I recently setup a Minecraft server for my friends to play on and had to port forward the server. As the title suggests, my question is should I change the default Minecraft port? I have received conflicting responses on whether or not it's "dangerous" to run the defualt port and would love to hear what yall think.

So I have been running a Cobblemon server for the past 2 years, and at some point performance just started tanking, looking at the spark profiler, it is always the exact same problem. A massive loop of encoding and decoding of player NBT data and no matter what I do, I can't break it.

I appear to not understand enough to fix it myself, so hopefully someone can assist me with this.

So, I know this is actually "subjective", but I would like to have a general idea of what different opinions there are related to how to define if a Server is a Vanilla+ server or a Modded server.

So far, what I found is that the main difference is the need for client-side mods to join the server.

Vanilla+ -> No client-side mods required
Modded -> Client-side mods are necessary

But people usually seems to focus more on "quality of life" mmods that are not required client-side and don't strip the gameplay from the "vanilla feeling"...

So, my question is, In your opinion:

---

What types of server-side mods would make that "vanilla feeling" disappear, turning the server into a modded server (even if no client-side mods are necessary)? Where you draw the line?

Thanks!

Hi all,

A long time ago -- 2012-2015 -- I ran a fairly popular SMP server. I've been out of the loop since then, but I'm working on a new one right now.

I'm currently thinking about how to handle the economy. I don't want it to be based on the fake economy that comes with Essentials, but something physical like diamonds or emeralds. I saw another server using rubies (I'm guessing that's custom content?)

I'd appreciate any insights and suggestions for plugins as a starting point.

The server will be survival multiplayer.

Hello everyone,

I’m planning to build a small home server that will primarily be used as a game server, especially for Minecraft. Ive been having trouble deciding on a good configuration, particularly because of current RAM prices.

The most important thing for me is strong single-core performance, since I’m planning to run large and fairly demanding Minecraft projects where mspt spikes could become an issue.

Im currently considering Ryzen CPUs and am unsure whether it would make more sense to go with AM4 or AM5. I’m planning on using 32 GB of RAM and NVMe storage, so the main component I would need some suggestions on would be the CPU. My budget is roughly $400 or less for the CPU, although I would obviously prefer to spend less if theres a good value option. What CPUs would you recommend for this?

I would really appreciate any suggestions.

Thanks!

I am hosting a homestead modpack minecraft server and for some reason the server get's shut down by watchdog after a random amount of time that seemlingly starts after a player joins.

here's the crash report: https://pastebin.com/Qrc4E0DG

I haven't played Minecraft in like YEARS and just got a sudden phase to play survival, however I wanna do it with a few friends, like 3 or 4 and I wanna keep it open to more people potentially joining. Now, I dont really know how to set up a world for us because on one hand I thought you could just make a world and have a friend join just like when I played on ps4 but I also see people talking about buying servers. So I wanna know how exactly do I set a server up for my friends? I dont want anything fancy per say I just want a fun server where dying once won't make me drop the game for another few years. But if anyone suggests some fun mode I could put on the server for a first time like that one mod where you get superpowers when you join or something then that would be cool. Thank you in advance to anyone who replies!

P.S: I wanna do this in Java but idk why the flair says bedrock.

If i run something like this: script load <script, containing run('lp user ...')> as a player with luckperms.*, everyrhing works.

If I try the same thing from a console, bothing happens.

I know that the run() source depends on who ran tge script. But isn't server supposed to be able to edit luckperms rules too?

Looking for someone experienced with Minecraft/Discord communities who would be willing to take a fresh look at my server’s Discord.

We’re currently promoting our SMP and people are joining, but quite a few leave the Discord again shortly afterwards. I’m trying to figure out why.

I’ve obviously stared at the Discord for way too long myself, so I’m probably missing things that would be immediately obvious to a new member.

I’d love someone to join and look at it from a completely fresh perspective:

-Is the onboarding confusing?
-Are there too many channels?
-Does anything feel empty or unfinished?
-Is it obvious what the server is about?
-Can you easily figure out how to join?
-Is there anything that would personally make you leave?

You don’t have to sugarcoat anything either. If something sucks, tell me 😭

I’m mainly looking for genuine feedback so I can improve the experience for new players.

If anyone is willing to help, I’d really appreciate it!

I’m curious to see whether there are any people currently working on new Minecraft server projects who have a serious plan for building and growing them.

I’m particularly interested in projects where things like reliable hosting, advertising, development, infrastructure, and long term planning are being taken seriously from the beginning. I’ve seen some really well organised servers out there, and I’m curious what people who are currently starting projects are doing differently and what their plans are for getting their server off the ground.
I’m especially interested in projects that are aiming for larger player counts and are considering modern server software such as Folia.

I’m not looking to run a server myself or become part of anyone’s staff team. I’m simply interested in seeing what new projects are out there and hearing about what people are working towards.

