Install and Run Qexed

For regular users: this page only covers installation, initialization, and running the server. No source build steps here.

Prerequisites

  • Windows 10/11 or Linux server environment
  • Minecraft Java Edition client
  • Writable directory for the qexed runtime

Prepare Runtime Directory

QexedRuntime/
  qexed.exe
  config/
  plugins/
  world/

On first launch, config, plugins, and world are created automatically.

Initialize Configuration

New-Item -ItemType Directory -Force "D:/Qexed"
Copy-Item "./qexed.exe" "D:/Qexed/qexed.exe"
Set-Location "D:/Qexed"
.\qexed.exe --init-settings --language en

Edit config/qexed.toml:

language = "en"

[server]
ip = "0.0.0.0:43145"
online_mode = false
max_player = -1

[server.world]
path = "world"
read_only = false
game_mode = "survival"

Start Server

Set-Location "D:/Qexed"
.\qexed.exe --language en

Keep terminal open while running. Use Ctrl+C to stop.

Connect from Client

  1. Select the correct Minecraft Java Edition version.
  2. Open Multiplayer and add server.
  3. Local address: 127.0.0.1:43145.
  4. LAN address: replace with host LAN IP, e.g. 192.168.1.10:43145.

Troubleshooting

Port already in use

Change ip port in config/qexed.toml and restart.

Connection failed

Check server process, firewall rules, and client/server version compatibility.
