I became interested in private servers after the RuneScape Private Server boom in 2005. I started out on a few severs, helping and moderating, until I found a little home with a server called Affliction Gaming (which unfortunately died a few months after my leaving). I had joined their ranks a few days after playing, at which point the ranks on staff were simply Mod, Admin, and the Co-Owners/Owners, with a player base of around 35-40 at peak hours. As I moved up the ranks rather quickly, I had convinced the owner to expand his ranks. In the two years that followed, I became a Co-Owner and Web Developer, overseeing the entire staff (Player Helpers, Mods, Head Mod, Admin, Head Admin, and myself), with a player base of over 125 at peak hours (and players were never alone during "off-hours"; there was always a handful online).
As for the web experience, I have been interested in Web Design since I owned my first website at 7 (my grandfather had bought it for me) that helped send donations to St. Jude's Children's Hospital. I am self taught, using mostly HTML (HTML5 nowadays) and CSS, with some experience in other languages (PHP for forums, Java for games, etc.). I have an Associates Degree in General Sciences, and have taken classes in Graphics Design (Photoshop, but I mainly use GIMP as I have used it since before I took the class), and will soon be going online for my Bachelors in Computer Sciences.
I understand that this is a "paid" position, however I play the game for the fun. I don't expect any form of payment, just the enjoyment of getting back into the ranks of a strong and experienced team that you seem to be putting together.
Anything else: I would bring experience to the server. Not only to being a staff member, but some server experience and web experience as well. Loyalty is a priority to me, so I am never staff on multiple servers. I recently left a server in good terms, and have no ties to any server. I considered my own start-up, but after coming across this I believe that it may be what I am looking for.
Thanks for taking the time to review this! I know it was a lot, I apologize. If denied, thanks for the consideration!
So I've been exploring different servers lately, gathering ideas from my past experiences (successes and failures) to start my own small server. Short term goals will be to get the server running in a month or so, with a starting goal of 20-25 players during busy times (weekends).
I've had this idea stuck in my head since I was helping manage another server a few months back. Has anyone figured out a way to integrate players on a server with the forum? The best I can find is either an premium account look-up (the forum checks to see if the username has a premium Minecraft account), and of course there are things like Enjin and some small-time plugins that do everything for you. Here is the problem: the first option only checks to see if the account has bought Minecraft and doesn't check to see that they have played the server; the second leaves very little room for creativity, and also require Vault (which to my knowledge isn't available for 1.10.x).
What I am looking for is a way to check that the Minecraft user has played on the server before. I'd like the forum to force players to use their Minecraft username as their forum username. I was wondering if anyone has figured out how to do this as of yet.
If any server developers have any unrelated suggestions, feel free to message me privately (or break the rules and reply here), I appreciate it!
Also please pastebin the contents of your batch file and the name of your .jar (a rookie issue is that the name of the jar in the batch doesn't match the .jar)
my name is dries, i turned 18 early this month (:o xD), my ign is dri_, i play mc everyday and my fav thing about mc is my specialty: building! <3 :)))
The thing about lies, is that it takes a lot of effort to ensure that your lie is believed. You're 14.
Hey! My name is Kris! (Minecraft name: Kristoman74) I'm 19 (Birth Date 12/5/92) and I've played Since the Alpha Version of minecraft!!! I'd be able to come on at least 2 hours a week day Plus a lot more on a weed end! XD My Skype name is Meshikiari01And my favourite thing about minecraft is survival, starting with nothing and collecting and building until you have a Empire!!! I'd love to join your server, I'd be a great addition I think XD
This post has been copied and pasted on multiple realm applications. Also, I was born in '95 and I'm almost 21. If you were born in '92, you'd be either 24 or turning 24.
i like building in mc but something that is really my good side is creating redstone stuff and automating stuff
im kinda active in workweek but it depends. If i dont have much work for school im able to be up to 4h a day
Hello Smauv! Thank you for your interest! Keep an eye on your invites in game, as we may add you early. I can't wait to see you in game!

The server console is a program that loads the world, and allows players to connect to your server. Because of this, your server uses your IP address and an open Port, which tells your players where to connect. Because your cloud doesn't have an IP or ports, this cannot be done on a cloud. The server can be run from a cloud in theory, but the players would still be connected to your computer. (This also isn't even getting into Port Forwarding.)
And also remember minecraft: before the name of the block so "minecraft:air" not "air"
Actually, Minecraft is flexible in that it understands that "air" and "stonebrick" and "sand" need Minecraft: before it, so you can use only the word. That is thanks to its rigid syntax, and the removal of the use of IDs (which also could be used without the Minecraft: tag)
My only guess would be that you need to add the number that corresponds to the right color of wool (white is 0, orange is 1, magenta is 2... So on)
I've never done this, but this is how the fill commands and clone commands work also, so I'd imagine it would be the same. (/fill X1 Y1 Z1 X2 Y2 Z2 Minecraft:wool 3 fills an area from X1 Y1 Z1 to X2 Y2 Z2 with Magenta wool).
Hope this his helped and maybe got it working! Sorry I'm not more experienced, just thought I'd share what I'm familiar with.

Thank you for your post! I'm sure Clover will add you early (tonight), but you will definitely get added by tomorrow night. Thanks!
Also, the ping shouldn't be bad - we do have at least 1 or 2 other Canadians! (Server is a Mojang server, I believe its US based).
