Minecraft这是一款沙盒游戏，玩家可以再三维世界里用方块建造建筑物，中文译为我的世界。
听说这款游戏热度特别高，可以自搭私服，拉伙伴一起玩。就用现成的VPS尝试搭建一个server.

# CentOS
yum -y install java-1.6.0-openjdk

# Debian:
sudo apt-get install python-software-properties
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ferramroberto/java
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jdk

Install Screen

Because we can’t keep connection long time by SSH, so we need Screen tool to keep touch with the Minecraft server.

Download Server client

cd / 
mkdir Minecraft 
cd Minecraft 
wget http://s3.amazonaws.com/Minecraft.Download/versions/1.8.7/minecraft_server.1.8.7.jar

Configure Server

Xmx is mean the max used memory, Xms is mean the min used memory, so the min memory is better > 256M, because is hard to start server when the value is below 256M.

screen -S Minecraft
cd /Minecraft
java -Xmx768M -Xms256M -jar minecraft_server.1.8.7.jar nogui
#java -Xmx256M -Xms256M -jar minecraft_server.1.8.7.jar nogui

How to use

input ip + 25565

PS. 用vps玩了两下server就挂了，低配的server不适合自建私服。
