These requirements are adequate for 1-4 players. If you're interested in creating your own server with a dedicated server this article is for you on Minecraft Wiki.
After meeting the requirements, follow this step-by-step procedure to create the server:
#1 - Download the server.jar
Download the server.jar file from Minecraft's official site. Players can download the server.jar file with the most current version on the site. After downloading, make sure the file name is minecraft_server.1.XX.X.jar, where XX.X is the version.
Create a folder named "Minecraft Server" to store server-related files.
#2 - Open command prompt
Then, open the command prompt. Look for the command prompt from the start menu. To confirm java is installed then type "java-version".
Change your directory to the "Minecraft Server" folder containing the JAR file. Copy the address of this folder from the file manager and type "cd," and paste the folder address. Hit Enter to change the directory to the server folder.
For example, cdC:\Users\Admin\Desktop\Minecraft Server
After changing the directory, enter Java -jar "name your jar".jar in the command prompt.Minecraft servers . It will show an error, but there's no need to be concerned about it.

#3 - Changes to Eula.txt, and take note of query.port settings
After running the jar, the new text file named Eula will appear in the server folder. Open it using an editor for text and change eula=false to eula=true and save.
Players can find another file called "server.properties," containing all important information and settings, such as query.port, gamemode as well as difficulty and other.
#4 - The server may be started
Input the command to launch the jar again. Now, the server will start without any errors. You can join the server by typing localhost or your public IP address into the IP address box. Others can join the server by adding ":25565" at the end of your public IP address.
Share your IP address with trusted family and friends. It could pose a security threat to your family and home if it is shared with strangers. Interested readers can learn more about setting up a server by clicking here.
