Introduction:
Minecraft is a widely popular sandbox game that encourages creativity, problem-solving, and teamwork. Due to its immense popularity, many players want to host their own servers, allowing them to invite friends and other players from around the world. One type of Minecraft server is a “cracked” server, which allows players using non-premium (unofficial) Minecraft accounts to join. This article will provide you with a step-by-step guide on how to set up your own cracked Minecraft server.
Step 1: Download and Install the Server Software
First, you need to download the server software from the official Minecraft website. Visit https://www.minecraft.net/en-us/download/server and download the latest version of the Minecraft server.
Step 2: Create a New Server Folder
Now that you’ve downloaded the server software, create a new folder named “Minecraft Server” in your desired location on your computer. Move the downloaded server software (minecraft_server.X.X.jar) into this newly created folder.
Step 3: Configure the Server
In order to run a cracked Minecraft server, modifications must be made to the server.properties file. In your “Minecraft Server” folder, create a new text document and rename it to “server.properties”. Open the file in a text editor such as Notepad or TextEdit and insert the following lines:
enable-query=true
server-port=25565
online-mode=false
Make sure “online-mode” is set to false since this is what allows cracked clients to connect. Save and close the file.
Step 4: Launching Your Server
After setting up your server.properties file, double-click on minecraft_server.X.X.jar to start the server. A window will open showing you any logs or errors. The first time you run your server, it may take some time as it generates files and structures.
If all goes well, your cracked Minecraft server is now up and running. Close this window to shut down the server.
Step 5: Port Forwarding
To allow others to connect to your server, you need to set up port forwarding on your router. This process varies depending on the router’s brand and model. Detailed instructions can be found online for most routers. The default Minecraft server port is 25565, which is needed for accurate port forwarding.
Step 6: Share Your Server IP Address
With your server running and ports forwarded, it’s time to invite players to join your cracked Minecraft world. To provide them with your server IP address, first, determine your public IP address by visiting http://www.whatismyip.com/.
Share this public IP address with friends or other players who want to join your server. They will enter this address in the “Server Address” field when adding a new server in their Minecraft client’s Multiplayer menu.
Conclusion:
By following this guide, you have successfully created a cracked Minecraft server that allows players with non-premium accounts to join. Remember to always monitor your server for any potential issues and ensure a friendly environment for all users. Have fun crafting, exploring, and building together!
