How to Make a Necesse Server
Necesse is a sandbox action-adventure game where you develop your character and settlement through fighting, mining, exploring, crafting, fishing, trading, and more. The world is procedurally generated, featuring small islands with different biomes, caves, enemies, and loot. Play solo or invite friends for scaled bosses.
Methods of Creating a Server
There are a few ways to play Necesse with friends. Players can either host their worlds in-game or set up a dedicated server. The main benefit of a dedicated server is that it remains online and accessible at all times. In contrast, when hosting a world, the owner must be online and present in the world for others to join.
Renting a Necesse Dedicated Server
Renting a dedicated server from a host is the quickest way to play Necesse with friends, regardless of who is online. Steps vary by host, but we'll outline the Nodecraft process.
