    Problem 1, 18w22b is not on the version list by default

    I did however manually download the client and json file here
    https://minecraft.gamepedia.com/18w22b and then place then in the versions folder and go back to launcher


    It was on the list, lol. Mojang just did yet another update, and moved to a c version - 18w22c. It was to fix a number of crashes and bugs. These ones, in particular:



    When mojang updates to new 'letter' versions of the same snapshot, they tend to remove previous ones from the list; especially if they contained crashes or game-breaking bugs.

    Okay, rolled back to 18w21b




    Thanks! However, it seems they fixed the issue with the weird crashes via a 18w22b snapshot:



    That's just how things work, when trying to keep up with development builds lol. Here's the full changes for the new snapshot, since SlicedLime hasn't made a video yet: https://minecraft.net/en-us/article/minecraft-snapshot-18w22b





    Here's the video:

    Since my backup was fresh, I just pushed it to today's snapshot. Let me know if there are any issues!




    Update to my previous quote of your reply:



    When you have time, could you try restarting the server? If that doesn't work, I guess reverting to 18w21b will work. That one was working wonderfully for 5 hours or so, before you updated again.


    Okay, second update: I discovered why I was disconnecting. I had logged out whilst standing on top of my bed. Every time I tried to connect, it would crash the server and kick me after a split second of letting me see the game. In each of those split seconds, I held the forward key and eventually after like 100 tries, I moved off my bed. Once that finally happened, I was able to login with no issues:






    I'm able to play again, and there's no problems so far. =)

    How long you’ve been playing minecraft?
    a really long time I wanna say 7 years now on and off

    Your age (we have no age limit, but most players are over 18)
    19

    Something about you or why you want to join
    I've been wanting to get back into Minecraft, haven't played it in about 1 year and everyone else I used to play with has more or less moved on.

    Name something you've always wanted to build in MC but never have been able to.
    I'd have to say I've made it about a quarter of the way through a steampunk town that was set to be like 5000 x 5000 and had done most by my own. I'd like to get a sizable project like that going again. Possibly a really nicely done underwater world would be nice considering the new updates. Like having fantasy style submarines with an underwater port and what not.



    Hello, thank you for applying! I've added you to the whitelist:



    Please take a moment to read through this copy-paste quote, about the current status of our server:


    Quote from Quavelen»

    I'd like to note that most players are currently active on the 1.13 snapshot server which we have running right now. You can read about that (if you haven't already) in the first paragraph of the opening post. Also, I'm not an operator so you'll have to wait for the owner of the server (AegisJester) to add you to that one's whitelist if you want to play it.

    Please bear in mind that since it's a snapshot server, it's 100% pure vanilla. That means no commands, no grief protection, creepers actually destroy blocks, etc. If you're okay with this, then I'd suggest playing the snapshot server. If not, then the 'main' server is still currently online. It has the basic essentials commands (/home, /spawn, etc.), along with a number of helpful plugins such as mcmmo. Just remember that everyone will most likely be on the snapshot server, so you may end up playing alone.

    That said, when the 1.13 update officially happens, spigot releases a stable build, and our core plugins are updated, we will be fully migrating to the new map on the snapshot server. Anything built on the main server will be left behind, but you'll be able to request for your structures, chests, etc be copied over. More expansive things like tunnels and rails, will not be kept.




    Honestly, it feels kinda scummy for me to not say anything about our playerbase, so I'll try to explain. Long story short: Everyone and their nan has applied for this server, played a bit, quit, and never returned. The few that have returned, are a tiny group of maybe ~20 people who keep coming back infrequently. They don't all return at once, and sometimes we only have 5 people, or 10 people. This means even if all our active players do return for the full 1.13 release, it'll still only be a small number.


    Unless of course, more of our previous whitelist applicants return. I'm one of the aforementioned oldies who keep leaving and returning; started playing this server back in 2013 or so when someone else was the owner. So in the end, our thread's page-count is mildly misleading. Hopefully this helps to explain things.

    Well, you missed two questions on the format:



    • How long you’ve been playing minecraft
    • Something about you or why you want to join


    Either way, I don't see any reason why you shouldn't be whitelisted. So, welcome to MCL+! =)



    Here's a copy-paste quote about the current status of the server; please read it in its entirety when you have a moment:

    Now, regarding this bit from your two posts...



    i am also new to the community and don’t seem to be able to join the snapshot server





    Same for me mabye they should push the server back a snapshot




    Yes, that's because you haven't been whitelisted lol. The reason I am unable to join the snapshot server, is stated above. So there's no reason to revert to the previous snapshot. Unless of course, I'm completely wrong and the snapshot server isn't whitelist protected at all lol. However, I'm wagering it is protected. So you'll need to wait for AegisJester (or another OP) to add you to the whitelist, before you can join it. I'm not an OP, and only have whitelisting permission for the main server.

    Hmm... I'm unable to connect at all. It shows up as green with full bars, and so I attempt to login. Upon doing so, it gets to "Loading terrain" and then flashes and says "Server closed." After that, the server stays offline for about a minute despite refreshing the list. It then comes back online on its own, and the process repeats itself.




