About this video: Learning how to make a Minecraft server in 1.21 will unlock all kinds of amazing things. Primarily, it will allow you to play Minecraft with your friends in 1.21 experiencing trial chambers, the crafter, and all of Minecraft 1.21’s new features together.

This guide is our comprehensive guide on how to create a Minecraft server in 1.21. That includes where to download the Minecraft server files, how to start a Minecraft server in 1.21 with those files, and how to play Minecraft 1.21 with your friends after your server is setup allowing them connect and join.

In order to play Minecraft 1.21 with your friends on your server, you will need to port forward. This allows them to connect to your server on your computer.

We cover port forwarding in-depth in the video, but specifically, you will need to forward port 25565 on the TCP and UDP protocols. Once this is done, your friends will be able to join your server using the public IP address!

There are also helpful guides in the description above on adding RAM to your server, fixing issues, and even letting Java through Windows Defender, which could be stopping your friends from joining your 1.21 Minecraft server after you have port forwarded.

Been out of the loop with anything MC for the last 8 years or so. Very easy to follow and well explained! Thank you!

This works 100%. The thing was that I was on a older video so I was confused on why it wasn't working but this works 100% all the way through!!!

[prestoncoffelt]

Man, this was so helpful! The best tutorial I've ever seen on how to set up a server. I haven't been able to figure it out in the past so I'm so glad I came across your video and your channel!!!

[samllea]

you rock man! I watched your port forwarding video and you explained it amazingly!!!

[MissSantaSwift]

I get a "getsockopt" error whenever I try and join from another computer in my house, and since I'm running the server on a seperate build, it's essential I can use it from another computer. My friends can join just fine, but I can't.

[Shadowlord]

[Your_Local_Young_Musician]

[oatz]

Hey man great video! I'm just wondering if its possible to mod this type of server? I wanna play modded Minecraft with my friends!

[krisslick]

I've used your videos many times and they are supper helpful. My question is, If I want to udate my existing 1.20 server, do I need to make a new one using this method or is there another way I should do it if I am only wanting to update and keep my world?

Thanks!

Got my server working on Ubuntu Server. Just wanna buff up the server with plugins before I add friends but nothing is up to 1.21 yet. Can you do a video on supporting older plugins in 1.21 so we can get them working?

[PerfectFlamethebest]
