Installation

Learn how to install and set up DivineMC on your machine.

#Requirements

To run DivineMC, you'll need:

  • Java 25 or newer
  • At least 4GB of RAM (recommended)
  • A stable internet connection

#Installation

DivineMC follows a similar installation process to other PaperMC-based server software, making it familiar for experienced server administrators.

#Downloading the Server

1

Visit our Downloads page and download the latest build of DivineMC.

2

Make a new folder to keep your server files organized and easily accessible.

3

Move the downloaded DivineMC jar file into your server directory.

#Running the Server

1

Create a startup script in your server directory. For Linux, macOS and other Unix-like systems, create a file named start.sh with the following content:

#!/usr/bin/env bash
java -Xms4096M -Xmx4096M --add-modules=jdk.incubator.vector -jar server.jar --nogui

For Windows, use the example above, but create a start.bat file instead and remove the #!/usr/bin/env bash line.

2

The first launch creates an eula.txt file. Open it and change the following line:

# By changing the setting below to TRUE, you agree to our EULA (https://aka.ms/MinecraftEULA).
# Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 UTC 1970
eula=falseeula=true
3

Run the server again using the startup script you created. Once it fully loads, your installation is complete!

#Next Steps

Now that you have your DivineMC server running, you can start adding plugins and configuring it to your liking.
