Amazon Lightsail is the easiest way to get started on AWS. It offers virtual servers, storage, databases and networking, plus a cost-effective, monthly plan.
In this tutorial, you set up a dedicated Minecraft server on Amazon Lightsail.
Before you begin, accept the EULA for Minecraft.

a. Choose Create instance in the Instances tab of the Lightsail home page.
b. Choose Change Region and Availability Zone to create your instance in another location.
Select the closest Region to you so that you have good latency when playing.
c. Choose Linux as your platform, and select Ubuntu as your Blueprint.
When choosing your Blueprint, ensure you are selecting from the subsection, OS Only, not Apps + OS.
To learn more about Lightsail Blueprints, see Choose an Amazon Lightsail instance image.
d. Choose your instance plan.
Select the $5/month instance plan.
Note: If you expect to build a large world with more players, consider choosing a more powerful instance.
f. Double-check everything and then click Create instance.
a. Once your server is ready, select it, and click the Networking tab.
b. In the Networking tab, add a firewall rule to allow port 25565.
This is the default port used by the Minecraft network protocol.
c. Open port 25565 to enable Minecraft clients to connect to the server.
d. Navigate to the Connect tab, and select Connect using SSH.
e. SSH to your Lightsail instance from your browser by using the public IP address. You will need this Public IP address later in the tutorial, too.
f. This will open a browser popup with a browser window for you to run commands on your Lightsail instance. Once connected, run:
g. Update the server and install the Java Runtime.
a. Run the following commands within your Lightsail SSH session.
b. The first time you try to start the Minecraft server, it will display an error indicating that you must accept the EULA.
c. In order to accept the EULA, you need to write 'eula=true' to the contents of eula.txt, but since this file is owned by root, you need to change ownership first.

To do so, enter the following command:
d. Monitor the console for any errors. If everything goes well, here's what you should see:
Once the Minecraft server is up and running, if you need to run other commands in your SSH session without stopping the server, exit screen by pressing 'CTRL+A' and then 'd'.
Next time you connect to your Lightsail instance, you'll be greeted with an empty bash prompt. Don't worry, your server is probably running within a screen session. To list the active screen sessions, run 'screen -ls'. In the output, each line begins with the ID of the session. If you only have a single screen session, you can connect to it by running 'screen -r'. If there are multiple sessions, you will need to run 'screen -r ' where ID is the session ID.
a. On your client machine install and launch Minecraft. Enter your unique IP address in the Multiplayer/server. Then press Done.
If you have trouble adding your server, double check the IP address and make sure port 25565 is open in Step 1.
Now you can share your server IP Address with your friends and family and enjoy a fast, reliable private Minecraft Server!
Now that you can connect to your instance, what you do next depends on how you plan to use it. For example, you can:
- Create a static IP address for your instance to keep the same IP address each time you stop and start your Lightsail instance.
- Create a snapshot of your instance to keep as a backup.
- Attach a disk to your instance to add more storage space
You used Amazon Lightsail to easily host a Minecraft server.
Amazon Lightsail is great for developers, WebPros, and anyone looking to get started on AWS in a quick and cheap way. You can launch SSD-based instances, databases, manage domains, load balancers, and much more.

Let GameLift do the heavy-lifting of deploying and managing dedicated game servers so you can focus on developing games. GameLift reduces the burden of scaling servers with fluctuating player demand while providing low latency and low cost. The example architecture describes this process.
Amazon Minecraft Pc Games
A game session request is sent after platform and player authentication. GameLift FlexMatch searches for like-minded players to join the game, creates a matchmaking ticket, and places players into the matching process. The match is determined and the matchmaker passes the information to the GameLift game session placement queue. A search occurs for an available fleet instance that provides the lowest latency to the player and the lowest cost. The fleet instance is notified of the intent to begin a game, which exposes an IP address, and the chosen server listens on a particular IP port. The IP address and port are returned to the game when the match is set up.
The match is created and allows matchmaking results to be passed back to the game. The game has the IP address and port to contact, and a session token for the GameLift game server. The game now makes a connection to the GameLift game server assigned to the player's match, players arrive, and fun begins for the players. Get started with the developer guide»
