What is a Minecraft VPS?
A VPS (short for virtual private server) is a fully-isolated virtual environment based on a bare-metal server. Each VPS is allocated a set portion of the server’s physical resources, and is functionally equivalent to a dedicated server, but with a much lower price tag. It may help to think of it as renting a flat, rather than a whole house. This definition was taken from www.ovhcloud.c...

but it gives an error that says: Unable to locate package openjdk-17-jre-headless, i think u better use java 16 bc ubuntu 20 doesnt support java 17 (i have ubuntu 20)

[@Websplaining]

I recommend installing the latest release version of Java on the latest ubuntu release. As of today, 17th June 2021 the latest Ubuntu release is 21.04. This version of Ubuntu OS supports Java 17 which is the latest release as of 17th June 2021. However, if you have a lower version of Ubuntu install the latest java release for that version. The java you install must be equal to or above Java 17.

[@PolishPenguinDev]

you have to cd minecraft, then do screen -r. If it says that there is no screen to resume, then do java -Xmx1024M -Xms1024M -jar server.jar nogui to start it again. If you stop the server, you will have to write the command again, If its still running, just do screen -r.

I mean it should be possible. Just make normal dedicated server for bedrock edition and then place it in your VPS and run it same as this. Of course not exactly but it should be simular to this.

(make sure its java 16, java 14 is no longer supported by the latest version of minecraft) also make sure you did sudo apt-get update and sudo apt-get upgrade.

also java 17 is out now

[@DSDitectivesGamingTech]

how to change version of game

[@Websplaining]

Do you mean the server or your launcher? If you meant the server version, you need to replace the latest server.jar file with an older server.jar and start your server once again.

[@talyongaming]

is this same as dedicated server?

[@Websplaining]

Hi Han, no, A dedicated server is server with all it's resources exclusively to you. The setup for a dedicated server is exactly the same as a VPS. The difference is the price and the performance. I hope that answers your question!

Can i add multiple servers to my vps?

Yup, you can add as many as you want. You may limited on how many you can run simultaneously as that depends on your server specs.

How do i instal plugins as its a factions server

[@PolishPenguinDev]

If you need plugins i'm pretty sure you need spigot/papermc/bukkit but I'm not sure, I'm also trying to install plugins. Someone said you can create a plugins folder and put a jar in there, but I didn't test that out yet.

[@OVERSITE]

"Permission Denied". help fpt

[@PolishPenguinDev]

Make sure your logged in as root, If not make sure your account is in the sudo group. To test this out, write sudo before the command, and It should ask you for your password, one entered, the command should work. Also what is "fpt" do you mean "sftp"? If so, you must use sftp on port 22, not ftp on port 21. Ftp does not work with this tutorial.

you said if i turn off my computer the server running why my server not running if i turn off my computer can u explain?
