Your kids love Minecraft, their friends love Minecraft, and they want to play it together when they can’t be in the same physical place—and they’re begging you to make that happen. Don’t worry, you don’t have to figure it out on your own: we’re here to help.

您的孩子喜欢Minecraft ，他们的朋友也喜欢Minecraft，当他们不能在同一个物理位置上时，他们想一起玩—他们恳求您实现这一目标。 不用担心，您不必自己搞定：我们在这里为您提供帮助。

Setting up a private server for your children and their friends to play Minecraft is a great way to create a safe place for them to enjoy the wildly popular game. Unlike public servers, a private server will only have players you know (your child and the friends and family members you explicitly allow to join). In addition the problems that plague big and poorly moderated servers like swearing, inappropriate content and behavior, or griefing (where players antagonize another player, typically by destroying the things they’ve built or stealing their stuff), will either be non-existent on a private server or, if they crop up, you know who the culprit is and can have a chat with their parent.

为您的孩子和他们的朋友们建立一个私人服务器玩Minecraft是一个很好的方式，可以为他们创造一个安全的场所，让他们享受广受欢迎的游戏。 与公共服务器不同，私人服务器将仅拥有您认识的玩家(您的孩子以及您明确允许加入的朋友和家人)。 此外，困扰大型，管理不善的服务器的问题，例如咒骂，不适当的内容和行为或悲伤(玩家通常通过销毁自己建造的东西或偷东西来与另一名玩家抗衡)，或者在私人服务器，或者如果他们长大了，您就会知道是罪魁祸首，并且可以与父母聊天。

There are four ways to do this. In the following sections, you’ll see all four arranged by ease of use—from easiest to most difficult.

有四种方法可以做到这一点。 在以下各节中，您将按易用性(从最简单到最困难)排列所有这四个部分。

If you’re looking for more information in general about Minecraft, the game your kid and all their friends are obsessed with, we’d highly recommend checking out our parent’s guide to Minecraft if you want a solid overview of the game with parental concerns in mind and, for a more in-depth look, check out our extended series on the game here. With your basic questions about the game answered via these articles, we can focus on the big question: how to safely get your child online so they can play with their friends.

如果您正在寻找有关Minecraft，您的孩子及其所有朋友都沉迷于该游戏的一般信息，我们强烈建议您查阅我们父母关于Minecraft的指南，如果您希望对有关该游戏的父母有一个全面的了解。请注意，如果需要更深入的了解，请在此处查看有关该游戏的扩展系列 。 通过这些文章回答了您对游戏的基本问题后，我们可以着重解决一个大问题：如何安全地使您的孩子上网，以便他们可以与朋友一起玩。

选项一：购买Minecraft领域以进行简单的死亡共享游戏 (Option One: Purchase a Minecraft Realm for Dead Simple Shared Play)

• Pros: Dead simple. Hosted by the company behind Minecraft.

  优点：死法简单。 由Minecraft背后的公司托管。

• Cons: Only supports 10 players. No advanced features. (Relatively) expensive.

  缺点：仅支持10个玩家。 没有高级功能。 (相对)昂贵。

• Best for: Anyone who wants an online server right this second with no fuss.

  最适合：任何想要立即使用在线服务器而不会大惊小怪的人。

The absolute simplest solution, hands down, is to purchase a Minecraft Realms subscription. Minecraft Realms is the only officially hosted Minecraft server platform in the world, as it is directly hosted and maintained by Mojang, Minecraft’s parent company.

最简单的绝对简单的解决方案是购买Minecraft Realms订阅。 Minecraft Realms是由Minecraft的母公司Mojang直接托管和维护的，是世界上唯一官方托管的Minecraft服务器平台。

For $7.99 a month (the first month is free so you can try it out), you get an easily accessible and always up-to-date Minecraft server with three world slots (so your kids can rotate out which Minecraft worlds they play on) as well as a bunch of mini-game templates if they want to play mini-games with their friends.

每月只需​​$ 7.99(第一个月是免费的，因此您可以尝试一下)，您将获得一个易于访问且始终保持最新状态的Minecraft服务器，该服务器带有三个世界插槽(因此您的孩子可以轮流播放他们玩的Minecraft世界)以及一堆迷你游戏模板(如果他们想与朋友一起玩迷你游戏)。

The Realms servers are strictly whitelist only, which means players have to be manually approved to gain access to the server—a random person can never join the server with your kids. They can support up to 10 players.

Realms服务器严格来说仅是白名单，这意味着必须手动批准玩家才能访问服务器-随机的人永远不能与您的孩子一起加入服务器。 他们最多可以支持10位玩家。

If your kids just want to play Minecraft with friends, don’t have any interest in playing with Minecraft game mods or server plugins (advanced tools that expand the functionality of Minecraft), and they only need space for 10 players or less, then getting a Minecraft Realms account is a no-brainer.

