How to create a Minecraft server in ProximaClient

Also available in: Русский

ProximaClient is a free launcher for creating Minecraft servers: you add a server, pick a core and version, and the app downloads the core and the right Java for you. No command line, no configs, no start.bat. Let's go through, step by step, how to create a Minecraft server in ProximaClient.

Before you start

Download and install ProximaClient for Windows: download →. Everything else happens inside the app.

Creating a server step by step

  1. Open ProximaClient.
  2. Click "Add server".

ProximaClient main screen — the "Add server" button

  1. Choose the game — Minecraft.
  2. Enter a name for the server.
  3. Choose the folder where the server will be installed.
  4. Pick the server core and its version (for example, Paper 1.21.4).
  5. Choose how much RAM to allocate.
  6. Check or uncheck the ProximaTunnel box — with it, friends can join without port forwarding.

What happens next

After you create the server, ProximaClient automatically:

  • downloads the chosen core (from a Russian mirror);
  • installs the right Java version for that Minecraft version;
  • prepares the server files.

The last thing left is to accept the EULA — Minecraft's license agreement. In the modal that appears, tick the agreement checkbox and confirm with the button. Without it, the server won't start.

Done — the server is ready to launch.

FAQ

Do I need to install Java myself? No. ProximaClient installs the right version for the Minecraft version you picked.

How much RAM should I allocate? For 2–5 players, 2 GB is enough; for modpacks, 4 GB and up. Don't give the server all your PC's memory — leave some for the system.

What does the ProximaTunnel checkbox do? Friends join your server at a name.proximamp.com address without a public IP or port forwarding. More in Minecraft server without port forwarding.

Can I set up a server manually, without the app? Yes — see the How to create a Minecraft server on your PC guide.

Launch your first server

Download ProximaClient for Windows → — and create your own server in a couple of minutes, with no terminal and no configs.
