So in minecraft right now to play with freinds youd have to set up a whole server n such and pay and all that which is really Overkill
So I sugest in the minecraft Menu when you Click on multiplayer it will bring up a screen were you will have
"Log Into Server"
Which is what we have now were you can enter an IP to go to said server
"Set up Private Server"
When you click on this you can Upload one of your OWN worlds or set up a new one (Which will be saved to your worlds which you can also play in single player) Then You name the server, Then you have the option to "Invite" were you will go to your freind list to Invite people.
Also Under Multiplayer you will have "Freinds" When you go there you will see your minecraft freinds, It shows a picture of there skin, Name, If they are online or not, and a PM/Invite Button
When you send them a PM or Invite it goes to there mesage box.
Under freind will be the message box were you can send other freinds PM's or invites to yoru server
Now Back to the server Topic
The servers can host up too 6 People max (Including you), They work by combining the aspect of Single player with Multiplayer were only the chunks that the players are in are active (This reduces the load substantialy) And all the players Are conected Over the internet to all the other players, There is a Chat system and Voice system (they can talk live with mikes), Now the server is only temporary as long as the host (The starter) Is online playing on the server once the host leaves the server auto saves then shuts off kicking out any other members
This design is meant more for playing with your freinds so you dont have to manage the serve constantly and etc etc etc
I think that covers all of it please comment and tell me of any posible Improvments/Sugestions
All you did was give the idea on making servers. You never explained the technical detail of it.
Rollback Post to RevisionRollBack
I am the bone of my sword
Steel is my body, and fire is my blood
I have created over a thousand blades
Unknown to death, Nor known to life
Have withstood pain to create many weapons
Yet, those hands will never hold anything
So as I pray, Unlimited Blade Works
You... um... can, you don't need a dedicab to act as a server, just download the damn server software and log in via 127.0.0.1, give your friends you actual IP address (www.whatsmyip.com) and open a port and tell them the port and tada.
On an aside, Notch will soon add a lobby-system to make hosting games a bit less unwieldy.
..ah poop I forgot to add in it was temporary servers >.< *quick edit*
Still don't understand. What's technically "hosting" the servers.
EDIT: If it's the person that created the server, then that would make it laggy for basically everyone else. You never play on the same computer that is hosting the server.
Also, Mojang would need to design a program that uses java, that will automatically portforward your IP, set up the server, install the server.exe, install the world in the server file, etc etc.
