How to install Java & run a Minecraft server on a Windows VPS

Connect to your Windows VPS via Remote Desktop or VNC. Then navigate to the web browser and search for the Oracle JDK 18 Downloads page.

Hit Download Java and install the software.

Go back to the browser and get whatever jar file you would like (i.e. Spigot, Bukkit, Paper, etc.), I will use the spigot for this tutorial.

Go to your desktop and make a new folder for your server.

Drag and drop the jar of your choice, then double click on the file.jar.

Double click on the eula.txt and change false to true.

Open the file.jar again and now the server should run and start.
