: Run the server file again. This time, it will generate the world and configuration files. 3. Core Server Configuration

Before running any files, ensure your environment is ready to handle the server software.

: Double-click the server.jar file (or a provided .bat or .sh script) within your new folder.

: Change the line eula=false to eula=true and save the file.

: Do not run the zip contents directly from your "Downloads" folder. Create a new folder on your desktop (e.g., "Minecraft Server") and extract the contents of Setup server.zip there to keep generated files organized. 2. Initial Execution & EULA Agreement

: Most modern servers require at least Java 21 or 25 to run correctly. You can verify your version by typing java -version in a command prompt.
