Installation<\/strong><\/h2>\n

To create a\u00a0Minecraft<\/strong>\u00a0server is easy. Login to your new CentOS 6 1GB RAM VPS Server at AKLWEB Host and install Java 1.6.0 Open JDK.<\/p>\n

ssh root@ip.ip.ip.ip\r\n[root@aklwebhost ~]# yum install java-1.6.0-openjdk\r\n<some output here>\r\nIs this ok [y\/N]: y\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
Once you have installed the JDK we should make a user to run your Minecraft server under. This is for security purposes as it is not good practice to run a minecraft server as root.<\/p>\n
adduser mcserver\r\npasswd mcserver\r\n#set a secure password.\r\nyum install screen\r\n#this allows you to run screen while su'd from root for the next step\r\nchown mcserver `tty`\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
Now lets change users and install Minecraft! Change the\u00a0wget<\/code>\u00a0URL accordingly for newer versions of Minecraft.<\/p>\n
su - mcserver\r\nmkdir minecraft\r\ncd minecraft\r\nwget https:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/Minecraft.Download\/versions\/1.11\/minecraft_server.1.11.jar\r\nchmod +x minecraft_server.jar\r\nscreen\r\necho \"eula=true\" > eula.txt\r\n#start your Minecraft Server\r\njava -Xmx768M -Xms768M -jar minecraft_server.jar nogui\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
Congratulations, your Minecraft server is now up and running on your high performance SSD VPS server!<\/p>\n
Notes<\/strong><\/h2>\n
To install on a 768MB VPS follow the same commands above but change the last java command to:<\/p>\n
java -Xmx512M -Xms512M -jar minecraft_server.jar nogui\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
If you require more players (and thus more RAM) you just launch a larger instance and then simply subtract 256M from the amount of RAM your instance has allocated. For example a 4096 instance would launch with -XmX3840M -Xms3840M<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","format":"standard","manualknowledgebasecat":[105,231,242,243],"manual_kb_tag":[188],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/support.aklwebhost.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/manual_kb\/2261"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/support.aklwebhost.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/manual_kb"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/support.aklwebhost.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/manual_kb"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/support.aklwebhost.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/support.aklwebhost.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2261"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/support.aklwebhost.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/manual_kb\/2261\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2262,"href":"https:\/\/support.aklwebhost.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/manual_kb\/2261\/revisions\/2262"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/support.aklwebhost.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2261"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"manualknowledgebasecat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/support.aklwebhost.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/manualknowledgebasecat?post=2261"},{"taxonomy":"manual_kb_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/support.aklwebhost.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/manual_kb_tag?post=2261"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
