How to install Java & run a Minecraft server on a Windows VPS

• Connect to your Windows VPS via Remote Desktop or VNC. Then navigate to the web browser and search for the Oracle JDK 18 Downloads page.

• Hit Download Java and install the software.

• Go back to the browser and get whatever jar file you would like (i.e. Spigot, Bukkit, Paper, etc.), I will use the spigot for this tutorial.

• Go to your desktop and make a new folder for your server.

• Drag and drop the jar of your choice, then double click on the file.jar.

• Double click on the eula.txt and change false to true.

• Open the file.jar again and now the server should run and start.
