I taught you how to create a minecraft server, today we will do almost the same thing, but now we will use bukkit, which means that we will be able to install plugins on our server. I repeat, the process is eerily similar to installing a regular server, so don’t be surprised if you experience déjà vu.
Let's get started, first we need to download bukkit. It is absolutely free and can be downloaded from the official website. Here is the link where you can always download the most latest version:
After downloading, put it in an empty folder (for our convenience). Now we need to figure out the launch. If you have Windows, then create a new one in this folder text file, we write the following in it:
Java -Xms512M -Xmx1536M -jar craftbukkit-1.2.5-R1.0.jar
Attention, the number 512 is the minimum amount of RAM that will be allocated to the server. Number 1536 - maximum ram. And instead of “craftbukkit-1.2.5-R1.0.jar” there should be the name of your bukkit file. I’ll say right away that if you read the article in the future, the file you downloaded most likely has a different name, because with each update a new version number is written in its name.
Now let’s save our file with the extension “.bat”. For example, I saved it as “run.bat”.
When you run this file, our server will start up. Well, actually, let's launch it. A console window should appear with various messages. We wait until a message like this appears (I waited 25 seconds):
21:12:59 Done (24,943s)! For help, type "help" or "?"
Now we turn off the server by typing the “stop” command in the console. We turned the server on and off so that it generated a map and created the necessary folders and files.
Let's take a look at the files that appeared in our folder. Basically these are the same files that were in the standard server. I won’t describe them, because I did it on a standard server. In addition to them, there are 3 more exclusively bukkit files:
- help.yml - stores data about commands installed plugins And brief information to them. This file is generated automatically and does not need to be modified.
- permissions.yml - it specifies permissions for users. To be honest, I don’t know at all how to use it, since it was introduced relatively recently and out of habit we use third-party plugins that do their job well.
- bukkit.yml - basic server settings, now we’ll look at everything in detail.
So, meet bukkit.yml:
#Attention! All .yml files do not allow tabs, use spaces settings: #whether to allow edge: allow-end: true #whether to output system messages to the console if the server is overloaded: warn-on-overload: true #spawn radius. Affects the protection of the spawn territory: spawn-radius: 16 #path to the file with permissions: permissions-file: permissions.yml #if you have a folder /update in the /plugins folder, then at startup #fresh versions of plugins will be taken from it and replaced old: update-folder: update #this function, according to the off-wiki, is temporarily not working: ping-packet-limit: 100 #if you get stuck in blocks when entering the game, try changing this to true: use-exact-login- location: false #something like outputting debugging information about plugins, it’s better not to touch: plugin-profiling: false #time that must pass after leaving the server before you can log in again. #Indicated in milliseconds, that is, 1000 = 1 second. Protects against DDoS: connection-throttle: 4000 ticks-per: #means that animals will spawn every 400 ticks (1 tick = 1/20 second): animal-spawns: 400 #monsters will spawn every tick: monster-spawns: 1 #auto-updater, I’ve never used it, which I advise you to do auto-updater: #is the updater enabled: true #what to do if a bug is found in the current build? now you should "write to the console" and #"write opam": on-broken: - warn-console - warn-ops #what to do if you quit new version bukkita? now you should “write to the console” and # “write to op”: on-update: - warn-console - warn-ops #on which channel to look for updates ("rb", "beta" or "dev"). "rb" - Recommended #Build, that is, there are only proven, stable versions. "beta" - apparently #more experimental versions. "dev" - the newest, but raw and test versions, #which may have many bugs: preferred-channel: rb #where to look for updates. There is no need to change this parameter. Never: host: dl.bukkit.org #not a word about this item in the documentation: suggest-channels: true #some settings for the database, in the official documentation they are advised not to change: database: username: bukkit isolation: SERIALIZABLE driver: org .sqlite.JDBC password: walrus url: jdbc:sqlite:(DIR)(NAME).db
We also have a “plugins” folder. Typically, plugins are installed by copying the plugin's .jar file into this folder and restarting the server.