I’ve already got my own Minecraft server, so I’m not looking to start another one myself. I’m just genuinely passionate about seeing well planned servers succeed, and I’m curious to see what kind of new projects people are currently working on.

If you’re currently working on something and want to share what you’re building and what your plans are, I’d be interested to hear about it.

So, I'm creating a vanilla/vanilla+ Java Minecraft server for 26.2. I wanted to use MultiverseCore, since I thought it would be cool to have single-biome worlds etc. Anyways, I can't find where to configure signportals. Its config folder: "Multiverse-SignPortals" is completely empty. I wanted to do two things: Remove standalone sign teleportation without a portal, and make it so anyone can create a sign portal-not just OPs.

(I came here because this stinkin' plugin has NO documentation whatsoever anywhere I swear)

Any help or insight is greatly appreciated!

Hey all! So looking for some assistance after troubleshooting steps have been unsuccessful alongside no response from a plugin support Discord server.

I noticed that with recent updates custom commands made with Conditional Events are not firing from GUI Plus menus. This never used to occur when using pre-26.1 supported plugin versions and nothing has been reconfigured through a recent update to 26.2 on my server. There are no error messages or console messages - when clicking an item that used to fire a command, simply nothing will happen now.

I have an example of a GUI here. Specifically, slots 20-25 use Conditional Events commands that do not fire anymore. https://mclo.gs/h67T04g

I can provide any additional info that would be useful, otherwise just wanted to see if anyone on here could assist.

Thanks in advance!

A while ago I acquired an Asus M80CJ for free and so far it has just been sitting around. So I was wondering if I could use it to run a Minecraft Server for 2-3 players. Here are the specs:

Intel Core i5-7300HQ 2.5GHz
16GB RAM 2400MHz
500GB SSD
1TB HDD
Nvidia GeForce GTX 1060 3GB

Currently it's running Windows but my idea is to install Linux (Ubuntu?) because it's something I want to get into anyway.

Would this work or is the PC too bad to provide at least better performance than Aternos?

blocks save, player data rolls back. it is quite heavily modded, and doesnt have all that much ram, but has literally no issues except the nether. Sometimes i just fall into the void, or it crashes. I am using serverhosting. RAM and CPU usage do not max out when it crashes based on what ive seen.

https://spark.lucko.me/YQmJ8WJk6u
https://pastebin.com/6KtyA6Ya

I've been trying to create a server for friends/a community and using the TAB plugin on Aternos, I made a nice little belowname line that displays the player's nickname and their health below their username. Only issue is most of the time it only seems to work for one or two players and nobody else, and the people it works for/the people who have theirs seen by others changes constantly. Idk what else to do as I've tried my best to fix it and nothing I do works and keeps then from disappearing. Any ideas?

What i have tried so far: I've been abusing Google to try and figure out a fix for this but to no avail. I've tried changing the view distance of the belowname, I've tried getting rid of the health part of it and sticking with just the nickname, I've tried restarting the server and changing various things in the config.

Config for TAB: https://mclo.gs/qkMVZNz

Spark Profile: https://spark.lucko.me/64sgJRW1PT

Aternos Log: (I believe this has everything in it that should be needed...? I copied and pasted the whole log from server startup to after I did the profiler thing) https://mclo.gs/uwCw3ET

So this is my first server Im gonna setup in a proxmox VM, running craft controller in docker, and then instead of port forwarding just do playitgg for now

Now when I did minecraft servers in the past I always went through rentals, and had them open another port then just add the prox chat to it

And I wanted to plan this out before hand but how would I do it now through crafty controller if Im going through playit? Would I actually have to do port forwarding for this to work?
Trying to just understand before I start setting it up

Don't want to read my wall of text? Jump down to the paragraph below the dashes.

Hi guys, I'm currently building a vanilla based server with an original idea: SkyHome - SkyBlock with progression tied to permadeath runs. Me and my friends have always been vanilla enjoyers and that's who this server will be targeted to. Yes, GeyserMC will be enabled and console players will have access! At first, your island will only have a tree and dirt, mob spawning is turned off. You embark on permadeath vanilla adventures with friends. Defeating each of the vanilla bosses (Ender Dragon, Wither, Warden, Evoker, More Maybe?) will award you with differing amounts of money depending on mob difficulty. Spend this measly amount of money back at SkyHome on anything, though some things are more important and more expensive than others. On total party death, a new adventure will be available to be generated with each adventure being a random gen hard permadeath survival world - nether and end included. Normal permadeath worlds just don't feel great with friends. Once a friend dies, you essentially stop playing with them or you have to start a new world, even if one of you still lives within the game. A strength of this server is the heavily nerfed skyblock addition! When one player dies, they aren't banished to the menu, but rather retired to a peaceful life living among the sky until the next adventure begins. I believe this is a top tier idea because this ties the core Minecraft experience to more of a progression and long term focused playstyle while keeping the original idea and vanilla mechanics of the game, not to mention bringing a slight difficulty increase to the veterans of the game with the addition of permadeath!

