You also need to decide if you'll host your server for yourself.
It's a brilliant choice if you want to use your Minecraft servers only with friends and family, but you'll have to be extra careful with who you share your server with. They're usually password-protected, and you'll have total control over who can get in and play with you. Private servers only let certain people get in. Instead, think about hosting, privacy, and mods. We're not talking about the games you'll play within the confines of the Minecraft universe. Before you start, consider what type of Minecraft server you want to create.
