Hope this helps you out. I'll add you on skype, and we can arrange something if you still want help :).

Ew, people actually use the forums? pffft i bet you all missed me more, on the forums. Lol, but seriously its good to see you euphrates.

1. I'm going to assume you followed the steps for creating the minecraft server.

-You download the minecraft_server 1.7.10.exe from the main website.

-create a new folder on your desktop.

-put the minecraft_server 1.7.10.exe download in it.

-click the minecraft_server 1.7.10.exe to run it.

-select the folder on your desktop that your minecraft_server 1.7.10.exe is in.

-right click the text document eula, and edit with notepad.

-change false to true, then save it.

-try running your server again and it should work.

You can open the REGULAR minecraft game client from anywhere and put it in any folder. HOWEVER the minecraft.exe.1.7.10 server should be in its own separate folder on your desktop or wherever you decide to put it. YES the server should be opened up in that folder! Also you must've turned white listing on. White listing is basically a list where you put minecraft usernames in. only minecraft usernames entered on that list will be able to join your server. How do you solve that problem? you can either turn white list off. Or you can add your username in that list which i will show below. A minecraft server is a completley different download from downloading the game launcher. They're 2 completely separate downloads yes.

Turning white listing off.

-find your server folder on your desktop, open it.

-scroll down to server.properties, right click and edit with notepad (or notpad++)

-find white list and change true to false. save it and you should be able to join your server.



Adding names to the white list:

-find your server folder on your desktop, open it.

-scroll down to white list, right click edit with notepad.

-type your username in it, then save.(it is case sensitive!)


2. No you don't need a static ip. your firewall should be fine, as long as its not blocking minecraft. I don't know what router you have but all you need to do is create a new port, enter your ipv4 address, select BOTH udp and tcp, then enter 25565 in the open and closed ports. Your router may be different so you'll have to look that one up. You DON'T need to portforward if you're only playing with family. if you want friends or other people that are on a different internet to be able to join your server then you NEED to portforward.

3. NO don't mess with norton! leave it be for now! fixing norton and trying to create a minecraft server is just a bad idea. Wait until you've made the minecraft server then if you'd like to start norton up again you can. Norton will not effect your firewall unless you allow it to. Norton is an anti-virus software. All it should do is scan your computer for viruses when you want it to.

(also if need to talk to someone for help there is plenty of people who are willing to do that. Myself as well. Just add me on skype if you so desire, or we can do some other means of communication.)

Hope you figured it out! and to answer the question about not enough memory, 2.5gigs is enough to run the server, but it will cause your computer to go really slow, (im not sure if it will cause a lot of lag in-game, but it may cause some). your server probably isn't working well because you need to add memory to it. and creating a run.bat is the way to do it. The link you provided explains it perfectly, just Scroll down to method B.:

http://www.minecraftforum.net/forums/support/server-support/tutorials-and-faqs/1940466-how-to-create-a-minecraft-server-easy-guide



Once you've added this (below) in your run.bat notepad text document you can change the memory by changing where it says 1G to like 500MB. But considering that there's 1g in there it should be fine. I'd recommend putting 500Mb in there because you're running a laptop with 2.5g.

To give you a better example you change this:

java -Xms1G -Xmx1G -jar minecraft_server.jar

To this:

java -Xms500Mb -Xmx500Mb -jar minecraft_server.jar

Edit: If you can't get the server to work i'd recommend starting a new one again. follow the steps for creating a server on a windows computer with the link i provided earlier (or up above/side note: method B recommended). And if you're having trouble with the server properties here's a link that gives info on what each property does.

http://minecraft.gamepedia.com/Server.properties

Also you need to know if your playing Minecraft on the SAME computer you created the server on, you can only direct connect with localhost. Your family (assuming they're using the same router.) can only direct connect to your server with your ipv4 which is usually like 192.168.0.0 or something. If you want friends to join you need to portforward, and they can only direct connect with the ipv4 as well. I'd recommend taking the process step by step. First see if you can join it with localhost. Then see if your family can join your server with your ipv4 adress. Finally try port forwarding, and see if a friend, or someone using a different internet can join with your ipv4.

If you're having trouble doing this I could start up my server again, have you join it, and I could talk you through it step by step. Or if you have a skype i can even add you in there. I know how frustrating it can be,( i remember my 1st time) the internet can only do so much :/.

1.depending on how much memory, and how fast your Asus windows 8 computer is it should run it fine. I have some specs in my post, and you can also look up the specs for running a minecraft server. I'm sure you'll find something :).

2. As for your ubuntu linux I hope that the info/links i provided above can help you. I know that sometimes people post very vague info on how to create a server. If none of it helps i can always pull out my old linux computer and give it a try :).

Hey, there I've ran servers locally, and publicly before, so I can help you out a bit. I don't know a lot about Linux, but i know enough to help you, and point you in the right direction. You should also know that Running a Minecraft server locally, just for privacy, or for friends is totally free. If you want to run it publicly that's another story for another time. Before I begin i'd like to give you some info about the different types of servers out there, because it can get really confusing.

What types of servers are there?

Vanilla server- just the regular minecraft server.exe download from the minecraft website. (i'd recommend this one if you're not going to do too much with servers).

Bukkit server- (mainly a server that's meant for public) It allows you to install/add different plugins (like mods or permissions) to your server, giving you a lot more options if you want to really get into building a server.

