How do you make a standard server minecraft?

Answer 1

First you nab the software at : www.http//:minecraft.net, Its under downloads.

Now once that's done, you should have a file named "Minecraft server"

With that, run it. It'll add a bunch of files like Server, Banned-Ip's, Etc.

Now get on it by going to multiplayer, type in LocalHost and press join.

Now go to the Minecraft server file you created, it should say "(YourName) Has joined the game."

Now, To op yourself (make you an admin) You type "op (Name)" and you have spawning commands etc.

Port uploading is how to make it online for other players. I don't know how to do that yet.

Answer 2
