How To Create A OneBlock Server In Minecraft
Creating a Oneblock Minecraft server is a great way to turn a simple block into an unforgettable survival challenge. Starting with just one block, players mine their way through phases, unlocking new resources, mobs, and eventually entire islands. Setting it up is easy once you have the right tools in place. Here's how to create your own.
In this guide, we'll show you how to create a Oneblock server in Minecraft and have fun with your friends, and even your enemies on your new Oneblock Minecraft server world experience!
Make sure to install the compatible server version with the plugin installed.
To install OneBlock on your Minecraft server:
Install the Oneblock plugin
Log in to your Apollo Panel
Access your "Files" tab and navigate to the "plugins" folder
Drag and drop the plugin, or on the top right of your screen, click on "upload" to upload the jar file downloaded
To verify that your game has no issues, start your server; if you face any issues, ensure you've done the steps correctly and have no incompatible plugins on your server.
