This guide was created on CentOS 7 and Debian 9
It is assumed that you have git and java installed already.
Firstly create a new user and group to run the killing floor server
sudo useradd -m minecraft -p PASSWORD
Now, let’s create the group
sudo groupadd minecraft
And, let’s add our new minecraft user to the new minecraft group
sudo usermod -a -G minecraft minecraft
Now we can log in as the user and do all of the work in their home directory.
You will need to install Java on your system before you proceed.
mkdir buildtools
mkdir minecraft
cd buildtools
wget https://hub.spigotmc.org/jenkins/job/BuildTools/lastSuccessfulBuild/artifact/target/BuildTools.jar
git config --global --unset core.autocrlf
java -jar BuildTools.jar
cp spigot-*.jar ../minecraft/minecraft.jar
cd ../minecraft
Now, let’s run the server to generate the config files
java -Xms1G -Xmx1G -jar minecraft_server.jar nogui
Press CTRL+C to quit the server and now we can edit the server.properties to our liking
vi server.properties
You will also have to edit the eula.txt to agree to the license.
vi eula.txt
Change false to true!
Launch your server again when you are ready!
java -Xms1G -Xmx1G -jar minecraft_server.jar nogui
Don’t forget to open port 25565 & 25566 in your firewall and router!
