Starting your Server

How to get started with MegaByte, starting your server.

Introduction

This guide will go over how to get your server on it's first legs, it's quite simple and this quick little guide should get you and your friends up online within seconds! Please make sure before following this tutorial that you have a valid server.jar file as that's what communicates with our Nodes.

Preparation

Okay, so once you have navigated to your server (see this page) you should have a similar screen to this, yours may look a little different, but in the end, it should have some resemblance to the image below. You're going to want to make sure that all your startup parameters are correct.

Power Actions

Alright, so now (hopefully) you've managed to make sure that everything is setup and ready so that the server can just start without the trouble of running into a wall of errors. The last thing to do is startup your server, you can do this via going back to the main area (Console) and then click "Start". You might receive a little note asking you to agree to Minecraft's "EULA". This stands for "End User License Agreement" and just means that you won't do anything harmful with your server.

If you've done everything correctly, your server console should look something like ours and then once you see the message "Timings Reset" that means your server is online! You can join via the IP listed in Console. In the chance that your maiden startup doesn't go as smooth as this one, you are always free to open a support ticket and our agents will attempt to help you the best we can!
