#3 - Changes to Eula.txt and take note of query.port settings

After the jar has been run, a new text file with the name Eula will be created in the server folder. Open it in text editor and alter eula=false to eula=true and save.

A second file, dubbed "server.properties", can be found by players. It contains all the required information and settings like query.port and gamemode.

#4 The server is ready to go live

Enter the jar launch command again. The server should now be running without error. You can join the server by entering localhost or your public IP address into the IP address box. You can add ":25565" to the end of your public address to join the server.

Just share your IP address with trusted family members and friends. Do not share it with strangers as it could create security risks for your family and house. Interested readers can learn more about the process of setting up a server by clicking here.
