This is from Build Azure, link to article here.If you set Whitelist to True, to add people to your server, login to your server from Minecraft using the DNS and 25565.<your DNS>: 25565Once in the Minecraft game, type: /Whitelist add <user name>Setup Minecraft Server in AzureNow that you have an Azure Subscription (specifically a Free Azure Trial Subscription, even better!) the next steps will be to install and setup the Minecraft Server. You may be thinking this is going to be a series of extremely complicated steps, but it’s not. I promise.Luckily for all of us, there have been some people in the community voluntarily contributing some automation templates (these are called ARM Templates for you technical readers) that allow you to setup various systems within Azure with only a few clicks.One of these such templates, is a template called “Minecraft on Ubuntu“. This template includes all the necessary setup of installing the Operating System, as well as installing and configuring the Minecraft Server itself. This will be all done for you. Not only will you not have to figure what hardware you’ll run it on, but you won’t even have to install the software yourself either!Now, let get started!Step 1: Click the link below where you can find the “Minecraft on Ubuntu” template., if the above links doesn’t work, use?the below link instead. It’s the same template, but for some reason the Microsoft Azure website gives a “404 Page not found” message some times. The below link goes directly to the open source project for the templates, and has a similar “Deploy to Azure” button that does the same thing. 2: Once you open the page at the above link, click on the “Deploy to Azure” button.?Step 3:?Login to your Azure Subscription when promptedlefttopStep 4: Fill in the details / parameters for configuring the Minecraft server, and click “OK”MINECRAFTUSER: Enter your Minecraft / Mojang username you use to play MinecraftADMINUSERNAME: Enter a username to be used to login to remotely access the Virtual Machine (VM)ADMINPASSWORD: Enter a password for the ADMINUSERNAMEDNSNAMEFORPUBLICIP: Enter a unique name for this server, this will be used for the URL used to access the server. Make sure this is no greater than 17 characters.VIRTUALMACHINESIZE: This is the size of the virtual server within Azure to create. If you aren’t familiar with Azure VM Sizes, then leave this set to the default of Standard_A1. This setting does affect the cost of the server.MINECRAFTSERVERVERSION: The Minecraft Server Version to install on the server.DIFFICULTY: The Minecraft Difficulty setting. 0 = Peaceful, 1 = Easy, 2 = Normal, 3 = HardLEVEL-NAME: The name you want to give to your Minecraft world.GAMEMODE: The Minecraft Game Mode to set. 0 = Survival, 1 = Creative, 2 = Adventure, 3 = SpectatorWHITE-LIST: Setting to False will allow any player to join the server. Set to True if you want to restrict to a whitelist of players to connect.ENABLE-COMMAND-BLOCK:?Enable command blocksSPAWN-MONSTERS:?Enable monster spawningGENERATE-STRUCTURES:?Generates villages, etc.LEVEL-SEED:?Add a seed for your worldStep 5:?lefttopEnter a New Resource Group name.The Minecraft Server that gets created in Azure consists of more resources than just the Virtual Machine. Creating a new Resource Group will group these all together into a logical group under the Azure Subscription, thus making things easier to maintain / manage later.Step 6: Pick a Resource group location.This determines which Microsoft Azure data center will host the Virtual Machine. For best performance, pick the region closest to where you are geographically located.For example: If you are located near Chicago, IL, then the “North Central US” region might be a good one.Step 7: Click on “Review legal terms”, the click “Purchase” to accept the terms.Step 8: Click “Create” to initiate the deployment and creation all the Azure resources that make up the Minecraft Server.Upon clicking “Create” the Azure Portal will be redirected to the Azure portal dashboard.Step 9: Wait a few minutes for the Minecraft Server to be provisioned. It’s possible for this to take 15 – 30 minutes, so best to let it run and come back later. FYI, you can close the browser and come back to it later if you wish.Step 10: Navigate to the Resource Group for the Minecraft server by clicking the “Resource groups” link in the Azure Portal navigation on the left.Step 11: With the “Resource Group” pane open, Click on the “Public IP” for your VMStep 12:?On the “Public IP” pane for the VM you will find both the IP Address and the DNS Name (Domain Name) that can be used to access the Minecraft Server.?Note: In the example shown in the screenshots, the full DNS Name (Domain Name) for this server is:buildazuremc.northcentralus.cloudapp.When connecting to the Minecraft Server, you should use the DNS Name (Domain Name). This DNS Name will remain constant always for your VM. The IP Address is not good to use since it could change without notice as it’s not setup to be a status IP Address.Step 13:?Open Minecraft, add the new Multiplayer serverStep 14:?Play Minecraft on your new server! ................
