I knew this "java edition" nonsense was the beginning of the end. Microsoft is starting to dig its claws in and you can be absolutely assured it will not stop.

You'll get nothing but corporatese propaganda. This is a business decision, not a financial one.

Oh it WILL be lost. Make no mistake about it. These greedy monsters will pull the plug on the archive too soon enough.

What an unbelievably stupid and greedy thing to do. Fits your MO perfectly, huh? One final garbage decision atop a decade of many. Edit: And frankly the idea that you'd have the nerve to say that closing down is what's best for the community is a cowardly slap across the face of everyone who's come here for 10 years. Man up. Own your choices. If you're going to do this thing, have the fortitude to speak honestly.

PLEASE do something about the horrific cobble texture! Make it look like actual cobble stones and not like someone vomited charcoal onto the screen.

In order for Minecraft to run on IOS, Windows, Linux, Minecraft needs to use code created by the developers of those operating systems to run functionally. Java is the programming language used to develop the game. Java is owned by Oracle. Oracle lets developers use their language and sell what ever they make with it. You are not allowed to sell the language it self as that is selling Oracles property.
MineCraft is able to work on so many platforms because of its graphics library. It uses OpenGL. In order for OpenGL to work on a computer, the developers of the hardware and software need to program in special command line instructions. Microsoft does this for support up to OpenGL 1.1 or something, where was independent graphics card developers have support up to the most recent version.
Apple is in charge of their own hardware and so they created the software for their support of OpenGL. Linux is up in the air as how it works. Probably similar to the Microsoft implemented it.
If Minecraft decided to use DirectX (OpenGL's Only competitor), then the game would only run on Windows machines. Why is this? Because Microsoft wrote DirectX and they only want it to run on their machines.
Your only other argument is "I don't have enough money, nor the resources to start a company, but I'm going to do it anyway because I want to". If you want to start a server you need the resources to do so.
If you purchase a server then you need to make the money in order to keep it up. If you can't do that, then you shouldn't make a server. Simple as that.
You are not allowed to sell another companies property in order to fund something.
People who play minecraft like to believe everybody should create a server. That is not the case, if you do not have the ability to make a server, you should perhaps instead join one that can.
The server I play on is able to stay up not by pestering it's members to pay in order to gain features that they have the right to, but because the owners have actual jobs. The person paying for the server wants the server to be up so they willingly give their money to keep it up. If your server is really fun, and its member actively want to play on it, they will donate, they don't need bribes.
And then there's reality in which your opinion isn't the only one and your book of self righteous ramblings doesn't constitute objective fact.

I'd love to check out your server, it sounds really nice. Player name: Sonata_Blue

Hello all! I'm running a spigot server with luckperms and jobs reborn, and I'm trying to figure out how to set this up. I have max jobs set to 3, as I only want a player to be able to have 3 jobs max. However, I have a number of ranks set up in luck perms and I want to make it so they can only join one job as a regular member, a second job x amount of ranks later, and the third x amount of ranks after the second. Like, a job at rank 1, a job at rank 5, and a third job at rank 11 for instance.
Any help anyone could offer would be much appreciated! Thank you all for reading.

Is everything alright? Is this server still active?

Looks interesting, I'll poke around when it's up.

Least Favorite Aspects of Online Play: Impermanence. I get attached to builds, especially since I usually attempt things that take quite a long time to finish (and I'm pretty bad at survival, which makes everything take longer). The trouble is, all minecraft worlds are temporary in the long term. It's just part of the game, sure, but it bums me out.
A bit more about yourself: Musician, ameture fossil hunter (I never found anything good), woodsman, boring old guy with too much time on his hands...I have it all!

Your rules are kind of ludicrously obtuse. I mean, I get it, but you've somehow managed to be overly specific and vague at the same time. You should take another shot at that syntax. Good luck!
EDIT: And by god don't say things like "Reasons may vary"! This just screams "I'll ban you because this chick I like isn't into me", even if that's not what you intend it to mean. The whole point of rules is for them to function as a social contract. This means they have to be concise! How can I follow a rule that is ambiguous?

Hello all!
I just joined a new server that recently started up and there's a bit of a problem. I can place saplings on naturally generated terrain. If I place a dirt block on to of a naturally generated block, I can place a sapling on that dirt block. If, however, that dirt block is suspended in any way, I can't place a sapling! It automatically despawns like I never placed it. I was hoping you could offer me some insight into why this is happening so I can go back to the admin with something a little more substantial than a complaint. They're both college students and very busy with important things so it would make a big difference if I could help them out somehow.
Thank you!

I still don't see "verification" anywhere in /menu and am stuck in the thing.

Pardon...but there is no verification button in "menu"?
I'm stuck in a stone crypt. It's lonely, and I think the lantern has been laughing at my hair. :<

I won't even play on my home server by myself without mods. As far as I'm concerned,t he mod community is why this game is a success. Without textures? I literally never use textures or shaders as I have a design philosophy that if it doesn't look good in vanilla Minecraft then it's not a good build. There's nothing objective about that position, it's just my own personal philosophy. But in that context, I find textures to be a non-issue entirely.

Hacking, especially xraying, is completely unacceptable. Most servers I've played on this is a permanent ban, no-strikes and you're out scenario. There is no one who doesn't know this isn't alright. It doesn't even need to be in the rules.

Today you learned the importance of regular backups! It's probably wise to install some manner of grief prevention as well. There's no avoiding bad experiences on a public server, and if you're not initiated enough to police it actively, then you need to take prevention to heart. As for getting his stuff back, spawn what was taken from him if you can.
Better luck in the future, but also I hope you walk away from this with some ideas about how to curate your son's environment. The internet is NOT private. Choose what you allow him to experience wisely.

Disallowing individual server requests is a poor policy. People show up on your forum, say they're lonely, and you curtly tell them they're not allowed to do that and lock the thread? Seriously? With PR like that who needs pitbulls, huh? In one fell swoop you've managed to remove utility from the forum AND make it that much more inhospitable.
bra-vo!
