[Tutorial] Minecraft Servers: Mods! [4/4]

[Quinn]

I believe that this will be the last tutorial in this series, unless something specific is requested. If you want to run a completely vanilla (stock) server, this page is probably not for you.

--

For Minecraft servers, there are multiple options that fit (mainly) into two categories; Server Modifications and Server Wrappers

 

In this tutorial, I will cover how to install bukkit, the largest beta server mod out there.

Bukkit, in a simple sense, provides a basis for other mods, called "plugins" to run. I use it, and so do many others.

 

1. Getting Bukkit

To get bukkit, go to their website, and look to the right of the page. There you will find "Recommended Builds", click on the one for your minecraft version.

After you click on that, it will bring you to a page like this:

Click on the outlined object, and it will download the file (alternately you can use wget, if you know how, I'm not going to explain it)

 

2. Install

Well, this is an easy step! Simply upload the file you just downloaded (rename it to something shorter if you like) to the same directory as your minecraft_server.jar.

Now, you must change your script that you use to launch the server. You should just be able to replace "minecraft_server.jar" with "craftbukkit-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar" (or whatever you renamed it to)

However, if that doesn't work, refer to the bukkit site.

 

3. kso it b installed, wut do i doz nows????!??!?!?!?!??!?111111111

Whoa, easy there, don't hurt yourself using proper English! What you do now, is start the server with your freshly modified script, let it load, then stop it again. The "plugins" folder should now exist, along with some other files.

4. Getting some mods!!

This has got to be the easiest step ever... just go to Bukkit's plugin list!

 

5. Installing those plugins

So you found some plugins you like? If you downloaded a .zip or .rar, decompress them, and upload the contents to your plugins folder. If you downloaded a .jar, upload the file to your plugins folder.

(NOTE: The server must be restarted before new plugins are loaded. If your server has been off for this tutorial, then simply start it when done. If not, restart it.)
