Servercraft Wiki
Welcome to the Servercraft documentation. This wiki will guide you through setting up and managing your Minecraft server.
Important Note About Java
Servercraft automatically installs the required Java version in your server directory during setup. This ensures compatibility and prevents conflicts with other Java installations on your system.
The Java installation will be located in: [Your Server Folder]/jdk
System Requirements
- Windows 10/11 so far
- Minimum 2GB RAM (4GB recommended for modded servers)
- At least 600-700mb free disk space per world (including Java installation)
Java Installation Details
Automatic Java Management
Servercraft handles Java installation automatically:
- Downloads the correct Java version for your system
- Installs it locally in your server directory
- Configures the server to use this Java version
- Does not affect system-wide Java installations
Server Setup
Initial Configuration
When setting up your server, you'll need to configure these basic settings:
- Output folder for server files
- Minecraft world to import (optional)
- RAM allocation (minimum and maximum)
- Accept the Minecraft EULA
Console Management
Server Console
The console allows you to monitor and control your server in real-time:
[10:01:08] [User] joined the game
[10:01:15] [User]: Hello everyone!
[10:01:20] Server is running smoothly
