### Creating a Minecraft Server with TLauncher

#### Step 1: Install Java

Minecraft requires Java to run. You need to install the Java Development Kit (JDK).

1. **Download JDK**:

   - Visit the [Oracle JDK download page](https://www.oracle.com/java/technologies/javase-jdk16-downloads.html) and download the installer for your operating system.

   - Alternatively, you can use [OpenJDK](https://adoptopenjdk.net/) if you prefer an open-source version.

2. **Install JDK**:

   - Run the installer and follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation.

   - Ensure that the Java environment variables are correctly set up.

#### Step 2: Download the Minecraft Server Software

1. **Download the Server Jar**:

   - Visit the official Minecraft website's [server download page](https://www.minecraft.net/en-us/download/server).

   - Download the latest version of the server .jar file.

#### Step 3: Set Up the Server

1. **Create a Folder for Your Server**:

   - Create a new folder on your desktop or any location of your choice where you will store all the server files.

   - Name this folder something recognizable like "MinecraftServer".

2. **Move the Server Jar to the Folder**:

   - Move the downloaded server .jar file to the folder you created.

3. **Run the Server**:

   - Open a text editor (such as Notepad) and create a new file named `start.bat` (on Windows) or `start.sh` (on macOS/Linux).

   - Paste the following command into the file:

     **For Windows:**

     ```batch

     java -Xmx1024M -Xms1024M -jar server.jar nogui

     ```

     **For macOS/Linux:**

     ```bash

     #!/bin/bash

     java -Xmx1024M -Xms1024M -jar server.jar nogui

     ```

   - Save the file and place it in the same folder as your server .jar file.

   - Double-click `start.bat` (Windows) or run `start.sh` (macOS/Linux) to start the server for the first time. This will generate necessary configuration files.

4. **Agree to the EULA**:

   - Open the `eula.txt` file that was generated and change `eula=false` to `eula=true`.

   - Save and close the file.

5. **Run the Server Again**:

   - Double-click `start.bat` or run `start.sh` again to start the server.

#### Step 4: Configure the Server

1. **Server Properties**:

   - Open the `server.properties` file in a text editor.

   - Configure the server settings as desired. Key settings include:

     - `level-name`: Name of your world.

     - `max-players`: Maximum number of players.

     - `server-port`: Port the server will run on (default is 25565).

     - `white-list`: Enable/disable whitelisting.

2. **Port Forwarding**:

   - If you want to play with friends outside your local network, you need to set up port forwarding on your router.

   - Access your router settings (usually through a browser at an address like 192.168.1.1).

   - Forward the port 25565 to your internal IP address.

#### Step 5: Connecting with TLauncher

1. **Launch TLauncher**:

   - Open TLauncher and log in.

2. **Add Server**:

   - Go to the "Multiplayer" section.

   - Click on "Add Server".

   - Enter your server details:

     - `Server Name`: Any name you want.

     - `Server Address`: Your public IP address (if playing with friends) or `localhost` (if playing on the same machine).

3. **Join the Server**:

   - Select your server from the list and click "Join Server".

#### Step 6: Managing the Server

1. **Operator Commands**:

   - You can manage the server using various commands. To become an operator (admin), open the server console and type:

     ```console

     op YourMinecraftUsername

     ```

2. **Common Commands**:

   - `/gamemode`: Change the game mode.

   - `/whitelist`: Manage the whitelist.

   - `/ban` and `/pardon`: Manage banned players.

   - `/kick`: Kick a player from the server.

#### Step 7: Installing Mods (Optional)

1. **Install Forge**:

   - Download the Forge installer for the same version as your server.

   - Run the installer and select "Install server".

   - Move the generated files to your server folder.

2. **Add Mods**:

   - Download desired mods from a trusted source like CurseForge.

   - Place the mod files into the `mods` folder in your server directory.

3. **Run the Server with Mods**:

   - Start your server using the `start.bat` or `start.sh` file as before.