Hamachi server- With hamachi you create your own network through hamachi, and you run your minecraft server through it. Some people prefer it but i'm not really much for it. Note that other people need hamachi to play on your server. (your best bet is a vanilla server.)

Requirements to run a basic server: (note: You need to have the highest version of java installed.)

• CPU: AMD athlon II x4 3.1GHZ
• RAM:4GB
• HDD 1TB
• speedtest doesnt change much its internet speed
• Video: Ati Radeon HD 5450

Which server do I choose, and how do I make one?

If you're making a private server, i'd recommend a vanilla server. Below are the steps to make a vanilla server: I am aware that these steps are for a windows computer, but it's easy enough for someone using linux to figure it out. I also provided you with a link for creating a server on Linux if you get stuck.

1. Download the server.exe file from minecraft.net. (It may be different on linux but i'm sure you've downloaded things before.)

2. Create a folder on your desktop.

3. Put the minecraft.exe into that folder. Click the minexraft.exe server and it should run BUT WAIT. Or you can create a run.bat, cmd which in my opinion is better. (EDIT: WHEN YOU TRY TO RUN THE MINECRAFT.EXE IT MIGHT STOP YOU UNTIL YOU AGREE TO EULA TERMS IF NOT IGNORE THIS. solution: In your server folder find the eula text document. edit it with notepad, change false to true, save and minecraft.exe should run.)

4. (OPTIONAL) you can create a run.bat, to run your minecraft server through, if you're more comfortable with using cmd. you can also change the amount of memory your server has with this. to do that you create a new text document, paste this in there:

java -Xms1G -Xmx1G -jar minecraft_server.jar


AND SAVE AS RUN.BAT

5. (OPTIONAL) click run.bat and your server will run, you need to let it load everything before trying it out.

6. your server should now be running, you should let it load all the way, and you should be able to join with localhost, when you're going to direct connect.

ALSO i know that these instructions mainly work for windows computers so if it didn't help i will give you this link:

http://www.minecraftforum.net/forums/support/server-support/tutorials-and-faqs/1940453-ubuntu-server-linux-minecraft-server-set-up-and

Just Remember to scroll down to the VANILLA SERVER section in this forum!


This link also has some useful info about servers, and getting it started on a windows computer. Maybe it will help you get an even better understanding of how to set up a server.

How do I make my server playable online?

Well to do that you'd need to port forward. Port forwarding allows other people to play on your internet, great for friends, or a private server if that's what you want. to port forward you need to:

1.Log into your router. (This can be done by opening cmd prompt, and typing ipconfig, copying and pasting the default gateway ip into google, and then log in. it may be different on linux so look that one up.)

2. you need to open a port with the numbers 25565 with your ipv4 address ( you can find this the same way as provided in step 1, the ipv4 is above the default gateway) I don't know what router you have so i have a website here that will give you information on how to port forward for your specific router. go to:

http://portforward.com/

(note that you need the model number of your router, which is usually on the bottom.)

3. when you're done port forwarding other people can only join with your ipv4 , so make sure your friends, or family know what it is so they can join.


I hope this helps, i know the pain you're feeling i had to go through the same thing without any help. Luckily though i figured it out, hope this helps :P.

Edit: I've managed to get the Tekkit server working on another computer. I followed the same steps (1-5) from above and it worked flawlessly on my other computer. However i would like to run it on the 1st computer I attempted to run it on. Now that I know there's something wrong with it i'm hoping anyone who knows a bit about networking, and computers, can help me out. Your help would be more than appreciated. Thank you :).

So what you want to do is to be able to add players to the white list in cmd, or while playing on the server? I think what happened is when you typed the command /whitelist add <username> it was typed wrong, or your server just gives an error for some reason. The best way in my opinion is to open your server file, right-click the white-list text document, edit with notepad, or notepad++, and just add names manually, or remove them. Otherwise you can try finding the right command for whitelisting people by typing /help in cmd when you launch the server. (side note make sure whitelisting is on before you actually do this)

Problem: Computer wont port forward.

I've opened all the ports on my router, the correct way, as instructed from guides on here, and from my past experiences. I've created a server before, so I know that all the ports are correctly opened in my router. How do i know? I've checked to see if my port is open on yougetsignal.com, The port on my COMPUTER is OPEN. But the issue i'm having is when I run the TEKKIT server The port CLOSES and when I turn the server off, obviously the port is open again. So the issue is somewhere in my server properties, or I didn't set up the server correctly.(take note that all the server properties are set up according to the guides on here).to give you a better idea i will describe the steps I took:

1.Went to router and port-forwarded 25565, on both tcp and udp.

2.Downloaded tekkit server.

3.opened zip, copied/pasted into a new file on desktop.

4.Changed the memory in my "launch" to 1g.

5.Launched server and was able to join localhost, but not join the ip on a different computer

Tekkit is acting like it's worthless :/. I'd really like it if I could get some help with this. Also a side note, don't give me bull questions like is everything updated, or what are your computer specs, everything's up to date, and my computer will run it, otherwise I wouldn't of attempted to download a server. all the information is in these steps I took.

Looking forward to trying this server out!

Hey everyone, I've been hearing suggestions about a resource world, so i am considering it. As of now, I won't be adding a resource world until more players arrive. Until then, I thank everyone for putting the time and effort in playing on this server :).

I know some of you have been wondering why the server was down. Our router was being updated, so now the server should be up again. I appreciate everyone's patience, and hope to see everyone on again :).
