How to Set Up a Minecraft Server for Friends (Survival & Creative)

The Joy of Multiplayer

Playing Minecraft is 10x better with friends. Whether you want to build a shared empire in Survival or run wild with infinite blocks in Creative, setting up your own space is the first step.

Step 1: Choosing Your Path

Before you start, decide what kind of world you want:

• Survival: Best for teamwork, exploration, and the thrill of gathering resources.
• Creative: Best for massive build projects and testing redstone designs.

Step 2: One-Click Setup on Orihost

Don't worry about complex server files. On Orihost Minecraft Hosting, we handle the heavy lifting:

1. Choose Your Plan: The Dirt Plan is perfect for a small group of friends.
2. Select Your Version: We recommend 1.21+ for the latest features.
3. Set Your Mode: In the server.properties file, set gamemode=creative or gamemode=survival.

Step 3: Inviting Your Friends

To keep your world private and safe:

1. The Whitelist: Use /whitelist on to ensure only approved players can join.
2. Add Players: Use /whitelist add [PlayerName] for each friend.
3. Share Your IP: Send them the IP:PORT provided in your dashboard!
