    posted a message on $100USD Minecraft PC?

    For 100$ and under, you'll definitely need to go used.

    The PC King_of_Ragni would probably be the best you'd get online (Albeit not great, MC is not going to run very well), but I'd also check your local Craigslist listings. People sell all kinds of hardware for cheap.


    Now, if somehow you can get some more money put in, this would be your best bet at around 300$ depending on merchant:

    http://pcpartpicker.com/user/Jtpetch/saved/vr7WZL

    Cheap, uses relatively modern hardware. and it'll run MC quite well.


    To save money on it, I'd check if you have an old PC lying around. You'd be surprised what you can find in them.

    If you could salvage the case (whether or not it works depends on size, mainly), power supply (needs to be at least 200+Watts), and harddisk, that'd save about 70$.

    If you use Linux or another free OS, that'll save about 85$.

    If you can also salvage the ram from the old PC (I suggest 4gb min for MC), that'd save another 20$


    But yeah, 100$ is not much at all for a smartphone, let alone a PC. You won't get much performance for that pricepoint.

    Never seen that one before.

    Do you have java installed? What version? Try reinstalling it.

    Also, check task manager while you try to run the installer. See if there's an additional javaw.exe or java.exe (or similar) process that pops up, and see how long it stays there.

    posted a message on Strange Glitching from latest Windows update on my computer.

    Well that's something I've never seen before o_O

    By latest Windows update, I'm assuming you mean Win10 Anniversary Update? Or just Win10?


    Could you post a DXDiag log? (Tutorial in my signature)

    Sometimes Win10 doesn't play well with older computers (it refuses to work with my Win8 laptop), so it could be a driver/compatibility issue.

    Also, are you running any mods?

    Yeah, doesn't exist, and also doesn't make sense that you could connect to it, because, according to your taskbar, you're offline.

    Did either of you get any kind of infection from this? Really wish mojang would say something about this, they just swept it under the rug it seems.


    No, it's completely safe if you don't click anything inside the launcher. Just click play as usual.

    posted a message on Help with piston door, is it possible?

    I'm not the best at redstone either, but I'll take a shot at it.

    It looks like you're trying to have a 2x2 door in the middle of that corridor, yes?


    If so, this would be a (semi) simple way to do it:


    It uses a T flip flop to make a button work like a lever, and then just runs the redstone to both sides of the door.


    (It doesn't look like that's what you were trying to do, based on the amount of redstone, but I'm not sure)

    posted a message on Does Minecraft charge for trials?

    Realms is something relatively new, and it's a separate thing from Minecraft itself.

    Yes, the 30$ gets you full access to singleplayer, server multiplayer, and pretty much everything except realms.

    Realms is a sort of easy, safe server hosted by Mojang themselves (normal servers are hosted by us, the community), and is not a necessary purchase.

    It's a monthly subscription service, paid by only the user who runs the realm (it's free for everyone else, they just need an invite)

    Singleplayer and Multiplayer are, and will always be included in the initial purchase.


    As for your crash report...

    [13:11:00] [Server thread/INFO]: Changing view distance to 16, from 10[13:11:00]

    Followed by:

    [Server thread/WARN]: Can't keep up! Did the system time change, or is the server overloaded? Running 2693ms behind, skipping 53 tick(s)


    Leads me to believe that the client may have ran out of ram, as according to the log, it has 1gb (ggiabyte, 1000 megabytes) allocated.

    It may help to add more, and you can do that like this:


    First, check how much ram you have.

    Go to the start menu, search "Processor", and click on "Check Processor Speed"

    A window like this will pop up:

    The details inside it will differ, but it will look more or less the same.

    The amount of ram you have is next to "Installed memory (RAM):" (in my case, 16.0 GB)

    Take note of this, we will use it later.

    Also, next to "System type:", take note of whether or not it says 64-bit or 32-bit. We will use this later as well.


    Now that you have that information, open the Minecraft launcher, and click on "Edit profile" to the left of the big Play button.

    Tick the mark next to JVM Arguments at the bottom, delete everything in the box next to it, and paste this in:

    -Xmx8G -Xmn128M

    Change the 8G for how many GB of memory you want Minecraft to use.

    Earlier, you found how much ram your computer has. I don't suggest you assign more than half of this.

    A good amount to assign would be 2GB if you have 4GB total, 3GB if you have 6GB total, or 4GB if you have 8GB total.

    If you have more than 8GB total (like I do), it shouldn't be necessary to allocate any more than 4GB unless you're modding, or doing other non-standard things.

    In the end, it should look more or less like this: (The variables will vary, but the bottom is what's important)


    After you do this, launch Minecraft and start a singleplayer world. See how it runs, and if it crashes.

    You may need to turn down the render distance (Located in the ESC key menu, under options, then video)


    If everything's good, then problem solved!

    If not, then please post a DXDiag log following this tutorial. This will give us more information (nothing confidential, personal, or otherwise things we shouldn't know) about your computer's specs so we can see if anything else could be causing it.

    The best Predator under 2000$ (1600$) is pretty much the same, except less ram and less SSD storage.

    Hurr durr you should build a pc fo that much, itd be much beder


    Nah, this one would most likely be your best bet:

    ASUS ROG G752VT-DH74


    The 1700$ (USD) model has aan i7-6700HQ (up to 3.5ghz), 6gb 970m, 24gb DDR4, a 1tb HDD, and 256gb of (M2) SSD.

    Reviews say it cools great as well.

    This'll play Minecraft, alright. And any of today's games. Including VR.

    posted a message on Running Forge server with terrain mods

    EDIT: Too late :P

    In your server.properties file, you need to replace the level-type= with

    level-type=RTG


    That will generate the terrain using the Realistic Terrain.

    Quote from sharpyHashtag»

    I came across this too and I'm 11 and I didn't start up minecraft because I was afraid it will start a p*rn video while trying to start minecraft so I didn't start minecraft.


    I just wish I can get in with the police see if they can start tracking this idiot and see if he can get arrested because this is unacceptable and I'm sure this hacker already got some kids and teens in trouble with their parents.


    Lets have a moment of silence to how many kids and teens that got in trouble with their parents just because of a hacker.



    Starting MC is fine, I'm playing right now. Just don't click anything in the launcher.

    EDIT: It appears to have been fixed. Loaded up the launcher 3 times again now, and it's back to regular.

    So I booted up the MC launcher to this lovely sight...


    (The blanked out bits are rather NSFW)

    It's not just me, I was skyping with a couple friends, and they both had the same rather not kid-friendly update screen.


    Just putting this here as a bit of a warning, if your kids are going to play Minecraft today, start it yourself.

    posted a message on Whatever happened to UE?

    As per a user on the MC forums thread:

    " Yeah, Calc is working on a modding abstraction layer called NOVA (Neatly Organised Voxel API) with some other guys. If you look at his GitHub page you can notice he's doing a lot of work. He's mostly writing code (Vic is just giving promises XD) for NOVA now and from what I gathered, he'll update his mods when NOVA is done and they will use NOVA. Don't hold me for word, I'm assuming this because he said he can already make ICBM in NOVA, but NOVA is far from complete.


    Before anyone asks "What is this 'abstraction layer'?", it is a pile of code which will allow mod developers to write the mod once and it will work for all Minecraft versions supported by NOVA MC wrapper. Mods will still probably break, but not every version of MC.


    Moderators probably shouldn't close this topic yet because it might get updated and I'll ask Calclavia to check up on his forum threads."
