Hey,
Today I'm going to show you how to make a Minecraft Bukkit Server in a few simple steps.
#1. Download bukkit.jar. Make sure you download the correct version
Recommended Build: "I am very recommended, but I don't update so often."
Beta Build: "Beta, like the words says. Very little bugs, but up-to-date."
Development Build: "Yes, I am the newest version, but has very much bugs. Some plugins might not work."
#2. Make a map called "Minecraft Server" on your desktop. Rename the .jar file to "craftbukkit.jar" and place it in the map you maked before.
#3. Press right-click -> "New" -> "Notepad". This should open a new notepad file. Copy and paste the following code in.
Download Java7 if you haven't already
86x
Code:
@ECHO OFF
SET BINDIR=%~dp0
CD /D "%BINDIR%"
"%ProgramFiles(x86)%\Java\jre7*\bin\java.exe" -Xmx1024M -Xms1024M -jar craftbukkit.jar
PAUSE
64x
Code:
@ECHO OFF
SET BINDIR=%~dp0
CD /D "%BINDIR%"
"%ProgramFiles%\Java\jre7\bin\*java.exe" -Xmx1024M -Xms1024M -jar craftbukkit.jar
PAUSE
EXPLANATION
GREEN: Directory of your Java7 location
GRAY: RAM dedicated to your server
RED: The .jar file you want java to execute
#4. Save the file in the same folder as: "Server_Start.bat"
#5. Assigning more RAM to your server
You can change the -Xms
1024M -Xmx
1024M to whatever you would like to dedicate more RAM!
Examples:
1GB = 1024
2GB = 2048
3GB = 3072
4GB = 4096
12GB=12288
#6. Config your server by opening "server.properties" in Notepad or Notepad ++
#7. That's all! Start you "Server_Start.bat" and let it download the needed files.
