How to Host a Valhelsia 3 Server

Hello Dev, welcome to our guide on how to host a Valhelsia 3 server. In this article, we will give you a step-by-step guide on how to create your own server, set it up, and invite your friends to play with you. We will cover everything from downloading the necessary files, to configuring the server settings, and troubleshooting common issues. Let’s get started!

Step 1: Downloading the Server Files

The first step in hosting a Valhelsia 3 server is to download the server files. You can download the server files from the official Valhelsia website, or from a third-party hosting provider. We recommend using the official website to ensure that you have the latest version of the files. Once you have downloaded the files, extract them to a location on your computer.

Where to Download the Server Files

You can download the server files from the official Valhelsia website at https://valhelsia.net/. Look for the “Download Server” button on the homepage to download the latest version of the files. You can also find the server files on third-party hosting providers such as Apex Minecraft Hosting or Shockbyte.

Extracting the Server Files

Once you have downloaded the server files, extract them to a location on your computer using a program such as WinRAR or 7-Zip. Make sure to extract all of the files to the same folder, as they will need to be together for the server to run properly.

Understanding the Server Files

Before we move on to the next step, it’s important to understand what each of the server files does. Here is a brief overview:

Step 2: Configuring the Server Settings

Now that you have downloaded and extracted the server files, it’s time to configure the server settings. This includes setting up the server properties, creating a new world, and configuring the mods you want to use. Let’s go through each step in detail.

Setting Up Server Properties

The first thing you need to do is set up the server properties. These are the settings that control how the server runs and what players can do on the server. To do this, open the server.properties file with a text editor such as Notepad.

There are many settings in this file, but here are some of the most important ones:

Creating a New World

Once you have set up the server properties, it’s time to create a new world. To do this, run the server.jar file. This will create a new world with the default settings. You can then customize the world settings by editing the worldgen_settings.json file in the config folder.

Configuring Mods

The final step in configuring the server settings is to configure the mods you want to use. To do this, simply drag and drop the mods you want to use into the mods folder. Make sure to use the same version of the mods as the version of Valhelsia 3 you are using.

Step 3: Running the Server

Now that you have configured the server settings, it’s time to run the server. To do this, simply run the start.bat file. This will start the server with the settings you have configured. You can then connect to the server using your Minecraft client by entering the server IP address and port number.

Troubleshooting Common Issues

If you encounter any issues while running the server, here are some common solutions:
