This page is dedicated to help you with setting up servers and more.

Set up your own server

Introduction

Make sure you know how to set up a basic (vanilla) Minecraft server. Here are some good articles about the basics for vanilla:

Minecraft.net – How To Setup A Minecraft: Java Server

Minecraft Wiki – Tutorials/Setting up a server

YouTube – Minecraft 1.20 Server Tutorial

A main difference between vanilla Minecraft and modded Minecraft is that hosting a server with Beyond Mines requires more memory than a vanilla server. Make sure your server has enough resources (usually 3-8GB, depends on playercount and entity management) before continuing.

Java

Make sure you have the right version of Java installed. A common issue is having 32-bit Java or the wrong Java version for your Minecraft version. All Beyond Mines packs need 64-bit Java. Get the latest Java OpenJDK by Adoptium here:

Make sure to restart your system after installing or changing Java.

  3. Type “I agree” and press Enter to accept and continue
  4. If you followed the steps correctly, the server will now load

Port Forwarding

If you want to allow access to the server from the Internet, you’ll need to enable port forwarding to the server from your router. This article on the Minecraft Wiki provides a good starting point, but the exact method will vary depending on your router model. Here are some useful lnks for popular router models:

AVM FRITZ!Box router

NETGEAR router

TP-Link router

ASUS router