If you know English, then get the plugins from here:
Actually, that’s all, we set it up, launch it and play. The commands are the same as for a regular server, plus here are some new ones:
- /plugins— displays a list of plugins that are installed on the server
- /reload— if you want to install the plugin on the server without rebooting the server, then copy the plugin to a folder and run this command. It will reload all plugins. But I still don’t recommend using it, it’s not always stable.
- /say<сообщение> — write to chat on behalf of the server.
- /tell<ник> <сообщение> — send a private message
- /version— find out the bukkit server version
- /whitelist add<ник> — add a player to the whitelist
- /whitelist remove<ник> — remove a player from the whitelist
- /whitelist off- disable whitelist
- /whitelist on— enable whitelist
- /whitelist list— view whitelist
- /whitelist reload- reload whitelist from file
It is unlikely that anyone would think of opening a server without plugins, and therefore in this article I will talk about the Bukkit server mod, which allows you to easily connect and disable them if necessary.Bukkit is developed and supported by a large and quite active community, so it is updated and improved quite often. On their website, with sufficient knowledge of English, you can learn a lot useful information, and also communicate directly with the developer of bakkit and plugins.
You can always find the latest build recommended for installation follow this link at the very top of the list.
System requirements.
Minecraft Server(as well as the client) is very demanding on processor resources. Since currently the Minecraft server core can only use one computation thread, there will be no benefit from using multi-core processors. Some plugins can still be executed in separate threads, and Java itself is not averse to eating up processor resources for its own needs, so a second core will not hurt, but a larger number of cores will practically not bring any benefit to itself Minecraft. "Extra" cores, however, can be used for the needs of other processes running on the server.
But still, as a rule (if, in addition to Minecraft the server is not busy with anything) one should proceed from the following consideration: a dual-core processor is more high frequency more suitable for serversMinecraft, than four-(six-, twenty-) nuclear lower. Of course, it is worth taking into account the architecture of the processors and other important points... It’s better this way: the higher the performance of individual cores of the processor, the better it is suitable for our purpose.
Quantity RAM is also an important indicator. If you want to see more than 5-10 people online on your server, it is best to stock up on enough RAM and 64-bit operating system. 4GB of free memory is enough for 25 people and not very large quantities plugins.
The maximum online speed will also depend on the speed of your Internet connection: 10 megabits outgoing the speed is enough for a comfortable game of 40-50 people. If you have a website, a forum, and especially a dynamic map on the same channel, then an additional speed reserve will not hurt.So let's get started:
1. Download latest recommended build and move it to the folder where your server will live, renaming it to craftbukkit.jar.
2. Create a .bat file in this folder with the following content:@ECHO OFF SET BINDIR=%~dp0 CD /D "%BINDIR%" "%ProgramFiles%\Java\jre6\bin\java.exe" -Xincgc -Xmx1G -jar craftbukkit.jar PAUSE
3. If you don't have Java installed, now is the time to do this:
-download the distribution for 32-bit or 64-bit platforms
-install it (it is unlikely that there will be any difficulties with this).
4. If you want to see Cyrillic on your server:
-download the Russified font.txt
-open craftbukkit.jar in WinRar
-replace the existing font.txt with the one we just downloaded
-close WinRar
5. Launch previously prepared.bat file (let it be "start.bat"). After the console displays "Done (<какое-то количество>s)!", terminate bakkit using the command stop.You may notice that various interesting files have appeared in the server folder:
-banned-ips.txt-- list of banned IP addresses
-banned-players.txt-- list of banned player nicknames
-bukkit.yml-- file additional settings bakkita
-ops.txt-- list of server administrators
-server.log-- server log
-server.properties-- basic server settings file
-white-list.txt-- list of allowed nicknames with an active white list
And also the folders:
-plugins-- folder for placing plugins
-world-- main world folder (default name)
-world_nether-- lower world folder (aka Hell or Nether)First of all, let's look at server.properties:
Level-name=world - name of the main world allow-nether=true - turn on/off hell view-distance=10 - radius of the world (in chunks) sent to the player by the server spawn-monsters=true - on/off. mob spawn online-mode=true - on/off. official authorization spawn-animals=true - on/off. animals max-players=20 - maximum number of players server-ip= - server IP address pvp=true - on/off. PvP level-seed= - seed of the main world server-port=25565 - server port allow-flight=false - on/off. ability to fly white-list=false - on/off. whitelist authorization
Of all the settings on at the moment you can limit yourself to just correcting the value online-mode With " true"on" false", which will allow players who do not have licensed version client, log into your server. We'll look at the rest of the settings later.
