Minecraft has made it very easy to make a multiplayer server. Simply go to minecraft.net and download the server .exe. Type in the IP address of the computer you are running the server on and you will connect to your new server! Please note that you will have to port forward your server for people to be able to connect to it from the internet.
Yes, buying the game is not needed to make a server. However, you must know how to port forward and your router as well as your information to your router (username and password). If you are interested in setting up your own server, feel free to message me and I'll instruct you through it, as I've set up many servers. I've provided links to a port forwarding site as well as the download link for the up-to-date Minecraft server. -Mr. Andy

You have to port forward, or the server is not up in your terminal... I can only help on MACS for port forwarding... can ANYONE access it besides you from YOUR computer? Also, your IP could have changed (if you port forwarded, you have to do it again)and.. What is the error message on it?How to Port Forward on a MacGo to 192.168.1.1 which is your router's page. You will have to type a username and password. The username is probably ADMIN. You then have to open NETWORK PREFERENCES and look at the IP It should be 192.168.1.???. Click on PORT FORWARD or GAMING in your menu on the router page... It should say Port Forward... Type in the IP that you saw in network prefrences (the last 2 or 3 numbers) in the end of the port forward thing. Make the ports 25565. Save. Go to ipchicken.com The IP that shows up there is the one you type in in your Minecraft Server Connect..Hope This Helps!
You simply change the port number in the minecraft server properties
Make sure all instances of Minecraft Server are closed, also another application could be using the port. Try doing killall java then run the server.
