Minecraft

It is recommended to use 4GB RAM and 2 Cores Premium Intel Droplet size for the best experience.

NOTE: After Minecraft Droplet was created it will start world generation which can take ~5 minutes depending on the Droplet size. If you are getting Timed out errors - make sure to give your server a minute.

After a few minutes passed after droplet creation, you can access your server and play with your friends:

First copy the public ipv4 address from your newly created droplet from the DigitalOcean control panel (https://cloud.digitalocean.com/projects)
Then start the Minecraft application, click "Play" and then "Multiplayer"
Then click "Add Server"
Then paste the IP address of the Droplet into the Server Address field and then "Done" to save
Finally, click "Join Server" and enjoy!

How to promote a user to an admin (Minecraft operator)

There are many reasons to have admin privileges, especially if you are sharing your Minecraft server publicly, next steps will show how to promote a player to an admin:

Login into your droplet via cloud console or SSH:

$ ssh <your Minecraft Droplet IP>

Switch to a minecraft user:

$ su - minecraft -s /bin/bash

Now, use screen to run a command on a Minecraft server terminal:

$ screen -p 0 -S minecraft -X eval 'stuff "op <user nickname>"\\015'

Make sure to change &amp;amp;lt;user nickname&amp;amp;gt; to a username that needs to become an admin.

Done! Now &amp;amp;lt;user nickname can use admin commands on the server itself.
