Course Description

This is the How to Build a Minecraft Server course..

This course is designed for:

All skill levels

Learners who would like to know what it takes and how to install, manage, and maintain a Minecraft Server of their own in Windows or Linux operating systems.
Learners with children and concerns for their safety when playing Minecraft.

This course introduces users to the steps necessary to download, install, configure, run, and manage their own Minecraft server. After reviewing server operating system and hardware requirements and even a how to for creating a VMware virtualized option (in case suitable spare hardware doesn't exist), students will be guided with a step by step approach detailing:

how to download
how to install Minecraft server
how to install Java (required to run Minecraft server)
how to configure Minecraft server

how to connect the Minecraft game clients to the server

opening up your network to allow external players from outside of your house
things to consider when deciding to leave your Minecraft server up full time including recommendations to keep the Minecraft server more secure
basic troubleshooting for your Minecraft server

Each lecture provides you with step by step process and commands (where applicable) to complete the installation and management of your Minecraft server.

If you view this course from end to end, it will take you over 4 hours to complete across more than 30 lectures. If you intended to build your Minecraft server by following along, it could add another 1-2 hours to completing this course depending on your skill level.

This course has been designed so that you can follow along step by step installing your own Minecraft server in Windows or Linux operating systems.

You should take this course if you have a desire to download, install, operate, and manage your own Minecraft server in Windows or Linux operating systems (sorry, Windows Server and Mac operating systems are not provided in this course, though Windows concepts for installing, managing, and running Java as well as setting a static IP should be the same or very similar to the configurations necessary in a Windows server environment). Parents concerned about letting their children play on public Minecraft servers where anyone can play, and use inappropriate language, bully, stalk, or otherwise unnecessarily harass or follow your children will also benefit from this class by learning to build a Minecraft server they can control to help keep their kids safe.

Don't forget, the software to run your own Minecraft server is free of charge. You don't have to pay to download or run your own Minecraft server.

Early in my career, I worked for 2 years as a software developer with client server applications using Microsoft Access and VBA, Visual Basic, and SQL Server.

For the past 14 years, I have been working in a Deployment and Infrastructure Support role. Some of the software technologies include Websphere, Weblogic, IIS, Cold Fusion, SQL Server, JBOSS, and TWS. I work on projects that handle deployments, tier 1 and 2 support, and server lease rolls. During the first seven years in the Deployment and Infrastructure Support role, I also spent time as a Configuration Manager helping to lead efforts in developing repeatable software deployment processes and putting quality gates in place for software throughout the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) using tools like TRUEchange, VSS, ChangeMan, CVS, and SVN. I have experience working on UNIX (HP, IBM, Oracle), Linux, OpenVMS, Windows 3.1 through Windows 10, and Windows NT 3.x, 4,x, Windows 2000, Windows Server 2003, 2008, and 2012 operating systems.

I have been working with computer hardware for the past 34 years and starting working on PC hardware 17 years ago. Working different jobs, I've gained experience working on desktops, laptops, server hardware, and some networking.

I have experience with Cisco CCNA, CCNP, and Microsoft MCSE course work, and I am currently a certified Brocade vRouter Engineer.
