Installing a Local Minecraft Server

This article discover how to set up a local Minecraft server using StreamToEarn with PaperMC version 1.20.1 (recommended) or another version. Server is used to run plugins (mini-games) that allow you to create an arena for interactive streams with a single Minecraft command. Video How to Set Up

Install JDK 22

In order to run the Minecraft server, you need to install JDK Version 22. After you download and install the Java Development Kit (JDK), you need to restart the StreamToEarn app, and possibly your computer. This needs to be done only once.


Install New Server

After you have installed the StreamToEarn program and logged into the system, you will see a widget on the right side of the screen that allows you to set up and start a local Minecraft server. This server will be accessible only from your local network. This means that only computers connected to your local network (WIFY) will be able to join your server.


Select installation Directory and accept EULA

In the installation window, you need to perform two actions: 1.Select a folder where the Minecraft server files will be deployed. If you select a non-empty folder or simply the C drive, the program will automatically create a folder for the server files. 2.To install and start the Minecraft server, you need to agree to the EULA from the Minecraft server developers.


Install Plugins

After installing the server, you can add mini-game plugins. Remember to restart the server after the plugin installation.

All plugins have their own commands for starting a game and executing different functions in the game, which are specified in the preset as a trigger function.


Join the Server

To join the server, you need the Java Edition of Minecraft with the same client version as the server, in our case it's 1.20.1 version. You can easily change the game client version in the Minecraft launcher. Launch the game, go to Multiplayer, then select Direct Connection and enter ip: localhost .


Terminal

If your server does not start, you can check the Terminal for the reason. To quickly resolve the issue, use our GPT assistant by providing it with the text from the Terminal. You can also manage the server through the Terminal without entering the game.