如果您的孩子只想与朋友一起玩Minecraft，对玩Minecraft游戏模块或服务器插件(扩展Minecraft功能的高级工具)没有兴趣，他们只需要10个或更少的玩家空间，便可以Minecraft Realms帐户不费吹灰之力。

We have a step-by-step guide to setting up a Realms account, which you can do from right within your child’s copy of Minecraft. Better yet, we even have a guide to locating local Minecraft worlds and uploading them to Minecraft Realms so your can take the world your kid and friends have been working on at your house and make it their Realms world so the building projects can continue without a hiccup.

我们提供了有关设置Realms帐户的分步指南 ，您可以从孩子的Minecraft副本中直接进行操作。 更好的是，我们甚至还提供了有关定位Minecraft世界的指南，并将其上传到Minecraft Realms，以便您可以带走孩子和朋友一直在您家中工作的世界，并使其成为Realms世界，这样建筑项目就可以继续进行而无需打ic。

方案二：第三方托管方很灵活，但实际操作更多 (Option Two: Third Party Hosts Are Flexible But More Hands On)

• Pros: Best value-to-dollar ratio. Host more players for less. Supports plugins and advanced features.

  优点：最佳的性价比。 以更少的费用托管更多玩家。 支持插件和高级功能。

• Cons: Requires more hands-on-configuration and parental involvement.

  缺点：需要更多动手配置和父母参与。

• Best for: Parents comfortable with Minecraft and doing some manual configuration (or older children who can do it themselves).

  最适合：父母熟悉Minecraft并进行一些手动配置(或年龄较大的孩子可以自己做)。

If you’re willing to invest a little more energy into the project (or you have a very tech-savvy child who can), then you might consider purchasing a third party Minecraft host.

如果您愿意为该项目投入更多的精力(或者您有一个精通技术的孩子可以这样做)，那么您可以考虑购买第三方Minecraft主机。

There are a multitude of benefits that come with a third party host over a Realms server. First and foremost, you’ll get more for your dollar: the $8 a month you spend on a Realms server will get you a third party host that supports many more players (typically 20 or more in that price range).

第三方主机通过Realms服务器具有许多好处。 首先，您会从中获得更多收益：您在Realms服务器上花费的每月8美元将使您成为支持更多玩家(通常在该价格范围内20或更多)的第三方主机。

Furthermore, most hosts will include support for plugins that enhance Minecraft with cool features, a subdomain so your kid’s server will have a memorable name like “coolkidsbuilding.someMChost.com”, and a good host will even have a web-based control panel where you can control the server (like managing the whitelist and toggling plugins on and off).

此外，大多数主机将包括对插件的支持，这些插件可增强Minecraft的酷炫功能，一个子域，以便您孩子的服务器具有令人难忘的名称，例如“ coolkidsbuilding.someMChost.com”，而好的主机甚至还会具有基于Web的控制面板，您可以控制服务器(例如管理白名单以及打开和关闭插件)。

On the downside, while you’re getting more bang-for-your-buck than buying a Realms account, you’re also getting more work: it’s up to you to make sure the whitelist is turned on, for example, and you’ll be in charge of managing all the whiz-bang extras you get with a more advanced host.

不利的一面是，与购买Realms帐户相比，您可以赚很多钱，但同时，您还需要做更多的工作：例如，确保白名单已开启取决于您，将负责管理您使用更高级的主机获得的所有额外功能。

It’s absolutely more work than just buy a Realms server subscription, but it’s also way more flexible. If you’re willing to be more hands on or have a child that is mature enough to be their own server administrator, picking up an inexpensive hosting plan from a reputable third party hosting service like BeastNode or MCProHosting. Need help comparing and contrasting features to make an informed purchase? Check out our guide to selecting a remote Minecraft host.

这绝对是更多的工作不仅仅是买一个国度服务器订阅，但它也是方式更加灵活。 如果您愿意多做一些事情，或者有一个足够成熟的孩子成为自己的服务器管理员，请从信誉良好的第三方托管服务(例如BeastNode或MCProHosting)中选择一个便宜的托管计划。 需要帮助比较和对比功能来进行明智的购买吗？ 查看我们的指南，以选择远程Minecraft主机 。

选择三：在家托管它-您的硬件，您的麻烦 (Option Three: Host It at Home—Your Hardware, Your Hassle)

• Pros: Your only expense is electricity. You have total control over everything.

  优点：您唯一的支出就是电费。 您完全掌控一切。

• Cons: You have to install and configure everything. You supply the hardware. There’s no quick start or friendly dashboard.

  缺点：您必须安装和配置所有内容。 您提供了硬件。 没有快速入门或友好的仪表板。

• Best for: Parents very comfortable with Minecraft and computers in general (or for older children who want to get very hands on).

  最适合：总体而言，父母对Minecraft和计算机非常满意(或者对于想亲身体验的大一点的孩子)。

If you consider yourself the geeky type, and you’re not afraid to manage every aspect of running a Minecraft server for your kids (or you have kids that can handle all this by themselves), then you can run a Minecraft server right out of your house.