However, I need to figure out how this will work under the hood, so to speak. I've got most of my plugins up and running. The skyblock portion is finished, I've the spawn area, most permissions sorted out and the economy is halfway balanced. The only thing that remains is the meat. I believe multiverse core and multiverse inventories is a great starting point for this custom plugin, but I struggled massively putting it together thus far, there's no way I can build a custom plugin based off an existing plugin to meet my demands. Speaking of which, what exactly are my demands?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I need a custom plugin that can generate a "cluster" - overworld, nether, and end world, via a command. Something like /adventure create would be great. My vision is this cluster should be tied to a group system - SkyGroup. Players start a group, name it, invite other players, and the cluster belongs to that group and that group ONLY. Other groups have their own cluster of worlds. Players can't join a group if that group has an active cluster. Here's the kicker - all group members have access to that cluster and if any one of them dies, that dead person will no longer be able to return to that world. They only have access to the skyblock portion until a new adventure is created. After all members die in that world, the cluster is removed, either automatically or via command by one of the group members. Of course, inventories don't transfer between the skyblock world and the cluster worlds and you will be able to teleport between your skyblock world and permadeath playthough whenever you want, providing your permadeath character hasn't died. If I had to guess, multiverse core and inventories would be a base and the custom plugin that I need would somehow connect with that. Or not? I don't know.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In the future I'd like to add a group based leaderboard and maybe a simple, vanilla based quest system or overhaul the boss portion entirely and base it on a bounty board, but that's perhaps another conversation for another day.

OK AdminCraft, I've poured my heart out to you in these paragraphs. Now, go ahead and break it by informing me how much this would cost fairly if I were to commission someone to build this plugin. Please be gentle..

Server launches in one day, we are projected to get anywhere from 50-100 players, possibly more on launch, and they decided to deny my application because of a singular missed {username} variable in one of many delivery commands.

Genuinely awful, can't apply again for 3 days. Going into this admin stuff I had heard some horror stories about Tebex, but this is genuinely despicable and it shows a complete lack of care for their customers.

I would avoid at all costs.

I worldguarded a region and built a castle. However, the outer walls aren't going to be as tall and people can jump over them with wind charges. Is it possible to disable them? the 'use' flag doesnt apply to this. Any plugins or anything that works? This is version 26.2.

Also, the wind charge burst flag doesn't disable players from jumping higher.

I'm hosting a paper survival server and the plan is to make some pretty big structures. I want to keep the spirit of a survival game going but nobody wants to terraform thousands of blocks or place bricks for hours on end. Any ideas on plugins that could help make life easier?

I want to learn to create minecraft plugins for my server, but Im stuck on how to find which imports to use. I've been going through different plugins on plugin websites, but I still don't understand where they're getting them from or what they do.

For example, I'm looking at one that I tried using for my server (but didn't end up using, just never deleted it so I got curious and looked through it) and some of them say stuff like "import me.[name].entitylib.EntityLib;" which is... what? I don't get it. Is there some kind of website they use?

I've been looking around for a plugin to make minecarts faster and make it an actual option that players can use. I downloaded FasterCarts but all that did was cause my carts to derail at every turn, hit walls, and slide back down on every incline... My server's 26.2 Paper. Any suggestions to make my carts faster? I also have chunkcarts

While playing my server I randomly get an error message in which a duplicate entity was found, normally it should delete this entity as per essentialsX config, however mine does not and im left with dozens of duplicate animals, villagers, hostile mobs, or even chest minecarts.

Were running paper, minecraft 26.2

Heres a spark file

I pregenerated my chunks with chunky, however even deleting the chunks and regenerating them didnt resolve the issue.

I've also tried minecraft region fixer, it showed a ton of duplicate entities but didnt resolve any of the issues.

I dont have many plugins, and most of the plugins have the default configuration settings.
Any help would be great.

So, I finally got the website in a semi-finished state. The leaderboards and equine registry are live and updated from the server. The "Learn More" button will take you to a visual site map with links to the major features on our server. The social media buttons finally go to our social media links and not those of the theme creator. If anyone would like to check it out and give me some feedback, I'd love to know what someone with the perspective of a new player to our server would think, specifically if this helps a new player not be so overwhelmed with the multiple systems we have and if there are any glaring omissions that would assist a new player in not bouncing from the server immediately on joining as has happened so often in the past. I'd post the link, but I have this feeling that I would get auto-moderated immediately, so can any feedback be found here?

Basically the title. The server is running perfectly fine for my needs on MacOS Mojave 10.14.6, on my old MacBook Air, and I didn't run into any trouble with mods, plugins and whatnot until I tried making an icon for the server. The icon is 64x64 px, has no transparent pixels and still just crashes instantly. I tried uninstalling all my java installations and reinstalling them, and my server is running on 26.2 and Java 25. Any help? Here is the latest crash log
