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.

Port Forwarding
