Minecraft Server with Buildtools

I have used servers in school where I am running 30+ computers. The server is an i3. I thought I would put up a short tutorial to help you complete the process..

1. Get the latest Buildtools (or the version you want). here
2. Install Java
3. Install GitBash
4. Right/Click in the open area of the folder where you put your buildtools.jar and select Git Bash here.  Aterminal window will open
5. In the terminal window type: java -Xmx1024M -jar BuildTools.jar   and enter
6. It will now extract and build. This will take a long time.
It will say "success" when it is finisshed.

In the window above, you will see that my first attempt resulted in a memory error, after the second attempt the build starts.

Now your  folder has the necessary files for the next step. It looks like this inside:

5. Create a text file with the text:

@echo off
java -Xms1G -Xmx1G -XX:+UseConcMarkSweepGC -jar spigot.jar
pause

Save it as start (.bat file) Inside the server folder.

This will install the newest version.


6. Edit your spigot file to just be "spigot"

7. Open the start.bat file
This will extract files

8. Open the eula file in the server folder and change it to true

9. Change the server properties to your needs

10. run the start.bat file
