What you need {#-what-you-need}

To create a simple server, you need the following:

  • MCSS installed on your computer, in a folder where you have write permissions. Do not run MCSS within the zip archive you downloaded
  • A server file, we recommend using paper. You can checkout the downloads and more information in the Sourcing a server file section.
  • The latest version of Java. Look at our Java version guide for more information and download links.

:::info If you want to create a Forge or Fabric server, please use the specific instructions : - For forge - For Fabric :::

Creating a server {#-creating-a-server}

  1. Open MCSS and click on the Create Server button.
  2. In the Create Server window, select the server type you want to create. For this guide, we will use Paper.

:::tip If the srver type doesn't appear in the list (for example Neoforge) don't worry ! MCSS is still most likely capable of running it. Just select the "closest" available type (in this example Forge) :::

  1. Click on the Select File button to choose the server file you downloaded earlier.
  2. Navigate to the folder where you saved the server file, select it, and click Open.
  3. Enter a name for your server in the Server Name field.
  4. Optionally, you can change the Server Port if you want to use a different port than the default (25565).
  5. Click on the Create button to create the server.
  6. Once the server is created, you will see it in the Servers list.
  7. To start the server, select it from the list and click on the Start Server button.
