    This is normal

    How do I build such a contraption?


    Make a customized world with 1 layer of grass blocks, then just break the grass as he did and put glass. (Alternately, just do a layer of glass).

    Warning: Breaking the glass and trying to fall to the sun may void your warranty.


    LOL!

    posted a message on Custom PC for hosting a server

    Let me be perfectly clear: I absolutely, positively, 100% recommend finding a host online rather than building your own makeshift server. I simply answered the question, because the OP figured it may be cheaper if the server was up for longer than a few months (which, up-front it is more expensive, but considering the package option these days it is cheaper if it is up for a year or so).

    With that being said, an online service (not naming any names) is better simply because of downtime guarantees, customer support, and other options that they can give you.

    if you want a extra case, I guess you can use medium good quality set suitable for case, then I suppose you are good.


    The case has literally zero affect on the performance of the server. In fact, a case itself is bad for the server as it restricts air flow; an open environment helps keep everything cooler.

    Go to http://pcpartpicker.com/list/gLWQd6 I made the list in a couple minutes, I am good at building PC's and server computers. it has 16 GB of RAM (12 usable for the minecraft server) Which would allow you 144 players if you have 1000 mb/s up and down. Hope you enjoy building the server!


    The PC he is making is going to be JUST for minecraft server - he doesn't need 16GB of RAM. No one needs 16GB of ram.

    With that being said, OP, you really only need 1.5 - 2GB of RAM to run 45 players on a server. Of course more is recommended (in case you're running a heavily modded server, or your server gets a big boom in your player base); RAM is relatively cheap nowadays, so getting how much you want is up to you. I recommend 4-8GB to cover all your bases. My laptop has 4, and I run a minecraft server, chrome, minecraft, etc. just fine with it.

    You don't need the keyboard, monitor, or the mouse (I'm assuming you're on a desktop). Just take them from your first desktop, configure the server, and move them back when you're done setting the server up. (You can also of course remotely connect to it, at which point you only need the monitor and mouse to set the computer up).

    As for Storage (hard drive), you don't need much, but you really want an SSD versus and HDD (SSD is flash, like a flash drive; HDD is literally a disk that spins; the flash is much, much faster than the disk, and it is much harder to lose data on the SSD).

    You don't need an optical drive.

    Any new-age CPU is good. AMD-FX, AMD-FX Black Edition, or any Intel -i5s would be best.

    The issue you will run into will be the network. Of course the goal of a server is to be on as close to 24/7 as possible - for home networks, this is difficult. The faster the better. The amount of devices on that network (parent's computer if you live with them, or your girlfriend/boyfriend/wife/husband's computer, cell phones, online dvd players, smart tvs..... everything is connected these days) all take a toll on the network. For best results, forgo a wireless adapter and plug the PC into the router via an Ethernet cable.

    NOTE: This is all under the assumption that you're building this PC to run and only run the Minecraft server, whilst you play on the server via a different computer.

    Snow biomes are nice aesthetically speaking. I would be more inclined to explore them if they had villages - I've never been in a snow biome with a village.

    The thing about lies, is that it takes a lot of effort to ensure that your lie is believed. You're 14.

    posted a message on How can I make a portal that tp's you rather than take you to the nether?
    Quote from 0201Shadow»

    First of all, you should create your own thread for this problem but I will answer your question

    Testfor commands can be really buggy so you should use execute instead.


    /execute @a[x=121,y=65,z=211,r=1] ~ ~ ~ /fill 119 66 213 119 68 211 minecraft:air




    And a few things about your command:

    The testfor command works like this:

    /testfor @a[x=121,y=65,z=211,r=1]



    not like this:

    /testfor @a [x=121,y=65,z=211,r=1]




    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)

    Exceptions are made if you're four months until 18, for example - not the 4 year difference. We have players that have children as old as you are. Sorry!
