About this video: If you want to play Minecraft 1.20.6 with your friends, this is the perfect video for you! We go over every step of how to make a Minecraft server in 1.20.6. From where to download all of the files that a Minecraft 1.20.6 server requires to how to create a Minecraft server in 1.20.6 to even how to allow your friends to join your server and play Minecraft with them. So, without any more delay, here is how to start a server in Minecraft 1.20.6.

To get started, we will need to download the Minecraft 1.20.6 server files. You can find a link in the description above to download the Minecraft server files. That link will actually take you to our complete text guide on creating a Minecraft server.

Once you were there, you will find a “Download Minecraft” button. This will take you to the official download page on minecraft.net to download the Minecraft server files for 1.20.6.

On this page, what you want to do is find the minecraft_server_1.20.6.jar. It will be a green link, and when you click it, it will start downloading the server.jar for Minecraft 1.20.6.

After you have the server files downloaded, create a new “Minecraft 1.20.6 Server” folder on your desktop. This is where all of your Minecraft server files will live. Then, move the server.jar file you downloaded into this new Minecraft server folder.

At this point, it’s important to note that you need Java 21 for 1.20.6 Minecraft servers this is because Minecraft recently updated to add this version as the required version to start the Minecraft server.jar. You can find links in the description above to download Java 21 and get it installed.

With the correct version of Java installed, double-click on the server.jar file. When you do this, it will create a bunch of different files or folders one of which will be called eula.txt. Open the eula.txt file with notepad, and in it you will see eula=false. Change this to eula=true and save the file. This is assuming you agreed to the Minecraft server EULA.

After you’ve agreed to the eula, double-click on the server.jar file again. When you do, it will go ahead and create your Minecraft server, generating all the files and folders, including your Minecraft server’s world, and your server will go online.

In order for your friends to join the server, you will need to port forward. Specifically, you’ll need to port forward the port 25565 on the TCP and UDP protocols. We go over this in-depth in the video. After you have port forwarded, your friends will join your server using your public IP.

You can find a link in the description above that will take you to our website where you can see your public IP. You can click to copy this and send it to your friends to join your Minecraft server in 1.20.6.
