Block Game Banter returns this week and covers the Holidays with some festive sweaters.

I've been experimenting with OBS settings to make Minecraft look it's very best when recording. So I want to know from the community, what settings and hardware do you use to record/stream?

Been playing on 1.16.4 with Optifine and Fabric. I would play latest but the server I am on won't update for some reason. But in the past it was 1.5.2, 1.6.4, 1.7.2, 1.7.5, 1.7.10 and 1.10.2. Most of those aligned with the best modded version at the time. It's crazy to think how 1.7.10 was the gold standard for modding. It still have a huge community playing on it.

If you have Java edition, install yourself a modpack and play though it. If that still doesn't do it for you, install an expert modpack. Otherwise join an active community and play with others. I've been on an SMP just building the randomest farms.

Also just remember it is ok to stop playing once in a while and recharge the Minecraft battery. It always brings a refreshing feel to the game.

Live on the SleepyCraft 1.16.4 SMP server terraforming the world to make room for the giant castle build!

I was very fortunate to be presented with the chance to play on the SleepyCraft SMP server. This episode is me logging in for the first time to be greeted and shown around by some of the others players. It was good times all around and a blast to be back into Vanilla Minecraft!

1Mb/s should be ample client side.


The number of mods on a server does not really change the required bandwidth by much. It does depend on the mod, but since the mods are serverside they will mostly affect the server resources. Your internet connection will only be sent extra information in some scenarios. If you are lagging it is most likely because of the ping or the resources on your own PC. (Some people will disagree here, I am ok with that).



This is a really hard question to answer. Data is used when there is an event that fires on either the client side or the server side and then information needs to be sent to inform the server or client of the event (this is a really simple explanation of what happens.). The server side is the one the has an effect on how much data will be used. It will depend on how many players are on the server, what sort of mods are working and how often certain things, such as holograms, are updated.


My server, which is a small Australian server, has used 4.64GB this month so far (4 and a half Days). We have about 10 regulars with about 10-15 others that come by every now and again.

Hope this helps in any way.

What country do you live in?

Is your first question asking about the ideal internet speed necessary to play on a server with little to no lag?

That depends. Sometimes it depends on the server, not you. If it's hosted in Australia, you'll need a godlike connection to play fine (unless you do live in down under).

For the other questions, same answer. It depends.

I have a mediocre internet connection, but I'm able to play on some servers with a good ping (~70), but on others I can't get below a 200 no matter how hard I try.

What internet speed is needed to play on a minecraft server?

What internet speed is needed to play on a Modded Server?(120 - 200 mods)

What is the data usage for each connection, per hour would be nice?

Haven't played Minecraft for a while, went on looking for my old servers, and a lot has changed. Lichcraft my primary won't let me connect and some reports online say it's going down, hy-pixel I cant find an Ip, and Mineplex I cant figure out how to get to the mini games. What are the current hit server/ server mini-games?

Copy your current /mods folder to your desktop. Create a new folder under /mods (mods2) Cut and paste ½ the mods in the /mods folder to /mods2. Try your modpack. If it works delete the mods in /mods, then copy and paste ½ of the mods in /mods2 to /mods. Try your mods pack. If it works delete the mods in /mods. Eventually you'll you'll duplicate the crash. when you do, delete the mods in /mods2 and cut and paste ½ the mods in /mods2 in /mods. You should fairly quickly narrow the cause to one mod. Once you do see if there's a correct version available and replace it or just remove it from the copy on your desktop. Copy the contents of your desktop to your ~/mods folder and enjoy your game.
