How To Make A (Free) Minecraft Server

Hey all! This is actually a very easy process! You can pay with your friends and completely control your world!

I'm just now learning some of this process myself, so bear with me, but I know this par by heart! I will make a video for this soon, so you can clarify anything your not sure about with that video, but you can also comment below and email at: minecarting@gmail.com.

Anyways, here goes nothing.

First you need to download LogMeIn Hamatchi at secure.logmein.com. Then make a new network. Congratulations! You have your server's IP address! The IP address is what will connect you to the server.

Next go to minecraft.net. Then click on download. Then at the bottom-most paragraph (in the middle) there should be a link in the next. Click on it and download it. It should say something about a server. Then make a folder somewhere and put that file in there.

Next run the file. Wait until it says Spawn 100% then go back to the folder. KEEP THE SERVER FILE RUNNING. This is your server, and you will need to keep it running in order for you or anyone else to play on it. Once your back into your server folder, click on server properties. Enter your Hamatchi network number where it says IP address.

Next enter Minecraft. Go to Multiplayer and "add server" enter whatever name you want and then enter that IP address. If all went well, you are in your Minecraft world.

To add your friends, they need to download Hamatchi. Then they need to join your Hamatchi network, therefor they need to know your network name and password. Also your Minecraft IP address. The they can join.
