MInecraft Server

[cakez]

So I"m making a minecraft server for a friedn of mine and when I run the start.bat file it closes and the server doesn't run.I'm guessing some of you guys know a thing or two about java so here's what's in the bat file:java -Xms1G -Xmx1G -jar minecraft_server.1.8.8 (1).jar.Can anyone help me

 

I had no idea where to put this so to all staff fell free to move this post.

Essentially all that's doing is allocating 1GB of ram.

[Enderman]

press enter in the batch file and on a new line type PAUSE

run the file again

tell me what it says

[Clanscorpia]

Probably should move this to PC gaming, they'll probably know more

press enter in the batch file and on a new line type PAUSE

This is what you do.

Use this (but edit the file location and name so that it's correct):

@[member=Echo] offjava -Xms1024M -Xmx1024M -jar "C:\Users\owner\Desktop\Minecraft Server\minecraft_server.1.8.8.exe" noguiPause

Also, check whether you have Jave 32bit or 64bit (you most likely have 32bit) and if you have 64bit, you may have to change some of it.

Here is where it tells you how to create a batch file to start the MC server.

And NEVER use a gui on a Minecraft server. Just causes unneeded overhead

How much RAM do you have? if you have more than 4GB, I highly recommend you give it more.

[AverageHardware]

Maybe some useful tips for you. In order to host a Minecraft server off of your computer, or a computer on your local network and have people on other networks be able to connect, you need to port forward on your router. If your friend is at his house, and you are at yours, you must port forward, or use a utility like Hamachi to connect. If your parents locked the router, gg.

 

1GB should be fine for a basic vanilla server, but if you want plugins, you'll need bukkit. You'll also need more RAM if you want plugins.

press enter in the batch file and on a new line type PAUSE

run the file again

tell me what it says

it says press any key to continue

[Enderman]

it says press any key to continue

before that what does it say

 

you added the pause at the end of the batch file, right? not at the start

After I press a key it just closes

yeah, and befor the thing it says ERROR: Unable to access jarfile minecraft_server.1.8.8(1).jar

well that means you dont have the correct name for the server file...

 

find where the server.jar is, right click, properties, copy the file location

 

then in your batch file instead of writing minecraft_server.1.8.8(1).jar put

"thefilelocation/thefilename.jar"

 

make sure that you use a forward slash, and that the name of the file is correct

also include the quotes

 

then save and try again,see if ti finds the file this time

by quotes do you mean put quoutes around the file location?
