Make sure your Java version is Java 8 or newer.
Open a terminal session:
Change Directory to Desktop
cd home/pi/Desktop or cd Desktop
Make a new directory (Folder) called minecraft_server
mkdir minecraft_server Change to the directory cd minecraft_server
Use the touch command to create a shell script file in that directory name start.sh
touch start.sh
Enable the Read/Write attributes with Chmod command
chmod +x start.sh
Modify the start.sh file using nano.
sudo nano start.sh
Add the following 2 lines and save file:
cd /home/pi/Desktop/minecraft_server/ java -Xmx1024M -Xmx2000M -XX:+UseConcMarkSweepGC -jar spigot.jar nogui Use the Control key with the letter o to save content. Use the Control key with the letter x to close the file.
Now lets download the Spigot Server File from the getbukkit.org download.
Open Spigot Server Download using the following URL:
https://getbukkit.org/download/spigot
Select the Spigot version needed for your server. I will use version 1.16.5 for this example
Once selected click Download for that version. Do not click Create a Server.
In the Box that says You're about to download: click on the version link. Spigot 1.16.5.jar
Now move the theSpigot 1.16.5.jar from the Downloads directory(Folder) to the minecraft_Server directory (Folder).
cd /home/pi/Downloads cp /home/pi/Downloads/spigot-1.16.5.jar /home/pi/Desktop/minecraft_server/*.*
