Starting Local Server

'''THIS TUTORIAL IS NOT COMPLETE. WILL FINISH IT LATER!'''

Purpose
This guide is NOT intended to teach you how to run a public server on your computer. It is intended to teach you how to run your server on your own computer temporarily for testing or setting up purposes. It will also help you learn how to transfer your server files from your computer to your host's server files and vise versa (once you have setup your host plan). This is a skill you'll need to understand to backup your server files onto your computer or change Minecraft hosts down the road.

Requirements

 * 1) You must have Java installed.
 * 2) Do not give your server more than half of your computer's RAM. Also, the absolute max RAM you should give your server is 10 GB or it will start to negatively impact server performance due to how Java works. Generally, 2-10 GB is recommended. 1 GB may work for older Minecraft versions depending on your server software type.
 * 3) This will work on Windows, Mac, and Linux.

If you have installed Java and your desired server software type (I.e. Vanilla, Spigot, Forge, etc) onto your own computer then you can start your server on your own computer!
