Running a Minecraft server on AWS is a great way to host a stable, 24/7 multiplayer world that you can fully control and customize. By launching a free-tier EC2 instance, installing Java, and downloading the official Minecraft server software, you can quickly set up your own server that friends can join from anywhere using your EC2 public IP. With AWS, you get scalability, better uptime, and global access, all while maintaining full server-side modding capability and performance control. It's an ideal choice for small gaming groups or even public communities, and if you stay within the free tier limits, you can run it at little to no cost.
