In Minecraft Java Edition, players can either jump into a world on their own and explore it, or they can join their friends in a multiplayer world and play together.

Minecraft is a great game for building a sense of community with other gamers. With so many active members, some have formed servers that allow them to play with people from all over the world.

If you're contemplating creating your own "Minecraft" server but think it's too complicated, the simplistic reality of setting one up may surprise you.
