First let's make a folder for our server:

mkdir /home/user/beta173

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Download Java 8:

apk add openjdk8-jdk

*change 'apk add' to your distribution's package manager

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Nagivate to our folder and run this command:

cd /home/user/beta173

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Download the .jar file and run the command:

wget https://vault.omniarchive.uk/archive/java/server-beta/b1.7/b1.7.3.jar

java -Xms512M -Xmx1G -jar b1.7.3.jar nogui

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Stop the server after you see something like 'Done (0,...s)! For help, type "help" or "?"

stop

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Essencial files were created. We only need to edit one thing in the server.properties file:

nano server.properties

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Find this line:

online-mode=true

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Change it to:

online-mode=false

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Now check your ip adress:

ip a

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Your ip will be in this line:

2: eth0: ...
inet 192.168.1.123/24 brd 192.168.1.255 scope global eth0

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Start the server:

java -Xms512M -Xmx1G -jar b1.7.3.jar nogui

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Open miencraft beta 1.7.3 on device your will be playing on. In the multiplayer mode type:

192.168.1.123:25565

*Change 192.168.1.123 to your ip of course

You got your minecraft beta 1.7.3 server working!

You can edit the server.properties file to suit your needs. For example change the seed value:

example: level-seed=303
