How to make your own Minecraft server [Hamachi]

Okay well first off in order to run your own server with hamachi were going to need to download hamachi from this site: https://secure.logmein.com/products/.../download.aspx [Download Unmanaged one]

Next we are going to need to download the server files from the minecraft website: http://www.minecraft.net/download.jsp
or just download the files I am going to upload.

Pictures And instructions

1. We are going to need to start up hamachi and create our own network when you create your own network.

Its up to you what your passwords going to be but you need a network name something you can remember to let people into your server.

2. Next we are going to need to our server files. First off we are going to have to run the file minecraft server.jar the file I am going to be giving you in the uploaded attachment. Your going to want to create a new folder and naming it whatever you want but place your .jar file in that folder and run it. After a second or two your going to see a couple of files pop up in your folder because the .jar is going to need to create these files for our server.

3. Once we get our files we are going to go to the file named server properties. Now we don't have a program to open it automatically were going to open it with note pad.

4. With our file open with note pad were going to go back to hamachi while its still running and above our network you should see something that looks like a IP address were going to enter that for our servers IP address underlined in the picture below.

5. Now that we have our Servers IP set up were going to have to change one more thing for you to not get an error. Where it says online-mode=true in your notepad for your server your going to want to make it online-mode=false.

This is what I have to do but I used a cracked version so maybe you won't have to change it who knows. And your going to want to leave the port number as is. The rest you can change to your liking.

6. Starting your server up your going to have to run that .jar file I gave you earlier make sure its still in the folder and its going to load up your world and prepare everything for you.

7. Getting your friends to join your going to have to have them join your hamachi network and for the multi player IP its going to be your hamachi IP.
Once they join both your Hamachi network and enter you Hamachi IP they should be able to get on minecraft as long as you still have your server running from your .jar file.

If you have any questions referring on how to get your server running or what not feel free to ask me I would love to help.

Its helpful to have a high ram to run both minecraft and your server.

Virus Scans on server file.

minecraft_server.jar - Jotti's malware scan

VirusTotal - Free Online Virus, Malware and URL Scanner

They both do the same thing either way so you could download the .exe or the .jar I use the .jar and I am on a windows 7 laptop.

Thanks for posting this Dakota, I just made my Minecraft Server : )

Anytime just wanted to help out since I had to learn the hard way (:

i did everything you said to do and i also have the cracked version of minecraft. I start up the server i go into minecraft log in with the fake account from the cracked version. Then go to play offline and multi player i typed in the hamachi ip and it starts connecting but fails because it took to long. is there any way to fix this or is my cracked version screwed up?

Perhaps trying the cracked version I posted and make sure you have your .jar of that runs your server and gave you the files is running to get in your game for that runs it and allows players to play on it.

thx working so far im gonna try with two comps in a sec

ok i did it on my comp but my friend still cant connect its timeing out hes in my hamachi server i made him dl your version and everything and he still is timeine out any tips?

im having the same prob with my second comp i can connect with the comp im hosting the server on but not on the other one
and both computers have the hamachi server stuff

now its saying user is not premium so its not connecting...

EDIT: ok i changed it back to online mode false and its letting me connect but he still cant connect

Make sure your friend is in your hamachi network and make sure he uses the correct hamachi which he can find beside your name.

My friend has his server and last night we played for quite a few hours but today we opened the server and it hadn't saved. How do we save the server?

If its online when you click escape it should start saving your game thats probably all I can tell you there isn't a feature that says save level it should auto save

howd u get it working i cant let my other comp connect both have hamachi and they are both connected to the correct network

do you have the purchased version of the game?
