- How to Install Minecraft Server on CentOS VPS
- Virtual servers are the ideal hosts for minecraft servers. Setting up a Minecraft server is simple, but there are a few requirements you must double-check:
- + Xen-based VPS. Due to differences in how Java works with OpenVZ and Xen, a Xen server is recommended for best performance.
- + Latest Java-JDK
- + At least 1gb of RAM. Less will work for a small server, but 1gb or more is recommended.
- + CentOS operating system installed.
- On to the Minecraft server setup:
- 1. Start by installing Java-JDK:
- # yum install java-1.6.0-openjdk
- 2. Check if Java was installed:
- # which java
- The following will be displayed if it was properly installed:
- # /usr/bin/java
- 3. Switch to the root directory, if you're not there already:
- # cd
- 4. Create a directory for Minecraft:
- # mkdir Minecraft
- 5. Enter the directory:
- # cd Minecraft
- 6. Download Minecraft:
- # wget http://minecraft.net/download/minecraft_server.jar
- 7. CHMOD the Minecraft .jar like so:
- # chmod +x minecraft_server.jar
- 8. Minecraft is now installed. You'll now need to install "screen" to keep the Minecraft server running after the SSH session is closed.
- # yum install screen
- 9. Use the screen and run Minecraft. Enter screen:
- # screen
- 10. Start up Minecraft (you can edit the 1024M value to match your server's RAM):
- # java -Xmx1024M -Xms1024M -jar minecraft_server.jar nogui
- To get back to the normal screen, press these keys: Control+A+D
- To get back to the screen where Minecraft is running:
- # screen -r
- You should now be off and running with a fully functional Minecraft server!
