Navigate to your Downloads folder and move the Minecraft folder to your desired location. We’re going to drag it to the desktop, but we would recommend a dedicated folder for Minecraft.

Step 4: Double click on the Minecraft JAR file

The Minecraft Server is now loaded and a stats panel will appear. This particular home PC can’t keep up with the resources required, so we’ll be setting this up on a hosted server for a better experience.
