Are there any guide for server commands like:

give <player> <id> [num] = gives a player a resource

...I mean those resource id numbers

thats pointless, most (by that I mean nearly every) server in minecraft uses give commands
these commands are
/give <player> (block ID) <amount>
/give <player> (block name such as grass or stone)
/i (block ID) <amount> (this will give U a block)
/i (Block name) <amount>

Is it possible to join a server with a mod no one else has? It's a private server, and I have two mods no one else has, do I have to delete them? And if I do, what would happen to my singleplayer games with all of that saved information?

Compendium of Useful Guides
A Compendium of useful guides to help run a successful server

Introduction
Most people hate Sticky's blocking up the top of their page. A few are OK, but once you start getting more, they just block the top of the page. If we put this in to perspective with the 'Server Administration' section, we can see there are already quite a few sticky's. If we were to give all the helpful guides a sticky, this forum section would be clogged up.

That's why, we're making this Compendium. It's a central place for you to find all the useful info you need, to help run your server. Just look through the list, and help yourself to Gourmet knowledge.

Compendium
How to Build and Maintain a Good Server
This is a nice lengthy guide, on the basics, of setting up the administrative and creative side of your server. This guide is not about setting up the technical side of your server, but rather how to keep it running in the long time, with helpful tips. A must read.

How to Port-Forward your Minecraft Server (With Pictures)
An In-Depth guide on how to Port-Forward for those of you that struggle with doing it. It has pictures and should help a lot! Be warned though, the guide may be slightly out-dated in some areas.

Does your server not work? - The list of possible solutions
A Guide for quick help, if your server isn't functioning correctly. Provides Quick tips for the most common problems that occur. Note: The guide is not Up-To-Date, and the OP hasn't joined the forums in months. We need someone to submit a guide similar to this one, so it can be replaced.

Tutorial: Create Multicolored MOTD's!
A quick guide showing you how to make, fun and playful MOTD's for your server. This is also a useful guide for using colour codes in modded servers.

Add an Online/Offline indicator to your Server Topic
Shows you a nifty script, that allows you to add an Indicator to your server topic, so you don't have to constantly update whether your server is offline or online. Very useful.

Tutorial: Linux box hosting
A neat, in-depth tutorial, teaching you how to host a Minecraft server, on a Linux Box. Great for all those who use and prefer a Linux VPS.

How to Set Up a Server [NEW!] [0.1.1]
This great guide showcases how to setup the 'technical' side of your server. It's very simple to read, and has lots of tips and tricks to make the process a whole lot easier. It is currently outdated slightly, but there is not much difference in setting up a server, between the updates so this should be fine. If anyone is willing to make something more Up-to-date, submit it!

FAQ - Solutions Collection
Another FAQ to help get your server running properly, which focuses on different areas to the one already posted. Neatly done and presented.

[Tut] How to bring maps from Single player to SMP! [/tut]
Help for those of you struggling to move your maps, from Single Player to SMP. This is a great way to show people your maps, and also, not let your hard work go to waste, if you're moving towards playing SMP.

Submitting a Guide
I'm sure there are plenty more guides out there, waiting to get recognition! If you think you or someone else has a useful guide, that should be mentioned, please PM a forum moderator with a link and a quick description of the guide. If it's original and hasn't already been mentioned, and it's a useful guide, I'll incorporate it into my Compendium!

Happy Minecrafting everyone!

On my server we have been looking for a rank mod. We can't find one that is good. We want around 3-4 ranks that are only changed by the admin or an op. Please help! Great guide btw!

For FREE!

The monthly rates are dependant on if you host the MC server on your own machine at home or office, or if you rent a server slot from one of the service poviders located on some hightech datacenters


Owned server, on your OWN machine, depandant on your computer's resources is FREE (beyond obvious fee's for interwebz service etc)

Rented server on a datacenter: Not your machine, service may vary from provider to provider, support is important, make sure that you getting what you need (dedicated RAM, HDD space, control panels etc..)

[PandazNWafflez]

I request that you add this :

http://www.minecraft...-forwarder-v13/

Not mine, but very useful. Automatically portforwards and starts your server. It is a .bat, so easy to check for viruses, and the port is adjustable inside the .bat. The downside to it being a .bat is that it's Windows only, but still, I found it very helpful.

Thanks for the guide!

just one question, my friend said you have to pay monthly to keep a server up, how much is it?

Only if someone else hosts it for you like Multiplay or Creeperhost or any others. If you host it yourself, then there is no cost other than that of getting the server or maintaining it.

Given the time and will to maintain it, and the Bukkit server, PermissionsEX, GroupManager, and any other permissions plugins should work. The plugins are for Bukkit. The wiki should explain most of everything...

You should be able to, as long as they don't modify your client in a way that the server prohibits. EX: USING zombe's fly mod on a server that doesn't allow flying. (Not the USING. I'm not sure if it has changed (Probably not) but you should be able to join, so long as you don't use them) If you told me what mods, i could help a little more..

Depending on how many players you have, it can be fine. For 1-4 players it should be sufficient as long as you are playing Vanilla. Now, if you want to play on it, and run the server on the same machine and the computer has ONLY 256MB Then you are in trouble..