    Now, that said... there's the possibility it's only me because I was playing the previous snapshot for ~5 hours or so and started setting up a new base. It might be throwing an error because I'm out of bounds, or something. Like, out in unloaded chunks. Could you delete my player file, to see if that works?

    Well, there's once again a new snapshot - 18w22a. It just happened an hour ago. As such, there's no developer video yet, so the news post will suffice for now: https://minecraft.net/en-us/article/minecraft-snapshot-18w22a


    Here are all the changes listed on the website:



    As you can see, some of it is pretty vague like "fixed a really old bug". What that is exactly, will be shown the the developer video when it comes out in a few hours.


    However, this bug in particular looks like it could be a real issue: https://bugs.mojang.com/browse/MC-130197




    It's fixed in the snapshot that just happened, and we're just one behind it. Here's hoping no one purposely tries to trigger it.



    Edit: SlicedLime - the Mojang Dev - finished the video, so here it is:

    Hi everybody!


    I've been on vacation for the last week, and will probably be out for another couple weeks.


    That said, tonight/tomorrow I'm going to take a backup of the server and attempt to update to the latest snapshot.


    If the update is successful, I will reset all parts of the end outside the center 9 region files, so you can feel free to start exploring for cities anew.





    I hope you've enjoyed your vacation, and continue to do so. =)


    Also, awesome! I've been really hoping you would update it, so I'm glad you've decided to give it a go. Hopefully all goes well, and there's no issues. I'm really excited to finally be able to play it again, without my unplayable lag.

    Hello. I've gone ahead and added you to our whitelist:

    I've added you to the whitelist:



    Welcome to the server.


    Quote from ChloeKaldrson»
    Something about you or why you want to join I'm looking for a good vanilla minecraft server, hoping this is it!




    Well, this is less vanilla and much closer to the "semi" in Semi-vanilla. We have a lot of plugins that make the game feel more enjoyable, such as Mcmmo. However, we do currently have a snapshot server running, which is pure vanilla. Although, it's kinda outdated and on snapshot version 18w16a right now. You'll have to wait for Jester or another OP to whitelist you on there; I only have whitelisting abilities on the main server.


    Also, please note that the aforementioned snapshot server is what will Soon™ replace the current main 1.12.2 world. Once the 1.13 update happens, the map on the main server will be replaced with it. Don't worry though, any builds you make will be copied over - you'll need to request it, though. As a side note, the dynamic map doesn't ... "update" correctly any more, due to the sheer size of our world. That'll change, when the 1.13 update rolls around.


    Quote from ChloeKaldrson»
    Name something you've always wanted to build in MC but never have been able to Be the ruler of a server faction and making all my serfs build my stuff....




    Er... well, this server thankfully doesn't have factions lol. The people that used to play actively (who hopefully return for 1.13) also didn't actively partake in PvP. They'd "fun kill" one another occasionally, with a wacky named item or weapon, but that was really it. So if you're looking for PvP, you won't find it here.


    As another side note, most of our current active players are playing the snapshot server. So if you'd like to play with other people, that'll be your best option right now. Otherwise, you'll likely be playing alone for quite some time if you choose the main server.

    Aegis recently reduced the view distance and it made a huge impact. I was lagging from a normal 70+ FPS down to single or teen digits every time I moved from one build area to the next. Now my FPS does not drop below 50 after Aegis made the change. So you should be able to play now without the severe lag.


    You're not understanding, lol. Specific cpu models (obviously not yours, since your performance is fine now) are affected by a bug in snapshot version 18w16a. Mojang was made aware of this, and fixed it in a newer snapshot. Despite this, I took you at your word to see if it made any difference anyways. Sadly, it didn't. Minecraft still spiked to 100% cpu usage upon every movement. This occurs both in single player and in servers, specifically in snapshot version 18w16a. My performance is wonderful in all previous snapshots, and all snapshots that come after.


    I'd also like to remind you that my hardware is "monster level", and should not have any performance issues regardless of render distance. It's an i7-7700k, GTX 1080 Ti, 48GB of ddr4 ram, and a 256GB NVMe SSD. That's at the top-end for pc gaming hardware, with a ~$2,100 price tag. Again, I'll reiterate that there was a bug in snapshot version 18w16a, which was widely posted about on the Minecraft subreddit, which affected specific cpu models. Since our server is still in the aforementioned snapshot, this means I am still affected by the bug.

    So there is an error in this snapshot where end cities do not generate in certain directions. and the ones that do generate are not fully generated



    Yup, this was one of the bugs that the most recent snapshot - 18w21b - fixes. Sadly, Jester still has the server on a snapshot from over a month ago - 18w16a. Lots of new content, crash fixes, and bug fixes have happened since then. So, all we can do is wait for Jester to update.

    Partially why I haven't logged into the snapshot recently, is because I'm waiting for them to update to a newer snapshot. The one the server is still on, has some extremely severe performance issues on specific cpu models. My i7-7700k is one of the affected ones, and it jumps to 100% usage at the slightest movement. As a result, I also have 10-20fps on there.

    Here's a b version, of the above snapshot - 18w21b:



    It has a crash fix, and a small handful of other bug fixes. This was mostly just released to address the crash.
