How To Create A Free Server With Aternos - A Tutorial For Minecraft

Step 1 - Create an account

You will need an account to create a server. Those are very easy to create: First you must enter on "https://aternos.org/signup/". You can choose a username from the list.

Next, create a password. To have the same password, you can connect your Google Account.

Step 2: Create the server.

 Once we have logged in, it is time to start creating the server. To start, you just have to press the "+ Create a Server" button.

Now you have the option to add a name, description, or use the defaults. (NOTE: If Java Edition is not activated, the tutorial will not work!)

Step 3: Configure your server.

Firstly, configure your server before you can open it. This part is a bit tricky, so I recommend reading the steps several times.

 To start go to the left side of the screen, there should be a menu with different sections. Click on "Options".

The first thing that we see is a small menu for changing everything from Step 2, add an image to the server, buy a custom domain, restart all files and servers.

Below you will find a larger menu and basic settings. These are:

Max Players - This setting changes the maximum number of players allowed to enter the server. - Gamemode: Changes the default gamemode. - Difficulty- Changes the difficulty level in the world.


 - Whitelist - Toggle the verificated players list.


- Cracked. Toggle if nonpremium users can join you server (Skins won't be disabled).


- PvP- Toggle to see if users can fight.


 - Command Blocks - Toggle if the command block can be used.


- Flight – Toggle if users are able to fly.


- Animals - See if passive creatures are possible to spawn anywhere in the world.


Monsters – Toggle if aggressive creatures can be spawned around the world.


- NPCs: Toggle if villager can spawn all over the world


- Nether – Toggle if nether is possible.


Force Gamemode - Toggle to determine if a particular gamemode is mandatory.


Spawn protection - Change the invencibility period when the user respawns.


- Require Resource pack - Attach a resource/texture package to your server.


- Resource Pack URL- Link to "Require Resource Pack".


- Timezone Select the timezone that is displayed on the server.
 Minecraft Server Lists

 - Environment - Select Java version.

- Permission Level - Choose from 1 through 4.

Now click on "Software". There you can choose which Minecraft type to play (vanilla/modified or with plugins).
