This tutorial will help you setup your own minecraft server in linux.

1.    You need to install Java 1.6 , this will give you all the packages you need:

yum install java-1.6*

2.   Download latest minecraft server and unzip it into its own directory.  I used \home\mindcraft

wget http://www.minecraft.net/minecraft-server.zip

unzip minecraft-server.zip

2.    To Launch the server use this command.

java -cp minecraft-server.jar com.mojang.minecraft.server.MinecraftServer

3.   The first time you launch it, the server will create a few files after a few seconds ctrl-c to stop.

4.  Now that you have the config files created, put your username in both the admins.txt and the players.txt files.  Edit the server.properties and set the port number and change public =true

5. Run this command again

 java -cp minecraft-server.jar com.mojang.minecraft.server.MinecraftServer

You can access my server by this link, try it out if you like.
