About this video: By learning how to make a Minecraft server in 1.20.4, you will be able to play Minecraft with your friends in 1.20.4. Specifically, in this video, we show you how to create a Minecraft server without any mods or plugins. However, we also have super in-depth guides on getting a server with mods or plugins that you can check out as well.

I do want to mention though that this isn’t a 24 hour server, and it is hosted on your own computer using your internet. This means it is only for your friends, family, and people that you trust. You will also need a good computer in order to run a Minecraft 1.20.4 server. We also recommend getting Java 17 from the link above and running the Jarfix as this is required for running a Minecraft server.

At this point, you can join the server using Minecraft 1.20.4 and the IP address “localhost”. If you want your friends to join, we will need to port forward.

We go over port forwarding in order to play Minecraft 1.20.4 with your friends in depth in the video. Specifically, you will need to forward the port 25565 on the TCP and UDP protocols. Once you have port forwarded, you can get your public IP from the port in the description above and give that your friends. Your friends will join your Minecraft 1.20.4 server using the public IP address.

Your server should be setup and joinable by your friends at this point. Something worth noting is you may want to give yourself operator on the server in order to use more commands in-game. This can be done in the server’s console with the “op USERNAME” command.

Nevertheless, you now know how to make a Minecraft server in 1.20.4. If you have any questions about how to setup a Minecraft server in 1.20.4, let us know in the comments. We will try our best to help you out.

Mr Breakdown, i dont know your channel well, but watched several server tutorials over the years. Big thank you for still making them for every new version.

when i double click ther jar file even after jar fix it does nothing

[silkatouch]

Been trying to follow your videos for years and every single time, without fail, my friends were not able to connect.

[gabrielattili]

My server.jar comes as default to open with WinRAR, when I try to open with Java it says "a Java Exception has occurred"

[AtomicFishLoL]

Best tutorial I've ever watched. You are to-the-point, your speaking skills are insane, and you cover every detail and possible scenario so I was never stuck/unsure of what to do. Huge cheers to you mate, thank you!

[ConnorAakre]

Why doesn’t Minecraft just make it multiplayer like on bedrock edition?

[staticscoffee]

can you please explain the part where you mentioned the local host connection server and the IP server? i dont quite understand how that works, as others connect through the IP server but yourself connects through the local host server, that doesnt add up for me... could you please elaborate? thank you!

[petertenoven]

thank you for explaining port forwarding! i needed that!

[chuexxu]

i put the Eula to true but when i click on the server jar again it doesn't show up anything

[shade]

Very thorough and well explained. Thanks for the help!

[emilykaston]

Thank you for the tutorial, it helps me on getting to play with my friends in Java for free. Is there a way to add mods to it though? Some help would be appreciated

[WilliamSoffe]

Another amazing video. Thank you so much for all of these tutorials over the years!

[SteelKreel]

Can you make a video on how to install the Create mod for Forge/Fabric?

[maxboiplayz]

how do you download an older version the website only lets you get the most recent

[nathanbulle]

This doesn't work. When I add a server all it says is that I can't join the server.

[maxxtheglowsticks]

i have a question. if u buyt the subscription and make a server. and stop paying for the subscription. does is get rid of your server? or makes it stop working?

[zIciclesFN]

is there a way for a survival world that I already have to become a server?

[Shawn]

worked great now it's saying can't connect to server?

[absolutelyylana]
