How to Make a MCPE or Java Server

Here is a tutorial on how to make a MCPE or Java minecraft server (I will use bedrock in this tutorial) (Only for I devices and computers NO android) NOTE: aternos does NOT support java & bedrock cross-platform servers and it may take a while for your server to load depending on how many slots you have chosen

Computer or I device (no android sorry)

Go to Aternos.org and click on the “play” button in the corner, then click on “add server” to add your new server, then, name your server and add its picture (optional) and your MODTD

You will need to choose your software before you start adding mods and plugins if you are using bedrock, choose pocketmine it will allow you to use plugins on your server. If you have noticed bedrock has only one choice for plugins whereas with Java there is many more, I would choose magma if I were you because it can use plugins and mods. NOTE:not all mods for Minecraft work for magma, like if you are interested in the zelda sword skills mod, it shows up but doesn’t allow you to use it

Now you will need to download mods for your server, if you are making a server for java, I recommend using magma it allows you to use plugins AND mods at the same time (not all mods work like the zelda sword skills mod) and if your using bedrock, pick pocketmine (elytra does not show up in inventory, its to bad that you can’t have the sensation of flying with elytra but there’s no changing it)

Now it’s time to finally customize your server options! Go to “options” and you can select how many slots, game mode, difficulty, and many more! (For bedrock) First, click on “add to my servers” and there should be a pop up saying “open in minecraft?” Then click on “open” and once it’s saved, then go back to Aternos and start your server! (For java) click on “start” and wait for it to say it’s done loading and then click on the “connect” button and enter the IP address in minecraft (don’t worry about the port)

Finally, you can start your server! Before you do make yourself an OP (operator) so you can use operator commands like /gamemode creative and others. First, click on add
