Getting Started With McMyAdmin

One of the most appealing things with McMyAdmin is how quick and intuitive it can be to get a Minecraft server started.

Logging Into Your McMyAdmin Panel

Upon completion of the purchase and installation of the Minecraft VPS, you should receive an email with all of the login credentials for your new McMyAdmin Control Panel and the server that was purchased.

The link you will need to navigate to log in to your McMyAdmin will, by default, be the IP of your server on port 8080, like this:

http://123.456.78.90:8080

You will be brought to the main login page for your McMyAdmin panel.

Once you enter the correct login credentials, you will be welcomed with the McMyAdmin panel for your new Minecraft server. On the first-time installation, you will be on the Configuration page, as shown below.

Here, you can create the Minecraft server's world to your exact specifications.

Setting Up Your Minecraft Server

We'll go over each of the configuration options more in the Configuring Your McMyAdmin article, so for now, we're just going to create a quick and easy service that will play like the standard Minecraft game. We'll need to set the Game Settings, the Server Settings, and the server's Features before it can launch.

Launching Your Minecraft Server

Once you have all of these options set, you can launch the server! Just click on the Status option in the left menu bar.

Now all you need to do is click on Start Server.

When the server starts, you'll start seeing bar graphs in both the CPU Usage and RAM Usage. The CPU usage often has an initial spike as the server is spun up and the world generated per your configurations.

Congratulations! You now have your very own Minecraft server to build, destroy, and explore within!
