You are kidding, Right?

Clearly, because I've been waiting for the moment for you to log on to post this so I can waste your precious forum lurking time.

So I'm having trouble starting my minecraft server within screen. I try running it and I get the following output below. And I even stop the server, try running it, and it happens again.

bash-3.2# java -Xms768M -Xmx768M -jar minecraft_server.jar nogui

So I just lost everything I had in my server. It was a pretty developed area that I was working on so I'm pretty pissed that this happened. But anyway, my laptop battery died as I was going to get the charger and i told another op to /save-all. Well he did and then the computer shut off and as I turned it back on and started the server up everything was gone and back to a default world. Are there any files in my world folder to restore it, or at least from a previous point?

So I've been working on a world for a little while now and it's starting to look very nice. I was wondering if theres a way to make a modded server and not lose everything I've created. Or if I can just add mods to that world.
Thanks.

Ok so on my server A LOT of the time when I dig up something or place something it resets back to what it was.

For example: When I dig up dirt it shows it gone, and then just replaces it back in. Same if place an object it places and disappears back into my inventory. I increased the RAM by making a .bat file with:

java -Xmx1024M -Xms2048M -jar minecraft_server.jar

Anyone know what I can do?

You can use the IP address of the server running your website, HTTP traffic (web) is port 80, minecraft is port 25565.

If you give out the Domain Name associated with the IP address when someone puts the address into a browser it should go to your website, if they put it in minecraft it should go to the minecraft server.

How do I set up the server for the sites IP?

Hello there. I registered on the forums so I could offer some help. I too had this problem, but I found a solution. Instead of deleting everything, merely remove the "version.file" in your bin folder. It should then replace the minecraft.jar with the original and you should not get the loading bar error.

thank god u exsites i would have never been able to play minecraft again if it wer'nt for u that is my rateing of u i love tnt so its better than 5 dimonds

Odd I can't get that to work even with deleting version.file. Should I restart my computer or something?

EDIT: I clicked OPTIONS where you login, and pressed FORCE UPDATE and it redownloaded everything and is working perfectly now.

The site IP I don't care if they still see it or anything. I was just wondering if there was a way to use my own hosting because I wanna have the server up 24 hours.

Is it possible to set up a server using my website's IP?

Or just upload necessary software or anything to my website to set it up.
