How do i test my minecraft server?

I have a minecraft server but no minecraft account. How do i test the server world. (i.e. login to world just to test)

Solution 1:

You could use DinnerBone's Minecraft Server Status Checker.
With this tool you are at least able to see if the server is online, how many players are allowed and what the message of the day is.

The only way to know for sure if the world loads correctly would either be to actually log in to the server, or to use @IronAnvil 's suggested idea.

You could run the server, stop it, move the world files to the saves folder and play the world in single player demo mode. That is the only legal option I can think of. It still doesn't test the operation of your server though.

Solution 2:

Can't you ask your friend to log in to your server who has an account? Surely he must have an account.

Solution 3:

You can, in the server properties, turn the server into offline mode by simply changing:

online-mode=false
