dedicated server, minecraft dedicated server

I am interested in getting a dedicated server and plan to setup a minecraft server on it.  Do you offer any steps on how to set one up?

Setting up Minecraft server on Dedicated server

If you avail dedicated Server from Psychz Networks and wish to setup minecraft server on it, you can be worry free as the minimum memory it comes along is 4GB which is pretty good. 

Following content will help you in setting up a Minecraft server on Ubuntu 12.0

Now, it is highly recommended to set up the server under different username rather than "root". But you can still set up under "root", however it is not secure.  

optional: 
To add a new user in Ubuntu, use the adduser command (You must login as "root")

    sudo adduser new_user_name

Type in the password and confirm 

Press enter followed by Y. Your new user has been created

Now you need to assign root previledges to this user in order to set up the installation

Open the sudoers file with following command:

sudo /usr/sbin/visudo

Adding the user’s name and the same permissions as root under the the user privilege specification will grant them the sudo privileges.

# User privilege specification
root    ALL=(ALL:ALL) ALL 
new_user_name    ALL=(ALL:ALL) ALL

Press ‘cntrl + x’ to exit the file and then ‘Y’ to save it.

 

Installing pre-requisites

Run a quick update on "apt-get". This is to download all of the server requirements.

sudo apt-get update

Install the Java on the server 

 java -version (this will give you the version currenty installed. In case you don’t have Java installed, you will get a message that says "java: command not found". 

You can, then, download java through apt-get:

sudo apt-get install default-jdk

 

Installing Mincraft Server

First create a new directory named "minecraft"

mkdir minecraft

switch to the directory 

cd minecraft

Now in that directory you need to download latest version of Minecraft Server Software

wget https://s3.amazonaws.com/Minecraft.Download/versions/1.10.2/minecraft_server.1.10.2.jar


Once the file is downloaded you may rename it 

mv minecraft_server.1.10.2.jar minecraft_server.jar

Now we can start the server 

java -Xmx1024M -Xms1024M -jar minecraft_server.jar nogui

The first run have created eula.txt file which we now need to edit to accept EULA(End User Legal Agreement). Type following command 

sed -i.orig 's/eula=false/eula=true/g' eula.txt

Now you may run it again 

java -Xmx1024M -Xms1024M -jar minecraft_server.jar nogui


The server should start now and you can type the IP address of your server to connect