So: change, save, run start.bat...
Launched? You can already connect to your server from the same computer by writing “localhost” instead of the server address.In order for players from outside to access your server, you need an external IP address and open port 25565 (if you did not change it in the settings). External IP is provided by almost any more or less normal provider, but as a rule for an additional fee in the region of 50-150 rubles per month. If you are behind a router, then you will need to “forward” the required port to the internal IP of your computer. It is also worth remembering that you need to allow incoming connections to this port in your antivirus/firewall.
Plugins
Plugins add the necessary functionality to your server, fix bugs, change mechanics, etc. To install a plugin, just place it in the server plugins folder and configure its settings file, if necessary (there are plugins that do without settings at all).
To work correctly with plugin settings files, you will need a good text editor. I recommend downloading the free one for these purposes. Notepad++(of course, unless you already have something similar).First of all, I will give one simple piece of advice: because... Minecraft server and it doesn’t work very quickly even on very good gland, if possible, do not install unnecessary plugins. If you don't want to make a hellishly laggy server, select them carefully and don't use so-called "all-in-one" plugins such as Essentials.
There are some types of plugins that you won't be able to do without in most cases. These are plugins for player authorization, automatic world saving and world limiting. It’s also worth adding a rights management plugin here, which makes it possible to manage players’ rights to use various features provided by other plugins.
Let's look at each category in more detail:
Authorization
The authorization plugin will be useful if your server will be visited not only by reliable friends from the local area, but also by any other players whose integrity you are not sure of, while the original authorization (valid only for official paid accounts) will be disabled. Simply put: in the vast majority of cases, you will need this plugin.
Depending on your needs, you need to choose one of the following plugins:
xAuth is the simplest
AuthMe
AuthDB - the most sophisticatedAutomatic saving
Such a plugin will be useful to everyone: normally, saves are made irregularly, which is why there is a high probability of losing some buildings in the last few hours if the server crashes, which is very unpleasant. As a suitable one, I would recommend a plugin with an unambiguous name AutoSave, which allows you to save on a schedule, and can also work in a separate thread, which will save players from general lag during the saving process.Limiting the size of the world
It will be little secret that the map in Minecraft is generated during the process of exploring it, and it can grow to truly gigantic proportions if it is not limited. Because Minecraft server does not have standard tools for this, you have to use plugins. Today there are two good plugins for these purposes: BorderGuard and WorldBorder. They have fairly similar functionality and performance, but the latter has more flexible setup and more convenient installation boundaries, which is why I recommend it.Separation of rights
There are practically no options to choose from in this category. really good plugin There’s only one, so let’s not reinvent the wheel and use Permissions. This plugin allows you to manage user rights, dividing them into groups ("beginner", "advanced builder", "VIP", "moderator" - as an example) and defining their access to certain commands and add-on functions. It is a kind of standard and is supported by the vast majority of plugins that require permissions. Recently, it has acquired MySQL support and separate rights settings for each world, as well as the ability to manage rights directly from the game.Read more about installing and configuring each plugin in the corresponding topics.
To be continued.

This guide will tell you how to install and run the Bukkit minecraft server.
To get started, you will need to complete three simple steps. Download java to your computer. Here you can download the version for .
Then, you need to download the Bukkit server file itself - which has a rar extension.
(downloads: 1276)
After you have downloaded everything necessary files. Place the Bukkit server jar file in the folder where your server is located. As you can see, everything is quite simple.
