No problem. Whether you just want to build in peace with friends or plan a large mod world - you'll find everything you need to know here. Without technical jargon. Without marketing blah-blah. Just what really counts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Why have your own server at all?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sure, there are public servers. But there you have no influence on rules, mods or who plays. Having your own server means: full control. You decide whether PvP is allowed, how many players take part, which plugins are running and whether cheating is allowed or not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Whether for a small creative project or a survival server with a community - a dedicated server is often the better choice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Create a Minecraft server: The three ways<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are three ways in which you can set up your server:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Free of charge via third-party providers (e.g. Aternos)<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Host it yourself at home<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Renting from a provider<br><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Each option has advantages and disadvantages. It depends on what you need and what you can do without.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Free is not always good<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes, you can create a minecraft server for free. Providers like Aternos or Minehut make it easy - no setup, no costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But: The servers fall asleep when nobody is playing. You have limited performance. Mods or plugins? Only to a limited extent. And you have to live with advertising. That's okay for spontaneous rounds with friends. Not so much for longer games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The happy medium: rent a server<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you don't want any technical hassle, but want more than a free server, then renting is the best solution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At<a href=\"https:\/\/godlike.host\/de\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> <strong>minecraft server hosting<\/strong><\/a> you get exactly that: a stable server with good performance that you can set up quickly. RAM, slots, mod support - everything is selectable. No port forwarding, no configuration hell.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So you can get started straight away - alone or with friends. And if something doesn't work, the support team will help you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Or do it yourself: host a server at home<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can also use your own PC to run the server. That means:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>You download the server files from Mojang or Spigot<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Set everything via config files<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Open ports on the router<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Keep your computer online<br><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is the tinker variant. No running costs, but also no security if something crashes. You have to take care of backups, updates and security yourself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It's only worth it if you're really into technology and know what you're doing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>minecraft server rental comparison - what you should look out for<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you decide to rent, take a close look at the providers. Not everyone delivers what they promise. Here is a brief overview of what is important:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Important points in the comparison:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>RAM<\/strong>: The more mods and players, the more RAM you need. 2 GB is the minimum, 4-8 GB is better.<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Slots<\/strong>10 slots are sufficient for small groups. For larger communities, 20+ is better.<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Mod\/plugin support<\/strong>Not every provider allows Forge, Fabric or Bukkit.<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Backups<\/strong>Automatic backups are worth their weight in gold.<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Location of the server<\/strong>For German players \u2192 Select server in Europe.<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Support<\/strong>: If something goes wrong, you don't want to wait 3 days for help.<br><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A good provider will show you all this transparently. Prices from around \u20ac4-10\/month are realistic for solid performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Step-by-step: How to set up your server<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Whether rented or self-hosted - the basic principle is similar. Here is a quick schedule:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Choose the Minecraft version<\/strong> (Vanilla, Paper, Spigot, Forge...)<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Download the appropriate server file<\/strong><strong><br><\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Create a folder and put the file there<\/strong><strong><br><\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Start the server once so that the configs are generated<\/strong><strong><br><\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Yoke <\/strong><strong>server.properties<\/strong><strong> on<\/strong> - World name, gamemode, PvP etc.<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Activate whitelist?<\/strong> Decide who can join<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Install mods or plugins<\/strong>if desired<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Share IP address or set up domain<\/strong><strong><br><\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Done - you're ready to go<\/strong><strong><br><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Renting eliminates many of these steps - it's quicker.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Host your own Minecraft server: advantages and disadvantages<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td><strong>Advantage<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Disadvantage<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>No monthly costs<\/td><td>High power consumption<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Full control<\/td><td>Complicated setup<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Learning by trial and error<\/td><td>Internet connection must be stable<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>No third-party providers<\/td><td>Your IP is publicly visible<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you have a lot of time and like crafting, this is something for you. Not for everyday use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Why plugins and mods are important<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Vanilla is nice. But it only gets really exciting with mods and plugins. New biomes, economic systems, teleport, admin tools - things often don't last long without them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So make sure that your provider supports this - or you'll have to do it yourself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Conclusion: What's best for you?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It depends. Really.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you're just building with friends, try a free provider first.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you're not interested in technology and just want everything to work: Rent a server. For example via Godlike.host. You can get started right away without any headaches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Do you want to do everything yourself, have an old PC and are tech-savvy? Then host it yourself - but be honest with yourself about whether it's worth the effort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Still unsure? Ask the community<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you still don't know which way is best for you, check out Reddit. In this thread, people honestly discuss which providers are good and where there are problems:<a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/MinecraftDe\/comments\/1krj6zo\/minecraft_server_mieten_auf_der_suche_nach\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> <strong>Buy German Minecraft servers<\/strong><\/a> You'll find opinions, not advertising copy.<strong>In short:<\/strong> Creating a Minecraft server is not rocket science. The choice is yours - free, homemade or rented. The only important thing is that it suits you.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Du willst einen eigenen Minecraft Server erstellen, wei\u00dft aber nicht, wo du anfangen sollst?
