Can you make a free minecraft server and what do you need for it?

Pe

Aternos.org

Fe

Aternos offers a free hosting plan. If you have a PC, you can also host on it.

De

Previously, a vanilla server was made and the IP address was given via hamachi

an

Should it run on your PC or be hosted somewhere?

If it is enough for you to host it on the Internet, I recommend http://Aternos.org

an

Or simply PortForward xD

Hamachi was only for the kiddies who didn't get the Wi-Fi admin password from their dad.

It's safe

Pe

These are servers that you have to start every time you want to play. If there's no player on it, it switches itself off. It is also limited in performance but it is enough

Dr

Thank you very much

an

Yes, it is safe and I can only recommend it.

Gu

Yes.

You need

A PC on which Java is installed
An internet connection

The server can be downloaded free of charge https://www.minecraft.net/...ad/server/. Put the JAR file in an empty folder and run it. A file "eula.txt" is then created. Open it and replace "false" with "true" to agree to the End User License Agreement. Then the server can be started.

So that others can access the server, you may have to Add an exception to your PC's firewall and router (port 25565, over TCP / UDP). More details on this https://minecraft.gamepedia.com/...p_a_server.
