Download and Installation

This section will guide you through downloading Nukkit-MOT and completing the basic server setup.

Download Nukkit-MOT​

You can obtain the latest version of Nukkit-MOT from the following sources:

After downloading, you will get a file named Nukkit-MOT-SNAPSHOT.jar.

Note

It's recommended to download from Jenkins CI for faster and more stable access.

Server Setup​

Create Server Folder​

  1. Create a new folder, for example NukkitServer
  2. Place the downloaded Nukkit-MOT-SNAPSHOT.jar file into this folder

Create Startup Script​

To make starting the server easier, we need to create a startup script.

Windows Users​

Create a new file named start.bat in the server folder with the following content:

@echo off
java -Xms1G -Xmx1G -jar Nukkit-MOT-SNAPSHOT.jar
pause

Linux/macOS Users​

Create a new file named start.sh in the server folder with the following content:

#!/bin/bash
java -Xms1G -Xmx1G -jar Nukkit-MOT-SNAPSHOT.jar

Then grant execute permissions:

chmod +x start.sh
Memory Settings
  • -Xms1G: Sets initial memory to 1GB
  • -Xmx1G: Sets maximum memory to 1GB
  • Adjust according to your needs, e.g., -Xmx2G for maximum 2GB memory

First Startup​

Start the Server​

  • Windows: Double-click to run start.bat
  • Linux/macOS: Run ./start.sh in the terminal

Wait for Initialization​

On the first startup, the server will:

  1. Automatically generate configuration files (server.properties, etc.)
  2. Create default world
  3. Load necessary resources

This process may take a few minutes.

Confirm Successful Startup​

When you see a message similar to the following, it means the server has started successfully:

[main] [INFO]: Done (xx.xxs)! For help, type "help"

Shut Down the Server​

After the first successful startup, it's recommended to shut down the server for configuration:

Type in the console:

stop

Wait for the server to completely shut down, then you can proceed with configuration.

Next Steps​

After server installation is complete, you can proceed to Configure Server to customize your server settings.