Running a server on Windows
You can download ready-made packages and unzip the required batch file into the folder with the Minecraft server. You can edit the things you need, for example, change the size of RAM allocated by the server (by default it is 1 GB). Also, after downloading, you can safely skip points 1-3 described above.
Next, you need to create a text document in the folder with the minecraft server; it will be the basis for launching your server. Warning: The text below, if you copy and paste it into your text document, should not contain any extra characters; if they appear there, delete them.
Launch code for 32 bit system
@ECHO OFF SET BINDIR=%~dp0 CD /D "%BINDIR%" java -Xincgc -Xmx1G -Dfile.encoding=UTF-8 -jar craftbukkit.jar
If this code doesn't work, try the next one.
"%ProgramFiles%Javajre7injava.exe" -Xmx1024M -jar craftbukkit.jar
-Xms1024M -Xmx1024M
This is the amount of RAM consumed by the server.
craftbukkit.jar
The server name, which is included in the file name. jar.
Having written down everything necessary, we save the resulting document with the extension - your name.bat. If using Windows you are unable to save with the required extension. Then use the totalcommander program. In it, press the keys ctrl+m and in the box labeled extension, enter - bat and click apply.
Now you can start the server with one click, just double-click on the file - your name.bat. If everything is done correctly, the Minecraft server window will open.
In order to stop the minecraft server, you just need to enter the usual command - stop.
Launch code for 64-bit system
Everything is the same as for 32-bit, only you need to write a different code, the one given below.
@echo off "%ProgramFiles(x86)%Javajre7injava.exe" -Xms1024M -Xmx1024M -jar -Dfile.encoding=UTF-8 craftbukkit.jar nogui
Running a server on Linux
This method is universal for all Linux systems. First, download java/ then we need to place the server file with the jar extension in a folder, for example, it will be /home/minecraft. Having done this, open the console, then applications/standard/terminal. For Ubuntudekstop, you can use the key combination - ctrl+alt+t.
Go to the server folder by entering the command - cd/home/minecraft/
Enter the command - nanostart.sh
And insert the following code:
#!/bin/sh BINDIR=$(dirname "$(readlink -fn "$0")") cd "$BINDIR" java -Xms1024M -Xmx1024M -jar craftbukkit.jar -o true
Now all that remains is to make the file executable by entering the command - chmod +x /home/minecraft/start.sh
cd /home/minecraft/ To start you need to enter - ./start.sh
If suddenly you can’t do it, try sequentially entering 1) cd / home/minecraft/ 2) sudo ./start.sh.
If everything worked out, repeat for the next launch:
To go to the directory, enter - cd /home/minecraft/ To start you need to enter - ./start.sh
To stop the server, enter stop in the console.
You will find the server settings in the file - serversproperties. You can find out what is responsible for what by looking under the spoiler.

Installing and configuring Bukkit plugins is not easy. Here we'll walk through the process of installing the basic plugins that are required to run a multiplayer server (not a Vanilla server). First, let's install the Essentials plugin. Open new tab in your web browser and go to http://dev.bukkit.org/server-mods/essentials/
Click "Download" on the right side of the page. On the page that opens, click “Download” again. Now open the downloaded ZIP file and copy the JAR files that are in the archive. Go to your server's files folder. In it, find the “plugins” folder; open this folder and paste the copied JAR files into it.
Return to the main server files folder. Locate and double-click the "run.bat" file to start the server. Several messages will appear on the screen with the word “Essentials” - this is the process of creating the necessary files in the “plugins” folder. Now enter the stop command to stop the server.
The Essentials plugin is now installed on the server. Go to the main server files folder and then locate and open the "server.properties" file. A pop-up window may appear asking you to find a program to run the file - in this case, simply click on the option to select one of the programs, then click OK and select Notepad.
You can configure your server in the “server.properties” file. For example, you can specify the maximum number of players and activate a “white list”, which will allow only those players you specify (in another file) to connect to the server. To disable or enable a specific setting, change the value from “true” (enable) to “false” (disable) and vice versa. For example, by default the "allow-nether" parameter, which activates the Nether, is set to "true". The nether world, as a rule, slows down the server. Therefore, change the value of this parameter from "true" to "false".
