🎮 How to Open a Minecraft Server to Play with Friends

For Cobblemon Realms & Our Story Modpacks

🖥️ OPTION 1 – Host the server on your own PC (Free but needs a good setup)

You can use the official Server Pack I provide with each update of the modpack!

⚠️ Requirements:

• At least 8GB of free RAM (16GB total is ideal)

• Java 21 (required for Cobblemon Realms!)

• A stable internet connection

• Basic understanding of running .bat files

• Port forwarding if your friends play from outside your home network

---

📦 Step-by-step Setup Guide (included in the Server Pack)

🛠️ Step 1: Configure RAM (Optional, but recommended) Open the file user_jvm_args.txt and edit the memory values: -Xmx8G -Xms8G

• Xmx = Max RAM

• Xms = Min RAM ➡️ Don’t allocate all your RAM! Leave at least 2-4GB for your system.

---

📜 Step 2: First Server Launch & Accepting the EULA

1. Extract the server pack .zip to a folder (ex: CobblemonServer)

2. Run the run.bat file (double-click it)

3. It will stop and create a file called eula.txt

4. Open it and change: eula=false → eula=true

5. Save and close

---

🔄 Step 3: Launch the Server Again

• Run run.bat again

• The server will now fully start

• Wait for the world to generate

• You’re good to go!

🌍 You can now:

• Play locally by connecting to localhost

• Invite friends on the same Wi-Fi via your local IP

• Or configure port forwarding for online friends

---

🌐 OPTION 2 – Use a Game Server Host (Recommended)

If you don’t want to deal with technical setup, I recommend using a hosting service!

🟢 I'm partnered with Bisect Hosting, and you can install Cobblemon Realms in 1 click via their panel.

✅ What you get:

• Java 21 ready

• Modpack pre-installed

• Server always online

• Easy management panel

• Better connection for players across the world
