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

After running the jar the new text file with the name Eula will be added to the server folder. Open it using text editor and alter eula=false to eula=true and save.

A second file, called "server.properties", can be discovered by players. It contains all the required information and settings such as query.port and gamemode.

#4 - The server may be started

Enter the command to launch the jar again. The server should now be running without error.  Minecraft servers  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 and friends. It is a security risk to your family and home when you share it with strangers. Readers who are interested can find out more about the process of setting up a server by clicking here.
