say lower view distance and lower the amoutn of ram for the server, i used to have the server crash becasue it ran out of ram with 16 people on i lower the view distance in the server properties to 6 and it is only useing now 661m for 16 players, i am using linux so maybe there might be a difference there, and not being able to see as far but i haven't been getting too many complaints, and for the server not crashing as much it is better :smile.gif:
okay i know got it lol but now the prob is evrytime i try to run the Minecraft_server.bat it opens a little black menu and within 0.5 sec it closes again... it does nothing lol, can anyone help me out?
I KNOW THE LIKELY SOURCE OF YOUR PROBLEM!!!! AND MINE!!! HUZZAH! I stumbled onto this thread looking for causes to some issues my server was having. You're map may be bad. Mine certainly is. Ok so here's what I did. I did the .bat file trick to run it with more ram. And I get these errors they go by too quickly in the command window to read them but they're java errors.
I started a server with a new map and all my troubles are gone. I'm going to run Chunkster and see if that helps. I'll post the results here.
Ok try chunkster. Make sure to back up your map before you run it. What it's going to do is delete all the chunks that have been messed up. That will leave BIIIIIIIIIIIG gaping holes in your map. Fortunately a programer who happens to be on my server is writing a script that will copy chucnks from one map to the other from backups. So basically from before they were corrupted. Hope this helps!
Those Who Wants A Nice EXE File TO Launch it,Rename The Bat File To "Minecraft.bat" And Place The Bat File In Your C:\ Root Drive, And Download This File : http://www.mediafire.com/?q2h967h98mpdclw I Made It Launch Any .bat file in the root Directory that Is Named Minecraft.bat!!
So I made a notepad file as run.bat with this text in it, and it now loads without that msg, however it does not load the percentages or whatever like it shows in all these youtube tuts I've watched to assist with this problem, and I still can not log into my server.
My comp is an i7 quad-core, 8gb dedicated RAM, 4gb Readyboost via SD card, and a Catalyst 5700 with 1gb DDR5 RAM. I should be able to run a Minecraft server right? But no... it still fails many times over. This is the kind of **** that makes me think that even after a half a century of programming innovation, that they STILL don't have this **** down. Pisses me off!
Is there honestly no one, that can offer a simple step-by-step tutorial on this ****, and have it work without fail? Really? After watching and following literally a dozen vids on youtube, all about the same with their own little quarks here and there to resolving **NOT ENOUGH RAM** or -host is running to slow. contact your server Admin- or **Connection has timed out** or any of this crap? It's almost like it effin LUCK with this ****. That drives me crazy. There are no STANDARDS to doing this. Everyone has their own answer, their own code, or their own platform, OS, system requirements, resource requirements... blagh blagh blagh!!! You know what, to heat my house, I put wood in the fireplace, and BURN IT! The stove doesn't require a certain kind of wood, or type of wood, or operating system of wood. It just burns WOOD! Why can't computers operate under similar protocols? TO hell with this ****. I'm just going to go bounce a ball off of a wall, that is, so long as the wall doesn't suddenly glitch and not rebound the ball because of some damn **CRITICAL ERROR**!
You know what, to heat my house, I put wood in the fireplace, and BURN IT! The stove doesn't require a certain kind of wood, or type of wood, or operating system of wood. It just burns WOOD!
To be fair, pretty much all you ask of that furnace is to burn wood at one end and produce heat out the other.
If you're sincere about purchasing a computer for no other purpose than to play Minecraft, I think it could be made very, very simple indeed.
However, I want to specifically say, that's an A+ rant you pulled off, bravo! :smile.gif:

cd into your server folder, paste the command it TELLS you to use, and hit enter. its what I do, so don't complain that it does not work, because the problem is probably on your part. (bat files are very touchy, just do it manually)
Sure thing. In terminal, cd into the folder where your server is, you can type
cd /Users/yourname/filepath/to_your/server_folder/not_the_actual_server
and then you need to type:
java -Xmx1024M -Xms1024M -jar minecraft_server.jar
This will launch the server with 1GB of ram, or 1024 bytes. If you have memory to spare, you can do different values. take the amount of RAM you want to use and multiply by 1024, and use that number instead of 1024. Note that you need to keep the M at the end of both numbers. Also, please make sure that you do not have your computer allocate more RAM than you have free, as this will cause your computer to hang, crash, and possibly corrupt the world.
If this does not make sense, please contact me, as I have a working server with this method, and I want people to have their own servers as well.
tl;dr?
8GB
*facepalm*
i get that as well, i dont know wats happening :/
I started a server with a new map and all my troubles are gone. I'm going to run Chunkster and see if that helps. I'll post the results here.
start.bat = "C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre6\bin\javaw.exe" -Xmx10240M -Xms10240M -jar minecraft_server.jar nogui
Any help? :blink.gif:
Note: I have 24GB of DDR3 R.A.M. and a i7-990x = 3.6 GHz, and Windows 7 U.
I don't think so but it is notepad, so u can just copy and paste the text. but im not a mac user so i don't know
Thanks that helped me alot, I am nolonger dunbfounded :blink.gif:
i had same problem and did what you said but a window pops up in the cornner of the screen the vanishes a second later
