I'd host it if my ISP didn't deny half the connections :(

FYI: Servers for Minecraft are surprisingly memory-intensive compared to other game servers. Games like Trackmania and Counterstrike take up less RAM/processing, sadly :(

It's because the server client is in alpha just like the rest of the game.

I haven't played the game but I watched like 50 minutes of gameplay time, that a caster guy did. It was funny to watch the guy. The game itself- bleh. I am just not the sort of person that will spend 3 hours to build something that does nothing.

Still, the game boosts creativity.


I will have to go with what Romek said though.

I've started losing interest in Minecraft. If we had a server I'd go on every day XD

problem is that if you buy it when its in beta you dont get free updates

Yes you do. You get all the updates and the actual release. You just don't get downloadable content extras which won't be made until after the game is finished.

We will also change the license to remove the line that promises all future versions of the game for free. Please note that this change only affects people who buy the game after December 20, so if you got the game for during alpha, you will still get all future updates for free, despite this change. A promise is a promise.
Buying the game during beta will include all updates up until release, of course, and bug patches will be free.

If anyone who is willingly to host a MineCraft server for TheHelper.Net members, please do announce that in the forums.

I'm ready to do just about anything what a server admin can do. Getting up a MySQL database with all of the MineCraft players, and validating them seems easy enough to do, but require a little help. I just need time, fast bandwidth, and some more RAMs.

Don't hog all the fun. I'm an OP on a server. I can setup hMod (hey0's mod) and setup virtually any plugin for hMod. (Towny anyone? :D)

We'll be the new moderators then. That also means we're left with a server dedicated to The Helper.

What are the bandwidth and resource requirements for a server?

I've got 1MB download 800MB upload and 512MB RAM for a dedicated (my laptop I'm not currently using).

No, for RAM, you need to follow this formula:

1.5GB + n * (256 MB) = Total number of RAM.

1.5 GB is for running a server and managing lag-free environment.
n stands for how many players you are going to host for them to play. Multiply that by 256 MB and you get the system requirements for hosting a server.

This formula is formed by me, a server provider in Singapore whom is busy hosting for 50 players, and some other collaborators.

It really depends on what you are running.

In minecraft's case, you need at least 1 GB of RAM, more if you want it to run smoothly. Additional players shouldn't really require too much more RAM, if anything, it just requires a faster processor.

I'm hosting mine (survivor, mobs) but the IP is not static currently so I will not give out the IP.

  • No one is chatting at the moment.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    So what it really is me trying to implement some kind of better site navigation not change the whole theme of the site
  • Varine Varine:
    How can you tell the difference between real traffic and indexing or AI generation bots?
  • The Helper The Helper:
    The bots will show up as users online in the forum software but they do not show up in my stats tracking. I am sure there are bots in the stats but the way alot of the bots treat the site do not show up on the stats
  • The Helper The Helper:
    New recipe is Shipwreck Dinner - https://www.thehelper.net/threads/recipe-shipwreck-dinner.193511/
  • Varine Varine:
    I want to build a filtration system for my 3d printer, and that shit is so much more complicated than I thought it would be
  • Varine Varine:
    Apparently ABS emits styrene particulates which can be like .2 micrometers, which idk if the VOC detectors I have can even catch that
  • Varine Varine:
    Anyway I need to get some of those sensors and two air pressure sensors installed before an after the filters, which I need to figure out how to calculate the necessary pressure for and I have yet to find anything that tells me how to actually do that, just the cfm ratings
  • Varine Varine:
    And then I have to set up an arduino board to read those sensors, which I also don't know very much about but I have a whole bunch of crash course things for that
  • Varine Varine:
    These sensors are also a lot more than I thought they would be. Like 5 to 10 each, idk why but I assumed they would be like 2 dollars
  • Varine Varine:
    Another issue I'm learning is that a lot of the air quality sensors don't work at very high ambient temperatures. I'm planning on heating this enclosure to like 60C or so, and that's the upper limit of their functionality
  • Varine Varine:
    Although I don't know if I need to actually actively heat it or just let the plate and hotend bring the ambient temp to whatever it will, but even then I need to figure out an exfiltration for hot air. I think I kind of know what to do but it's still fucking confusing
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Maybe you could find some of that information from AC tech - like how they detect freon and such
  • Varine Varine:
    That's mostly what I've been looking at
  • Varine Varine:
    I don't think I'm dealing with quite the same pressures though, at the very least its a significantly smaller system. For the time being I'm just going to put together a quick scrubby box though and hope it works good enough to not make my house toxic
  • Varine Varine:
    I mean I don't use this enough to pose any significant danger I don't think, but I would still rather not be throwing styrene all over the air
  • The Helper The Helper:
    New dessert added to recipes Southern Pecan Praline Cake https://www.thehelper.net/threads/recipe-southern-pecan-praline-cake.193555/

    Another bot invasion 493 members online most of them bots that do not show up on stats
  • Varine Varine:
    I'm looking at a solid 378 guests, but 3 members. Of which two are me and VSNES. The third is unlisted, which makes me think its a ghost.

    I bitch about Xenforo sometimes but it really is full featured you just have to really know what you are doing to get the most out of it.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    It is just not easy to fix styles and customize but it definitely can be done
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I do know this - xenforo dropped the ball by not keeping the vbulletin reputation comments as a feature. The loss of the Reputation comments data when we switched to Xenforo really was the death knell for the site when it came to all the users that left. I know I missed it so much and I got way less interested in the site when that feature was gone and I run the site.
