Creating a server in Minecraft
There are several ways to create a server in Minecraft, this time we will learn how to create a server for free and easily, with a third-party service.
Among the useful online services or web pages that make it easy to create and configure a server Minecraft we will find”“Aternos” which will be the one we will use, following these simple steps:
Sign up for the service
- For this we only have to search in the browser of our computer, the aternos website and enter it, after being on the main page we must click on the button “Get yours now”.
- This will take us to the login page so that we can register our user for the first time, so we must press the button "Check in". Here we just have to choose a username and accept the terms that will appear below, then we will proceed to choose our password and attach our email so that in case we forget our password, we can recover it by email. After filling out the entire form, click on "Check in".
Create and activate your server on the web
- At the end of the registration this will leave us on the control center screen, in which we must locate and click on the button “Create a server”.
- The previous step will leave us in the server configuration screen which will have a name and description created from our username and which we can change whenever we want. In this same screen we can choose the version of Minecraft that we will use for this server, which may be the classic java version or the Bedrock version, once we choose the version we want, we click on the button "To create".
- Once the server has been created, we must activate it by clicking on the server that we have just created on the web, in order to access its data, being here we only have to click on the button "Start" that will appear in green, as well as we can write down the server data to be able to access it from the game.
- After pressing the button "Start" we must accept the Mojang software license or Mojang EULA. After which the web will request permission to access the notifications of our browser to notify when the server will be active, this is because the activation process may take a few minutes.
- When a message appears saying that your server is already online, you can safely start using it. It must be taken into account that if the server is not used regularly, the service will deactivate the server automatically and we will have to enter and activate it again, as well as we will have a new option in the server control panel called “Install a server software” to install different versions of Minecraft to adapt it to your needs and tastes.
Accessing the server
For this we just have to start Minecraft as usual and look for the option “add a new external server" and enter the data of the server that we have created, which can be: Server name, IP and port. After adding all the necessary data we just have to click on the button "Keep in Minecraft"so that it is registered and we do not have to re-enter the data. Then we place the server we just created in the list of servers and ready we can play Minecraft from our own server both with friends and alone.
