This guide explains how to install a **simple Minecraft Java server** on your **Linux vServer, Root Server, or Dedicated Server**.
## Information
Minecraft is a popular **open-world game** that revolves around **blocks, blocks, and even more blocks**.
### 🐧 Server Installation
First, **log into your server via SSH** as the **root user**.
1. **Update the server package sources**:
```sh
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade
```
2. **Install Java (8)**:
```sh
sudo apt install openjdk-8-jre-headless
```
3. **Install Screen (session manager)**:
```sh
sudo apt install screen
```
4. **Configure the firewall (UFW)**:
```sh
sudo ufw allow 25565
```
5. **Download the desired Minecraft version** (example: **1.17**):
```sh
wget https://launcher.mojang.com/v1/objects/0a269b5f2c5b93b1712d0f5dc43b6182b9ab254e/server.jar
```
> **Note:** Use **`wget`** to download the `.jar` file or manually upload it via **SFTP/FTP client**.
6. **Start a screen session** (so the server keeps running after closing SSH):
```sh
screen
```
The **screen information text** can be skipped with **SPACE (spacebar)**.
7. **Start the Minecraft server with 1024MB RAM**:
```sh
java -Xms1024M -Xmx1024M -jar server.jar nogui
```
8. **Accept the Minecraft EULA**:
After the **first start**, you must accept the **EULA license agreement** from Mojang.
Open the **EULA file** using nano:
```sh
nano eula.txt
```
Change the line **`eula=false`** to **`eula=true`**, then **save and exit**.
9. **Start the server again**:
```sh
java -Xms1024M -Xmx1024M -jar server.jar nogui
```
10. **Keep the server running after closing SSH**:
Leave the **screen session** with **CTRL + A + D**.
11. **Reconnect to the Minecraft console later**:
```sh
screen -r
```
If multiple screens exist, list them with:
```sh
screen -ls
```
Then reconnect with:
```sh
screen -r [session-id]
```
### 💻 Minecraft Client Setup
1. **Launch your Minecraft client**.
2. **Go to Multiplayer > Add Server**.
3. **Enter your server's IP address and port (`IPV4:25565`)**.
4. **Join and start exploring the infinite block world!**
**The installation is now complete!**
