Keep your OS, Java, and server up-to-date with the latest security patchesĭon't give admin-level access (OP, web admin access, etc) to anyone you don't trust with your personal information.ĭon't install random plugins from unknown sources. Keep good backups of everything you care about (even if you're not running a server!) That's not to say one doesn't exist, but if there is nobody knows about it.īasically you just need to follow a few rules:ĭon't run the server as administrator, or as any user with admin accessĭon't run it as a user that has access to any documents or files you care about There haven't been any exploits that allow the official Minecraft server to run random code to install a virus locally. However it's pretty small and generally safe.

Your server is hosted 24/7 365 days a year and runs completely independently from your own. Running servers of any kind always carries some element of risk. Prepare for a brand new adventure in the world of modded Minecraft. You shouldn't need to enable anything called "Network Sharing" unless it's another name for "Port Forwarding" on a crappy router.
