He started playing last year (2023) and just talk about that. Now, he want to play with us, me and my wife, as well with some cousins. It's available lots of servers on the internet, both paid or free, but those server don't have the security I want to my kid. That's because I had the idea of creating my own Minecraft Server on AWS. A server it will be used only by us. I'm creating this repository to share how I did that and maybe can help other parents (or not) with the same necessity. Steps It's very simple to create. To do this faster and reproduceble, I create a CloudFormation code for that. You'll find a file called minecraft-server.yaml . Basically, in this file I create a Security Group to allow only few ports I want to expose to the internet, like SSH and the port 25565 that is the port Minecraft Launcher connects. Another important part is creating the EC2 instance. Basically, you need to choose the Linux image you want, as well the instance type. I choose a t4g.small and it's running very well. I just need to understand if can be a smaller instance yet. The instance type you can find in the EC2 page or using the AWS Calculator, so doing that it's easier to understand how much it will costs. The image ID you'll find on the AMI Marketplace on the EC2 section on your AWS Management Console. Finally, you just need to run the following command: aws cloudformation create-stack --stack-name MinecraftServerSt","default_branch":null,"files":null,"tree":[],"storefront":"/r/epiresdasilva","claimed":false,"request_supported":{"post":"https://gitbuyer.com/r/epiresdasilva/aws-minecraft-server/request-supported","requests":0},"note":"indexed from public GitHub; nothing is for sale on this page.
