First you'll need to create a folder called 'MinecraftServer' or something that can tell you this will be your Minecraft server folder. Now from here you can either download the.exe file or the.jar file.exe is easier and I don't really know the difference between them, but if for some reason your just a.jar guy, then Im sorry but you can find another tutorial for the jar file. First, go to and under Multiplayer Server, click on minecraftserver1.7.10.exe. That will start the download.

To do that, go to After that, tell some friends your ip address, and they are ready to join you.
NOTE: You will need to keep the file running while playing on your server or if you are going to leave your server on. Downloading Bukkit is very similar to Vanilla.

Rename the file to 'craftbukkit.jar'.
Open Notepad and paste in: @ECHO OFF SET BINDIR=%dp0 CD /D '%BINDIR%' java -Xmx1G -Xms1G -jar craftbukkit.jar PAUSE Look at the picture above to see how it will really look.

Then drag in the startserver.command into the window and press enter.
Open the file and the worlds and stuff will load up. Note: You need to keep the file running to play on your server or intend to keep it on. Again make a folder for your Minecraft Server.
