Step 1: Choose Your Server Location

The first step in hosting your FTB Infinity Evolved server is deciding where to host it. There are two options for hosting your server:

Option 1: Host Your Server at Home

If you have a powerful computer and a fast internet connection, you can host your server at home. However, hosting at home means that you will need to dedicate a computer to run the server 24/7. This computer must also have enough RAM to handle running the server and playing the game simultaneously.

Option 2: Rent a Server

If you don’t have a powerful computer or don’t want to dedicate a computer to run your server, you can rent a server from a hosting company. This option is more expensive, but it also means that you don’t have to worry about the maintenance and upkeep of a physical server.

Step 2: Choose Your Server Type

After deciding on the location of your server, the next step is to choose the type of server you want to use. There are two types of servers for hosting FTB Infinity Evolved:

Option 1: Bukkit Server

Bukkit is a server type that allows for plugins and mods to be run on your server. This gives you more customization options and allows for a more tailored gaming experience. However, Bukkit servers can be more complicated to set up and maintain.

Option 2: Vanilla Server

A Vanilla server is a basic Minecraft server without any additional plugins or mods. This option is simpler to set up and maintain but does not offer as much customization as a Bukkit server.

Step 3: Install Java

Before you can install and run FTB Infinity Evolved server, you need to install Java. You can download the latest version of Java from the official website.

Step 4: Download and Install FTB Infinity Evolved Server Files

After installing Java, you can download the FTB Infinity Evolved server files. You can do this by going to the FTB website and downloading the server files for your desired version of Minecraft.

After downloading the server files, extract them to a folder on your computer. You should now see a folder containing the server files.

Step 5: Configure Server Settings

Before running your server, you need to configure the server settings. The most important settings to configure are:

Server Name

Choose a name for your server. This will be the public name that players see when they connect to your server.

Maximum Players

Choose the maximum number of players that can be on your server at once.

Difficulty

Choose the difficulty level of your server. This can be set to peaceful, easy, normal, or hard.

World Type

Choose the type of world that your server will use. This can be set to default, flat, or large biomes.

Step 6: Port Forwarding

Port forwarding is necessary for players to be able to connect to your server from outside your network. To port forward your server, you need to open your router’s settings and create a new rule for your server’s port. The default port for FTB Infinity Evolved is 25565.

Instructions for port forwarding may vary depending on your router. You can find instructions for your specific router by searching online.

Step 7: Run the Server

After configuring your server settings and port forwarding, you are ready to run your server. To run your server, navigate to the folder containing your server files and run the server start.bat file.

Your server is now live and ready for players to connect!
