Table of Contents
Introduction
This tutorial will cover the process of installing Caudron. For those who are not familiar with Caudron, it is a type of Minecraft Server.
Prerequisites
- An ITWeb.Services instance with a minimum of 786 MB of RAM.
- Java 7.
- Root access.
- Vim or nano installed.
The first step is to run a system-wide update:
yum update -y
If Java is not already installed on your system, you can install it using the command below:
yum install java -y
Next, you would need to install a text editor. You can use either vim or nano, depending on your personal preference:
yum install vim
Or:
yum install nano
Installation
Before downloading the server files, you will need to create a download directory under root or / and navigate to it:
cd /
mkdir cauldron-server
cd cauldron-server
The next step is to download the cauldron files:
wget http://minecraft.maeyanie.com/cauldron/cauldron-1.7.10-1.1207.01.198-installer.jar
Next, run the installer as follows:
java -jar cauldron-1.7.10-1.1207.01.198-installer.jar
When prompted to enter the server’s install location, please use /cauldron-server. Once the installation has completed, you will need to create a start-up script as follows:
vi start.sh
Paste the following line into the start-up script:
java -Xmx768M -Xmx768M -jar cauldron-1.7.10-server.jar
Exit the file by hitting the Esc key, then typing :wq!, then hitting the Enter key.
Starting the server
Navigate to the /cauldron-server directory and type:
sh start.sh
You can access your server by opening Minecraft, and entering your IT Web Services IP. It should be:
<your_server_ip>:25565
