So I have a server up and can log in but when i do there is no ground... i just am constantly falling and i can see some other random stuff like cows and creeps doing the same thing so im not sure whats wrong and how to fix it...please help :biggrin.gif:
I'm so sorry that I NEVER understand about hosting on server :x I thought that I was close to host but there's something that needs to add and not sure what it is. I done port forwarding but the test failed. What did I do wrong?
Does anyone know which thread has instructions on how to add plugins/server mods to servers and how to add Client-side mods that add custom Items (I.E. balkon's weapon mod, Navist TNT mods, ect.)
will minecraft multiplayer ever be made easy!!!
umm i cant port forward...i cant find the password and username for 10.0.0.1....
The instructions on the site and in the FAQ's in here should help out a bit. Here's the general process for getting a server running for yourself and others.
Part 1 - Setting up your server on Windows
A) Download the Minecraft_Server.EXE file from the Minecraft site. Put it into a folder like C:\Minecraft and then double-click the file. This will start the server software and put a bunch of files into your C:\Minecraft folder that are necessary for server operation.
C) Test everything out by connecting to your own server. Open up Minecraft (the game) and select Multiplayer. Put in 127.0.0.1 for the server IP address and click Connect.
If everything is setup properly on your computer, then you will see a message in the Minecraft_Server window that you have logged in. Your client will show you the new game world and ta-da, you're now in multiplayer. If that didn't work, read back through the help documents here and make sure your local firewall software is allowing you to connect to that port, those are the usual culprits.
Part 2 - Connecting with your Friends
D) To get friends to play on your server, you need to make sure they can reach you and that if you have a firewall of some sort protecting you from direct internet acces that you make the appropriate changes there. Most home connections share a single internet IP address through a mechanism called NAT - Network Address Translation. Your computer is assigned an address that is only valid on the local network while your home router has an address available to the rest of the world. To find your router's address, go to: http://www.whatismyip.com Write this address down. Now click Start -> Run and type CMD Hit OK to open a command window. In Win 7, click Start, click in the search box and type CMD. Select the command prompt. In the command prompt type "ipconfig" and hit enter. Look for your Local Area Connection Ethernet Adapter or Local Area Connection Wireless Adapter. Ignore all the Tunneling Adapters and other crap. Write down your IPv4 address from that command. This is your local IP address.
E) You now need to forward a port from the outside of your router to the inside of your network. You have all the info you need: TCP Port 25565 is the port to forward and the IPv4 address you wrote down is the destination. Go to: http://portforward.com/ and follow their instructions for your particular router to forward the port.
Hooray, you've got things running. Now, for your friends to connect, give them the external IP address that you got from whatismyip.com. If they still can't connect it's possible that you are being NAT-ed by your ISP. At this point, you should consider one of the many Minecraft servers that are already running and play on one of those. Or, if you're determined, you could setup your own hosted server through a paid webhost.
i want to know, how do you fly in a beta 1.5_02 server? it said in the server.text that there is a variable to fly.
i have looked all around but...... all it has are those annoying flymods! if anyone can help it will be appreciated.

If anyone could direct me to a page with some (easy to read) info on what you need to run your own server I't would be great.
I'm already running a small server for me and a couple of friends, but I'm running it in win7 and using the computer for other things as well (like the actual playing of Minecraft :tongue.gif:).
What I would like to know is:
1. How much memory do I actually need to run a server for 10 people? For 20 people?
2. How much bandwidth do I need for 10/20 people? I have 100/10 Mbit fiber atm, is that enough?
3. How much cpu-power do I need?
4. The above questions, how much does the answer to them change if I use linux and only use the computer for the server?
5. Any special linux distributions prefered for a minecraft server?
I've searched alot for help with this but I can't find more than "theoretically" answers that doesn't say much. Most tips about starting your own server refers to using a payed-for-hosting. I don't want that.
I have an old PC lying around. It has a pentium processor of 2.4 and 2 gig mem. Is that enough to use as a dedicated server for minecraft? And if so, what is the cap on users to be online and still run smoothly?
I don't even know if this is the right place to ask this, but I just get confused by all threads regarding Minecraft since there's so many and most are really messy. Finding useful information that applies to what I need to know feels like decrypting messages for the CIA :tongue.gif:

Running a server is free if you run it from one of your own computers at home thrue your own internet.
The only thing that really cost money is if you pay a company to host the server for you.
Not if its a Beta Server
You just click them

:cool.gif: Add an exception to your local firewall for TCP port 25565. You may need to add this as an exception to the Windows firewall or if you have antivirus software from Norton or McAfee, you may need to add that there. Consult their manuals for how to do that. For windows XP: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/wind ... s-firewall or Windows 7: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/wind ... s-Firewall

Anyway, you should add this guide to the list I think: http://www.minecraftforum.net/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=193392
