CREATE YOUR OWN MINECRAFT SERVER! Super Easy, Fast and Free! (NO CLICK BAIT)

Minecraft is an extremely enjoyable game where you can practically do anything you desire! But playing with friends across the internet can be a pain sometimes. Sadly, most multiplayer servers are either filled with trolls, not the gameplay experience you want or are simply too laggy. The other option is to host a LAN world, but you have to be connected to the same wifi as your friend. Setting up your own private servers seems to be a very daunting task (They are!) for any type of Minecraft player. But what if I told you, that you can have your own private server with endless customization in a few mouse clicks! Oh also... ANYONE CAN DO IT!

I PRESENT TO YOU

The options tab is your best friend! Heres what it allows you to do.

[aidenblack282]

how do you speed up queue?

[aidenblack282]

its very slow and when i mine a block it does not break 20 secods later it breaks

[costin211.boss]

why is it fast if it's a lot in queue?

[costin211.boss]

it is not fast. i have to wait 20 minutes, speed up. if it's 5 minutes it's good.

[oliverjjohnson]

I already did it before I saw this and it is awesome!

[CrispyPin]

aternos is not fast. depending on the time of day you may have to wait 45+ minutes. lower your expectations!

[samsuchin]

I've only had ONE time that the queue time has been over 20 minutes. Every other time it has been less than 2 minutes...

I have running two (2) 1.10.2 railcraft pi3 servers and one 1.12.2/beta 1.13 pi3 server running and would help anyone get that far for a local servers. Note my pi3 are on raspbin 8 not 9 yet. Just started to test 9 and it hasn't passed all my network requirements yet. PSAD fails to run.
Let's move that qso to my email KD5PQJ at KD5PQJ.COM or a new project.

Thanks for guiding; now I'm created a server and planning to play with my little brother. :)

Glad to help!

I'd like to put a server on an arduino with an eithernet shield.. somebody did this long ago*, but it's for version 1.8 protocol 42.**

Not sure how it works***, it seems the arduino just needs to process the PC game controls, and update the map accordingly.

If I just want to play locally, not go online, do you know what/where I would need to buy to play with the (2015) 1.8 server? Ebay only lists 1.12.2, and that's for Win10 not 7/8. BTW, I see the Minecraft Raspberry PI / Pocket Edition is free, but I assume that's just the client side?

Hi there,

Sadly, I am not very knowledgeable about using Arduino. But from what you're saying. If all you wanna do is play locally, then why don't you just host a LAN server on your internet. But if you really want to use an Arduino then why don't you download a 1.8 PVP plugin/mod for the 1.12.2 version (Assuming that's why you want to play 1.8). But the only problem would be that you don't have Windows 10 (It's not that bad). Really sorry I can't give much help... Maybe ask some Arduino/Minecraft forums.
