Why Do You Talk Like This? It Annoys Me To No End.

Support, I would love a pvp toggle so that people can't punch each other when I'm doing the final tasks to setup a UHC and I think that there should also be a gamerule to enable or disable weather.

No support. I am personally fine with them breaking, and it adds a challenge.

OK, problems. I followed the link to the instructions here on this site:


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

First I tried the instructions for Windows 7 (because I couldn't find instructions for Windows 8). Tried the .exe first, but that wouldn't run, so I tried the .jar, and that won't run either. I can see a window trying to open up, but it just closes down again.

jerreco, in your list of requirements, I see CPU 3.1 GHZ, but my laptop has only 2.5. So, is that the deal-killer right there?

Also, can I try downloading the .exe from the Mojang website and try just running it without making the folder on my desktop first - I accidentally clicked 'run' instead of 'save' on my first try, and it seemed like it was just going to run - certainly there was more going on than when I tried to run it from the folder.

What I need is an in-house geek. Raising three of them, I hope!

Edit: PS, I did also try to do the .bat thing with a text doc in the folder. Nada.

If you are running 1.7.10, open eula.txt and change false to true. The CPU shouldn't be a problem for you. I run heavily modded servers (and play on them at the same time) with only 2.4 GHZ. Since 1.6, I think that there has not been an .exe server file, just a .jar file. In your server folder, right click, roll over new, and click "Text Document". Copy and paste this into it.

java -Xmx1024m -jar minecraft_server.1.7.10.jar -o true
PAUSE

Close it, and now right click the text document and click rename. Call it start.bat. Double click start.bat and your server is now running with 1 gigabyte of RAM. It will give some errors the first time you start it. Don't worry, that is normal. The server is creating files that it doesn't have. If you want the server to be running with 2 gigabytes of RAM by any chance, replace -Xmx1024m with -Xmx2048m. Now, you need to port forward. Go to the start menu, and open up the command prompt (For me, all I need to do is open up start menu and type "cmd" but this may be different for you on Windows 8). Type "ipconfig" and look for default gateway and your computers IPv4 address (remember and/or write down the IPv4 address). Choose the XXX.XXX.X.X one not the one that looks confusing. For me, my default gateway turns out to be 192.168.1,1. Enter your default gateway into your web browser as if you were going to a webpage, and if your router is password protected, enter the password. You should go to portforward.com and look for instructions specific for your router to get clearer instructions than the instructions I will give you here. Look for a tab called "Gaming" or "Port Forwarding". Go to that tab. Type port 25565 and next to that enter the IPv4 address of the computer that the server will be running on. Now, go to ipchicken.com and the IP that it gives you is your external IP. That is the IP that your friend needs to connect to in the minecraft client to play on the server. In your server.properties, it is very important that you leave "server-ip=" and server-port=" blank. I encourage that in server.properties you change "white-list=" to "white-list=true". That will let only people who are on the whitelist connect to the server. After you startup the server, in the box in the bottom right corner, type "whitelist add <enterusernamehere>". Replace <enterusernamehere> with your username, one of your kids' usernames, or your friend's username. Press enter and whoever's name you entered can now play on the server. Anyone in your house can connect to the server with the computers IPv4 address or the external IP. Your friend can only connect with the external IP.

This might be a bit too tech savvy for you :/

A good way to make a Minecraft server is with LogMeIn Hamachi. Download the Unmanaged version off of the official LogMeIn website. (it is not a virus) Then download the Minecraft Server program off the official Minecraft website.

Open Hamachi first, and then make a network in it. Give your friend the network details, and then that is the next step to playing Minecraft!

Make a folder, put the Minecraft Server program in it, and run it. This will put a bunch of other files in the folder. Once it says 100%, close the program.

Right-click on server.properties and click Open with - Notepad/TextEdit. Find the 'gamemode' line and change the number to: 0 for survival, 1 for creative.

Finally, save server.properties and run Minecraft Server! For you and your friend to connect, you must both type in the network IP. For you this will be at the top of Hamachi, next to the Power button. Type all of the first section in (before the slash). DO NOT type in the computer name.

Your friend will get the network IP next to your computer name, so that shouldn't be too hard to find.



Now enjoy! If you understood it :/ But no internet until 12? That's harsh.

Hamachi is not a good idea. I almost got hacked with hamachi.

How do we know this isn't a scam?

There are no pros about that site, the main con is that it steals money from mojang.

To all of you staff members. We have a website at tcofm.guildportal.com. Go check it out!

I'm going to tell you about the original time this happened(about 1/2 hours ago). I was harvesting my sugar cane. I had Iron Boots on. I didn't pick up one of the sugar cane right after I broke it on. Now here's why I told you that I had Iron Boots on. The Sugar Cane went into the boots slot. And the Iron Boots evaporated. I do know that this also works with a bucket.

Just manually back it up some times.

Just buy a cheap flash drive, locate your saves folder, then convert it to a .zip file, then copy it to the flash drive.

Easy

Sorry, but this is kinda unnecessary.

I mean just back the saves up to the registered users. I don't think it would be that hard to do.

Things don't work the way you think they do. They cannot just change the profile database to have "room for saves", the database does not act as cloud storage, it acts as one huge array of data for all registered accounts. They'd need to host a file server which would contain the saves for each individual player. Which will get expensive considering millions of people have registered accounts.

Saves are also quite large and can get large as the world gets explored more. Some saves are gigabytes in size. Multiply the average size of a save by a couple million, and then multiply that by a number (considering you suggested multiple saves per user) and that's how much data Mojang would have to store. And someone's already pointed this out, the server would be flooded with traffic considering users would constantly move saves back and forth.

No support. If you have issues backing up, this is on you. You should know to store important files on more than one location, get an external drive or a USB flash drive and put the save on that. Mojang doesn't need to, nor has the ability to, store saves for all users.

If your kid is 12 and somebody is sending him to adult website, you should record it and sue him

It is simple. Every update it is the same thing!

When an update comes out Minecraft looks really really bad on graphics, even they did all those optimizations. I get 15-20 fps (not stable). So, when an update comes out, I just can't play it. I have to wait for Optifine to come out.

Per example: When 1.7 came out, I got 20 fps (not stable). 1 month later, when Optifine came out for 1.7, I got more than 100 fps! How is that even possible? Besides that, the game looks so more pretty.

What does the Optifine team do that Mojang can´t do?

Things would be so good if Optifine would be implemented in Vanilla. Mojang and Optifine working together.

And please, dont tell me to get a better computer.

Get a better computer

But seriously though, this honestly is something that needs to happen, it could be really helpful for some users who don't know how/aren't able to download Optifine, could make it easier for getting it with other mods, and the zoom feature in it could add some interesting stuff in adventure maps, its a sad thing that the developer of Optifine won't let them put it in vanilla

I really hope this is a bug, it's been happening for some time now and is really a pain in neck because I have this big project I want to do that needs a lot of stone slabs and would just be so much easier to do if I could just give myself double stacked slabs. Not even when using an external program to edit chest contents or my inventory to have stacked slabs works.

If it's not a bug what's the new /give command to give myself stacked stone slabs?

Hate cracked users with a firey passion. I hope the cracked versions they have will cause their computers to melt.

I think they need to get a job.

There is no grey area. Using a cracked account for ANY reason is stealing. Its the same as going into a grocery store and stealing $25 worth of goods. Its disgusting how people today think that because its a digital product, it doesn't count.

I don't see what's so scary. I think it's hillarious.

The fact that I was in the nether, thinking i was going to die due to my screen heavily spazing out with a ghast shooting at me and me being on fire in survival. that good enough?