如果您认为自己是怪异类型，并且不怕为孩子管理运行Minecraft服务器的各个方面(或者您的孩子可以自己处理所有这些事情)，则可以直接运行Minecraft服务器你的房子。

On the upside: you have total control over the entire process, you can choose whatever server software you want, the files are stored right at home, and all the game play takes place right at home too. We have guides for setting up the vanilla Minecraft server platform available from Mojang or a third party server platform like Spigot that supports plugins.

有利的一面是：您可以完全控制整个过程，可以选择所需的任何服务器软件，文件可以在家中存储，并且所有游戏都可以在家中进行。 我们提供了用于设置Mojang提供的香草Minecraft服务器平台或支持插件的第三方服务器平台(如Spigot)的指南 。

On the downside: if you want the server up 24/7, you have to leave a computer on 24/7 (which will run you as much in electricity costs per month as buying a cheap Minecraft host). You need good enough hardware to run the server smoothly in the first place. You’ll need to fiddle with setting up port forwarding rules to allow external access to the server (so your kid’s friends can join), and while you’re at it, you’ll likely need to set up a Dynamic DNS address so their friends can easily find the server even if your home IP address changes.

不利的一面：如果您希望服务器24/7全天候运行，则必须将计算机保持24/7全天候运行(这与每月购买便宜的Minecraft主机一样，每月的电费成本也很高)。 首先，您需要足够好的硬件来平稳地运行服务器。 您需要设置端口转发规则以允许从外部访问服务器(以便您的孩子的朋友可以加入)，而在使用它时，您可能需要设置动态DNS地址，以便他们即使您的家庭IP地址发生变化，朋友也可以轻松找到服务器。

Running a custom server from home is exactly how we do things in my household (and I have a ton of fun with it), but not everyone has a home server they’re already leaving on 24/7 anyway, nor the desire to fiddle with and maintain said server.

在家中运行定制服务器正是我们在家中做事的方式(我对此充满了乐趣)，但是并非每个人都拥有已经全天候24/7运行的家用服务器，也不是为了摆弄东西与并维护所述服务器。

选项四：共享局域网游戏，等待巨大的头痛 (Option Four: Share a LAN Game, Where Huge Headaches Await)

• Pros: Requires no server software or any knowledge about the game or server settings. Free.

  优点：不需要服务器软件，也不需要任何有关游戏或服务器设置的知识。 自由。

• Cons: Requires you to change a router setting every time your child plays.

  缺点：要求您每次孩子玩耍时更改路由器设置。

• Best for: Kids who share a game with a friend once in a blue moon (but really, it’s not best for anybody).

  最适合：一次在蓝色月亮与朋友分享游戏的孩子(但实际上，这并不适合任何人)。

We’re nothing if not thorough, and we’re including this last entry not as much as a how-to tip but a probably-don’t tip. Your child might have suggested that all you need to do to get them and their friends playing together is to figure out how to get the local play feature connected to the internet—we’re here to tell you it’s not worth it.

如果不彻底，我们什么都不是，我们要包括的最后一项内容不只是如何操作的技巧，而是可能不会的技巧。 您的孩子可能已经建议，要让他们和他们的朋友一起玩，需要做的所有事情就是弄清楚如何将本地游戏功能连接到互联网-我们在这里告诉您，这不值得。

When two people are playing Minecraft on the same network (e.g. your child and their friend are playing Minecraft on two laptops at your house), one of them can easily use the “Open to LAN” feature to locally share the game so their friend can join and they can play together. The hoops you have to jump through in order to make this work across the internet, however, are extremely annoying and way too hands on: every single time your child starts up a Minecraft game and uses the “Open to LAN” feature, it will require that you dig into the settings of your home router and change them (because every LAN game has a random port number that requires an updated port forwarding rule).

当两个人在同一网络上玩Minecraft(例如，您的孩子和他们的朋友在您家中的两台笔记本电脑上玩Minecraft)时，其中一个可以轻松地使用“ Open to LAN ”功能在本地共享游戏，以便他们的朋友可以加入，他们可以一起玩。 为了使这项工作能够在Internet上进行，您必须跳过这些箍，这非常烦人并且太过动手：您的孩子每次启动Minecraft游戏并使用“向局域网开放”功能时，都会要求您深入研究家用路由器的设置并进行更改(因为每个LAN游戏都有一个随机的端口号，需要更新的端口转发规则)。

We’ve detailed the process here, step-by-step, so feel free to read over it, shake your head, and say “Yeah… no deal. I’m just going to get a Realms account for them.” You’ll be glad you did.

我们在这里逐步详细地介绍了此过程 ，因此请随时阅读它，摇摇头，然后说：“是的……没关系。 我将为他们获得一个Realms帐户。” 您会很高兴的。
