There are a lot of options out there for setting up a free Minecraft Server. We’d love to share our 2 favorite guides to setting up the best free Minecraft servers with you!

Setting Up a Free Minecraft Server

First, remember that setting up a free server takes time and some computer know-how. Typically, children under 15 probably won’t be able to do it on their own. We think this video does a great job of explaining how to do it!

How to make your own server.

Making your own server isn’t that difficult, but it does require some knowledge of files and some reading. This is the FREE option. If you want to play with up to 8 friends then this is how to do it for FREE. It does require some RAM and Hard Drive space on your PC, but not a lot. The quality of the connection is entirely dependent on the “host” as well.

More Information

A great budget friendly paid server option is Apex Hosting. If your child is familiar with Minecraft and OP controls, we’d recommend Apex. Prices on Apex are affordable, starting as low as $4.99 a month.
