Locked for a better future Compendium of Useful Guides A Compendium of useful guides to help run a successful server
Introduction
Most people hate Sticky's blocking up the top of their page. A few are OK, but once you start getting more, they just block the top of the page. If we put this in to perspective with the 'Server Administration' section, we can see there are already quite a few sticky's. If we were to give all the helpful guides a sticky, this forum section would be clogged up.
That's why, we're making this Compendium. It's a central place for you to find all the useful info you need, to help run your server. Just look through the list, and help yourself to Gourmet knowledge.
Compendium How to Build and Maintain a Good Server
This is a nice lengthy guide, on the basics, of setting up the administrative and creative side of your server. This guide is not about setting up the technical side of your server, but rather how to keep it running in the long time, with helpful tips. A must read.
How to Port-Forward your Minecraft Server (With Pictures)
An In-Depth guide on how to Port-Forward for those of you that struggle with doing it. It has pictures and should help a lot! Be warned though, the guide may be slightly out-dated in some areas.
Tutorial: Create Multicolored MOTD's!
A quick guide showing you how to make, fun and playful MOTD's for your server. This is also a useful guide for using colour codes in modded servers.
Add an Online/Offline indicator to your Server Topic
Shows you a nifty script, that allows you to add an Indicator to your server topic, so you don't have to constantly update whether your server is offline or online. Very useful.
Tutorial: Linux box hosting
A neat, in-depth tutorial, teaching you how to host a Minecraft server, on a Linux Box. Great for all those who use and prefer a Linux VPS.
How to Set Up a Server [NEW!] [0.1.1]
This great guide showcases how to setup the 'technical' side of your server. It's very simple to read, and has lots of tips and tricks to make the process a whole lot easier. It is currently outdated slightly, but there is not much difference in setting up a server, between the updates so this should be fine. If anyone is willing to make something more Up-to-date, submit it!
Staff Basics
This guide will show you about how one should act to try to get a staff slot on a server and how server owners should handle themselves and their staff
[Tut] How to bring maps from Single player to SMP! [/tut]
Help for those of you struggling to move your maps, from Single Player to SMP. This is a great way to show people your maps, and also, not let your hard work go to waste, if you're moving towards playing SMP.
Submitting a Guide
I'm sure there are plenty more guides out there, waiting to get recognition! If you think you or someone else has a useful guide, that should be mentioned, please PM a forum moderator with a link and a quick description of the guide. If it's original and hasn't already been mentioned, and it's a useful guide, I'll incorporate it into my Compendium!
Happy Minecrafting everyone!

give <player> <id> [num] = gives a player a resource
...I mean those resource id numbers
If you're looking for a list of ID numbers matching block names, simply search google. I use this page personally, but there are many others you can find.
With core minecraft SMP, just do /give <playername><ID><number you want to give>, just as you posted above. Hope this helps. :wink.gif:

I didn't ask for her to eat the cheese, but I got her with the cheesecake anyway. I know she likes it as much as I do.
I'm really confused. I've got my server set up, but when I go in it it's just the sky. I don't understand any of this map editor or copying the single player map. It's very confusing to me.
Okei, this don't answer my question. Because when I try to open the port, i get the message: No2. IP you entered is invalid. And when i fill out No 2 and 3 (+ 1 of.) And then i get a message like this, 25565 (port name) - 25565 (portname) is overrated or something like that.
give <player> <id> [num] = gives a player a resource
...I mean those resource id numbers
Google Minecraft Id's.. You will find lots of lovely lists of the items.
