem I'm having rn lol
You are trying to run 2 different servers on the same PC? If you, this is probably because you havent changed the connection ports. The default port used is 25565. If that port is already open for one server, you cannot open that port for another instance. You can think of ports as a fork in the road. Each port only goes to the assigned program. You can change the port of one of the servers and it be able to run both server on the same machine. It should be located in the server.properties file. Scroll down until you see "Server-port=25565" You can change it to anything but I would just move up like 100 so 25665. When you connect to server on minecraft you will have to specify the port now though.
Another question, I'm having trouble installing plugins. I don't quite understand how your download went straight into a folder on you ubuntu. I didn't actually have a folder titled 'Downloads', so I had to make one. And it still didn't show up. I tried copying the download's link address with a wget command, but keep getting a 403 Error saying the action is Forbidden. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks for your time!
Are using Ubuntu server or desktop? If you are using Desktop if you click on the files shortcut, The shortcut bar on the left looks like file cabinet. It should open you home folder that has your Downloads Folder. If you use firefox that is where they will all go by default. When you download the addon in your browser, you can see where it is downloading to by clicking on the downloads or ctrl+j in the browser you used to download an addon. That should open a new page or popup. You will see the addon you downloaded. Click on the folder to the right. That will take you to the download location. Then you can see where it is downloading the addon files.
Yeah, I have a virtual machine in my lab that has Pterodactyl installed and I have used that in the past. Just figured most people who want a minecraft server and are looking how to's on youtube dont want to go through the hassle of setting something like that up. Ill check pufferpanel out though a little more in depth. Thanks for the suggestion mate!
@@JamesCatena Thanks. I really did try so many different ways from different videos until I came across pufferpanel. Installed java17 though as I set up a paper 1.19 server. Worked flawlessly for my very limited Linux experience
papermc.io/downloads Go there find the version you want. Paste that link instead of the one in the video and it will download the correct version you choose. Everything else should be the same.
Ill check it out, Normally I use only server versions with just CLI. I used to only use centos but since that is ending I changed to ubuntu since its widely used and can find help when I need it more easy. Thanks for the suggestion big dog!
