Easiest Way to Set up your own Minecraft Server

There’s no doubt that Minecraft is surely the best crafting game where players from all over the world have the opportunity to craft on a huge number of terrains. Crafting the simplest things can be quite complicated and takes a lot of time but when you’re teaming up with your friends then the most challenging crafts will seem a lot easier.

There are a handful of ways that you can try to play with your friends but the best option is to set up your own server. Setting up a Minecraft server is no rocket science but if you have a week internet connection or low-spec PC then I’d recommend renting a hosting. If you have no idea where to find the best hosting for yourself then this guide will come in handy.

Looking to have a fun time with your friends? Set up your own server and enjoy crafting many unique things in Minecraft. The best thing about having your own server is that you could easily modify the settings and enhance your crafting experience. If you’re doing this for the first time and have no idea how to set up the server then our guide will make things quite easier for you.

First of all, go to the single-player option and start-off with a new world. You could easily customize the word settings from the first screen and the single-player world is spawn. Now to upload this world onto the server, go to the desktop and search of %appdata% in ‘Run.Exe’. There you’ll see a Minecraft folder. Now open the folder and look for the ‘Saves’ folder, there you will see a world that you’re currently playing in.

Compress the save world using Winrar and rename the folder to the ‘world’. Once you’ve followed all these steps then you will need a solid hosting that your server will be running in. There are many decent Minecraft hostings in the market but TechRadar’s and WhoIsHostingThis have some pretty good recommendations that you should probably check.

I’d recommend going forward with the most reliable one but it really depends on your budget. Once you’ve selected the desired hosting then you can go ahead and upload the .rar file on the hosting. The server will be live after that and you can invite your friends to play with you.

Inviting your friends to the server is actually quite easy. All you will need to do is search for ‘What’s my IP’ in the Google search bar and your IP will appear on the screen. Copy the IP and send it to your friends and then they can easily join the server.

When buying the hosting, make sure to have more slots for players if you’re going to invite a lot of friends but if you’re only playing with a handful of friends then a few slots will be more than enough.

That’s all folks!

Beginner’s Guide For Setting Up a Server in Terraria

Ulla Barita Guide , 0 Comments

Terraria is without any doubt, one of the most fun and adventurous multiplayer games that offers a very unique experience that many major AAA titles lack to offer. Terraria can be a bit difficult and less fun when you’re playing alone but if you have a couple of friends that are also into this excellent adventure game then teaming up with them will save you a lot of frustration.

Exploring the wild and finding the best resources will increase your chances of survival because you can craft some dangerous weapons to fight against the most fierce enemies. Terraria is surely more fun when you’re playing with your friends and for that, you must have your own dedicated server where all of your friends can play together.

Setting up a server in Terraria is actually quite simple. It might get complicated in the middle but our easy to access guide will make things quite easier for you. The first thing that you’ll need to is head to the directory folder of the games and run ‘TerrariaServer.Exe’. A window will pop-up where you can easily customize your server. For example, you can choose the world of your own choice.

If you don’t have any world map then you can easily create a new one by typing ‘n’ and a fresh cmd file will appear that will ask you to add the maximum number of players you want in the server. Note, the higher the number is the more data it will need to run smoothly. If you’re not sure if your PC can handle the server then I’d recommend going forward with paid hosting.

Once you’ve put in the numbers, the server will be live but you’ll need a few cmd commands to help you through the process. Type ‘Help’ in the batch file and a list of useful commands will appear on the screen.

Now that the server is live, open the game and click on the ‘Multiplayer’ option. From there, you will have to choose the ‘Join with IP’ option. After choosing your character, you will be asked to type the local IP address. Now you will have two options, you can either join the server by typing ‘localhost’ or your IP address which is 127.0.0.1. Both of them will do the same thing and join you on the server.

For your friends, you will have to share your IP with them. There are many websites on Google that you could use to find our IP address or you could just type ‘what is my IP’ in the Google search bar. Once your friends have your IP, they could easily access your server within a few minutes.

Setting up a local server was the easy part but if you want a stable dedicated server then you’ll have to do a lot more work then just open a single file. Setting up a dedicated server in Terraria is a bit complicated but this guide will surely make things easier for you.
