Minecraft Gold
In this short article I will tell you how to create and run the simplest minecraft server without mods, plugins without anything, just a server to play with friends in regular minecraft. It's quite simple, but many players do not know how to work with the official Minecraft server, so let's figure it out.
To begin with, there are quite a few different minecraft servers, but in this article we will use the official server from Mojang. We will create a server on version 1.12.2, but servers for other versions are created in the same way.
How to create and run an official server:
To get started, download the server itself: 1.19.3, 1.18.2, 1.17.x, 1.16.x, 1.15.x, 1.14.x, 1.13.2, 1.12.2, 1.11.2, 1.10.2, 1.9.4, 1.8.9, 1.7.10.

0) You must have Java installed
1) Create a folder anywhere on your PC, put the downloaded file inside.
2) Create a text file called start
Open this file with notepad or any other text editor, put the following line inside.
java -Xmx1024M -Xms1024M -jar minecraft_server.1.12.2.jar nogui
Attention, the name of the server file is indicated in the line, in this case, minecraft_server.1.12.2.jar, if you renamed it, or you have a different version, change the name to the correct one.
Other values:
Xmx1024M - the maximum value of RAM that the server can consume
Xms1024M - the amount of RAM that the server uses immediately at startup.
nogui - disables the display of a more pleasant server window in which you can see the list of players and the server load graph, this window can heavily load the server in certain cases, I recommend not using it. If you want to see the server window like this, just remove nogui from the line.
Every Minecraft player is familiar with this image. The panorama of this area in the game was used as a background image on the main menu screen. This image appeared in the Minecraft Beta 1.8 version and was used for a very long time — it was changed only in version 1.13, and now with the release of each update, a new thematic picture is used. It was clear that this was a...
Last September, I talked about an ultra-tall cactus found by the participants of the Minecraft@Home project. It was a 22-block-high cactus that grew in the middle of the Minecraft 1.14 desert. This height seems crazy, but now the project participants have discovered a new record holder — a cactus with a height of 23 blocks. He is only 1 block taller, and this seems to be...
An update for Minecraft-1.19-called The Wild Update, was released on June 7, 2022. The update will include the long-awaited Warden Mob (Guardian, Guardian) and mangrove biome, as well as various related blocks that apparently promised to improve the usual swamp biome. The update wasn't very big.
