Server Creation
Create your first Minecraft server using MC-Vector.
Creating a Minecraft server with MC-Vector takes under a minute. The app does all the heavy lifting — downloading the server software, accepting the EULA, and building the initial directory structure — automatically.
Step-by-Step
- Open MC-Vector.
- Click "+ Add Server" button.
- Fill in the server details:
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Server Name | Any name you like (e.g. My Survival World) |
| Software | Choose a server type (Vanilla, Paper, Fabric, Forge, etc.) |
| Version | The Minecraft version to run (e.g. 1.21.4) |
| Port | Network port — default 25565 |
| Memory Usage | RAM allocated to the server (e.g. 2 GB) |
- Click Create.
What MC-Vector does automatically
- Creates a dedicated folder for the server.
- Downloads the correct
.jarfrom official sources (Mojang API, PaperMC API, etc.). - Generates
eula.txtand accepts the EULA on your behalf. - Creates a default
server.properties.
Starting the Server
After creation the server appears in the server list on the left.
- Click on your server to open its control panel.
- Click Start.
- Watch the boot logs in the Console tab — when you see
Done!the server is ready.
Connect to your server from Minecraft using localhost (or 127.0.0.1) as the address.
Next Steps
- Manage your server in the Server Lifecycle guide.
- Invite friends via ngrok Tunnel — no port forwarding needed.
