How to Start a Minecraft Server For Free | Everything You Need To Know

Have you ever wanted to start your very own Minecraft server but thought it would cost a fortune? Well, you’re in luck! In this video, we’ll show you how to start a Minecraft server for free.
Script:
“Before we get started, there are a few things you’ll need. First and foremost, a computer that meets the minimum requirements to run a Minecraft server. Ideally, you’ll want a stable internet connection, at least 4GB of RAM, and a decent processor.”

“Step 1: Choosing the right server software.
There are various server software options available, but for this tutorial, we’ll be using the popular Spigot server. It’s lightweight, customizable, and easy to set up. Head over to spigotmc.org and download the latest version of Spigot.”
“Step 2: Preparing your server environment.
Create a new folder on your computer and name it something like ‘Minecraft Server.’ Move the downloaded Spigot.jar file into this folder. Now, create a new text document and name it ‘start.bat.'”
“Step 3: Configuring your server.
Open the ‘start.bat’ file with a text editor, such as Notepad. Inside the file, type the following command: java -Xms1G -Xmx2G -jar Spigot.jar -o true”.
“Step 4: Setting server properties.
Save and close the ‘start.bat’ file. Now, double-click on it to launch the server. It will generate a few files, including ‘eula.txt.’ Open this file with a text editor and change ‘eula=false’ to ‘eula=true’ to accept the End User License Agreement.”
“Step 5: Starting the server.
Double-click on ‘start.bat’ again to launch the server. It may take a few moments for the server to start up and generate the necessary files.”
“Step 6: Port forwarding.
To make your server accessible to others, you’ll need to configure port forwarding on your router. Open your router’s configuration page by entering its IP address in your web browser. Locate the ‘Port Forwarding’ or ‘Virtual Server’ settings and add a new rule to forward incoming connections on the Minecraft server port, (default is 25565) to your computer’s IP address.”
“Step 7: Testing your server.
Now that your server is up and running, it’s time to test it. Launch Minecraft on another device and click on ‘Multiplayer.’ Then, click on ‘Add Server’ and enter your server’s IP address. If everything is set up correctly, you should be able to connect to your server and start playing together!”

And there you have it! You’ve successfully set up your own Minecraft server for free. But remember, if you plan on inviting a lot of players or want to enhance your server with plugins and mods, you might need more resources or consider upgrading to a paid hosting serv

How to Account for Early Retirement of Bonds [Video]

This video explains how to account for the early retirement of bonds (aka early extinguishment of debt or early redemption of bonds).When a company retires (redeems) its bonds prior to the maturity date, the company must do several things:-Reduce the cash account by the amount used to repurchase the bonds (if cash is used to retire the bonds)-Remove the bonds payable-Zero out the unamortized discount or unamortized premium-Record a gain or loss IF the repurchase price is different from the carrying value (aka book value) of the bonds on the date the bonds are retiredThere are two ways to calculate the gain or loss on the early retirement of the bonds:(1) record the journal entry; if a debit is required to make the journal entry balance, then debit a loss on early retirement (or loss on bond redemption, loss on early extinguishment of debt, etc.). If a credit is instead required to make the journal entry balance, the credit a gain on early retirement (or gain on bond redemption, gain on early extinguishment of debt, etc.)(2) calculate the difference between the repurchase price (the amount paid to retire the bonds) and carrying value (aka book value) of the bonds at the time they are retired. If the repurchase price is less than the carrying value, there is a gain. If the repurchase price is greater than the carrying value, there is a loss.0:00 Introduction0:39 4 things to do when retiring bonds1:20 Example3:59 T-account for discount on bonds payable4:18 Journal entry to record gain on retirement of bonds5:53 Alternative situation (loss on retirement of bonds)— Edspira is the creation of Michael McLaughlin, an award-winning professor who went from teenage homelessness to a PhD.