Another example is to change the default game mode. This mode is survival mode. Change the value from "0" to "1" so that the main mode becomes Creative mode.
Save the "server.properties" file and close it. Now double click on the "run.bat" file to start the server and then run Minecraft game. Log into Minecraft, go to the multiplayer server page, select "Connect" and enter "localhost" (without the quotes). You will connect to the created server. IN command line enter the command: op<имя вашей account>. This command will grant your account operator status, which gives access to almost all commands. In the world of Minecraft, select a beautiful area, press the "T" key and enter the command /setspawn
Now that you have established an entry point for new players, learn how to forward ports so that other players can connect to your server.
Bukkit is a server modification designed to simplify the creation of plugins. Bukkit is currently the most popular plugin management system. In this article we will look at a question that interests many Minecraft lovers: how to install a Bukkit server.
How to download the server distribution
Before installation, you need to download the Minecraft Bukkiit server from here: www.dl.bukkit.org. You can always find the latest version of Bukkit at this address.
Installing Bukkit on PC
If you do not already have the Java package installed on your computer, you will need to install it. You can download the package from here www.java.com.
In the same directory where we have the Bukkit distribution, create a .bat file with the following command:
java -Xms512M -Xmx1536M -jar [filename of the Bukkit distribution]
In this command, 512 and 1536 are the minimum and maximum sizes of RAM to allocate for the server. Depending on your computer configuration, these values may vary.
Executing the created .bat file starts the bukkit server, and a console window with system messages appears on the screen. At the first start, the server creates all the directories and files necessary for its operation; all this should take less than a minute.
Let's look at what files were created as a result of the first run:
- banned-ips.txt – players banned by ip;
- banned-players.txt – nicknames of banned players;
- ops.txt – list of administrators (ops);
- server.log – log where service information is recorded;
- server.properties – server settings;
- white-list.txt – players who are allowed access to the server;
- permissions.ym - permissions for players;
- help.yml - help on plugin commands;
- bukkit.yml - server settings.
In addition, the following directories appeared:
- Plugins - directory for plugins;
- World- - directory for placing the main world
- World_nether - directory for placing the lower world (Hell, Nether)
Configuring server settings
Let's take a closer look at what the settings are in the Minecraft Bukkit server. The parameters for each command are given numeric, text, or Boolean (true/false) values.
bukkit.yml file
- allow-end: true - permission to set the edge of the world;
- warn-on-overload: true - output a system message to the console when the server is overloaded;
- spawn-radius: 16 - spawn radius;
- permissions-file: permissions.yml - location of the permissions file;
- update-folder: update - the folder in which updates are stored;
- use-exact-login-location: true - parameter that controls login to the game;
- plugin-profiling: false - affects the output of debugging information;
- connection-throttle: 4000 - time after logging out, after which you can log into the server again;
- ticks-per: time in ticks after which they will spawn;
- animal-spawns: 400 - animals;
- monster-spawns: 1 – monsters;
- enabled: true - whether automatic updating is enabled;
- on-broken: - actions when a bug is detected;
- warn-ops - write to the administrator;
- on-update: - actions when an update is detected (same options as above):
- warn-console - write to the console;
- warn-ops write to administrator;
- preferred-channel: rb - channel through which updates are searched;
- host: dl.bukkit.org - update location.
server.properties file

- level-seed= – level seed;
- max-build-height=256 – maximum height for buildings (from 64 to 256);
- spawn-npcs=true - whether spawning of villagers is allowed;
- white-list=true – white list;
- spawn-animals=true – permission to spawn animals;
- online-mode=true - true for licensed ones, false - for pirated ones;
- pvp=true – PVP permission;
- difficulty=1 - game difficulty (from 0 to 3);
- gamemode=0 – game mode, 0/1 – survival/creative;
- max-players=20 – maximum number of players on the server;
