Setting up a server

In this guide I will teach you how to create you own minecraft server!

Personally I prefer the Bukkit server because it has a more friendly interface, installing mods onto it is much easier, and it has a wide selection of mods 

It is simple to create a server and it takes around 10 minutes to create :

1.  Download  CraftBukkit's latest build
2. Put the .jar file in the directory you'd like the server to run from
3. Open notepad and type: 

@ECHO OFF

SET BINDIR=%~dp0

CD /D "%BINDIR%"

"%ProgramFiles%\Java\jre6\bin\java.exe" -Xincgc -Xmx1G -jar craftbukkit-1.0.0-SNAPSHOT.jar

PAUSE

     4. Save the document as RUN.bat (not as a .txt)

     5. Double Click RUN.bat and you're away!

     6. When you're done toying, issue "stop" command in console.

     7. Edit the properties file if you want to change any settings.

Thats it you are ready to go and build it all in multiplayer !

Stay tuned for more posts from me and Mide !
