Ok so I've been trying for a long time to get onto a Smp (Survival Multi-player) game. I've made it using tutorial videos with different softwares and techniques including the official one and it never worked. So, because I want to play survival mode with my siblings, I have looked up Smp server lists and tried different ones and most of them said the same thing.
They said: Internal exception: java.io.UTFDataFormatException: malformed input around byte __.
The __ was usually a 0-5 number. Does anyone know what this might be or have had it anymore? I really want to play with my siblings it'd be nice to know any ideas you guys might have. Thanks!
Hey i know how but first i think the error is because the servers isn't updated just a guess and i already made a lan server for me and my bro so i'll givr you the tut i saw and if doesn't work pm me and i'll help you
Download minecraft_server.exe (cause I assume your not going to use mods), put it into a folder (I called mine Minecraft LAN), run the .exe, change in server properties to onlinemode=false (instead of true), also change other settings as, to give yourself op in the console type "op NAME"
Run minecraft_server.exe while you want to play and use your local Ip address to connect.
Whenever you want to delete your map and start over simply delete the world folder!
That should be all you need for your LAN.
Also make sure its the newest server software.
LAN will let you play by yourselves without relying on others connections etc.
