Host Your Own Minecraft Server

Why Should you Host Your Own Minecraft Server?

Minecraft is known as a game of freedom! You can create anything you can think of from computers to castles to real-world cities.

With all this freedom, why then bother having your own Minecraft server? It's simple, more freedom. Hosting your own server allows you to alter the game in so many ways that you normally would not be able to.

Benefits When You Host Your own Minecraft Server

One of the best reasons to consider hosting your own Minecraft server is the peace of mind you can have from greater security levels.

Dedicated servers allow you to have complete control over who can access your world! Minecraft's Player Real only allows you and ten other players to enjoy your world together. With your own hosted Minecraft Server, you can open it up globally to create your own community and platform for friends worldwide.

Alternatively, you can make it a safe den that only your chosen friends can enter. Other than the resources you need to run it, a server offers you the chance to game with no limitations!

You Define The Rules of your Minecraft World

In a similar vein, hosting a server allows you to create and enforce your own rules. You can break free from the rules you may have previously followed in other worlds. Alternatively, you can fully immerse yourself into your own ideal gaming experience. The rules are at your fingertips. You can assign and deny roles to other players in your world. You can alter and control the spawn rates, game physics, visible landscapes, and many more! Hosting your own Minecraft server can make the experience of building a world as a sole administrator, entirely yours!

Additionally, you can kick players out of your world whenever they are not following your rules. If you are hosting a server for a child, this can be especially important. You have complete control over who can interact with your children. Something which you cannot guarantee in an open-world game that you do not host.

Modifications and Upgrades

One of the biggest challenges of playing Minecraft on home internet connections is that you cannot add your own modifications or change anything about the game's hardware. When you host your own Minecraft server with the right company, you will gain the ability to upgrade and make any changes to the hardware that you see fit. You can make changes at any point that suits you and your game's ever-changing needs!

Further to this, if you select an unmanaged dedicated server, you can gain root access to your server which allows you to easily modify the game as you see fit.

Freedom of your own Minecraft server

Another key factor of Minecraft is the element of freedom. Freedom to build and design a world to the whims of your imagination. The endless options within the game can really challenge your creativity and can allow your imagination to run wild. Hosting your own server provides you with even greater freedom to run your world. Why not allow yourself ultimate freedom whilst enjoying a game dedicated to expanding your gaming freedom?

What Hosting Options Are Available?

Vanilla Minecraft

The most basic version that allows for multiplayer games, but no other modifications or changes.

Craftbukkit

The next step up that allows for multiplayer games and minimal levels of customisation. This is one of the least recommended versions to use.

Spigot

This hosts a greater number of plug-ins than CraftBukkit and allows for multiplayer. This is more recommended than CraftBukkit, but it is recommended that you utilise the enhanced performance of Paper to receive a better gaming experience.

Paper

This is the recommended version to run as it is most optimised. It provides for the greatest level of customisation whilst using the lowest number of resources to work.

Bungeecord

This version needs its own server to run but can allow you to connect multiple servers together at once.

Nukkit / Pocketmine

This was created to support Minecraft Pocket Edition players, however, any plug-ins used must be developed by Nukkit to work properly.

Geyser

A new JAR that can allow any Bedrock edition players to connect to an available Java Edition server.

Forge / Fabric

This version is typically used for Modpacks as it supports mods which add various functionalities to the game.
