I know Minecraft really

[CaymanIsland]

So i used to play Minecraft when i was about 7-10 or something i got on when 1.3. something was out and stopped around  1.9 something but one of my friends got me back into it and i was looking at the "Realms" and just thought to myself what the fuck is this shit I remember when you had to pay a 3 party company to run one and once you payed once they would never charge you again it was your server and you ran it off your own PC and internet not off of Microsoft servers and there servers are very far way from me and so this service would be shit I remember hours of priceless gaming. I was disgusted and started to look further into this shit and found out that you could only have 10 fucking players i nearly threw my computer across the room I once had 200 people on one fucking server and running at full speed with mods and shit it was a fucking power house omg great times but this shit makes me want to bar. ugh utter shit!

 

(sorry about grammar i was very angry)

 

tell me what you guys think.

The whole Realms deal is so that people can play with friends without having to deal with setting up an actual server. Obviously, people who play video games don't have many friends hence the 10 player limit.

 

I would personally encourage people to make a server instead of buying a Realm, you get a lot more free reign with a server than a Realm. Plus it only costs as much as your electricity provided you have decent hardware and internet.

Personally I don't play minecraft anymore, but I think that it is has its pros and cons, like you cannot get scammed anymore but they have taken power away from the player and given into themselves I personally don't know enough to make my own decision.

Realms = pay for simplicity.

 

You can still run your own server.  I have several internal servers that I open up for others occasionally.

ahh I see what you are saying I guess the reason I had so many people on my servers was because i was the first to have one.

 

I live in a very small town

I wouldn't imagine you were the first to have a server, but in your town I could see that as a more likely possibility.

 

I honestly prefer servers to singleplayer, you don't get the same experience playing alone as you do with a group. I mean alone, you can do whatever you want and that's all fine and cool but projects take ages to complete. With a server, you can get a huge group of friends and all do things together and that makes the multiplayer experience the best in my opinion.

Realms is good for like a group of 3 to 7 people. Its overpriced though, it costed me two bucks to own a server to play minecraft for 10 people.

"Very Small Town"

 

Georgetown or hell?

[KarathKasun]

You download the server JAR file and run it with Java, preferably on a Linux machine.

not sure if its up to date, but the principle is the same still.

Its still there.

 

You need to open/forward ports and all of that jazz.  Welcome to the world of providing your own services on the internet.

Hell hahaha good job 

[NoxiousOdor]

The entire game is just too complex now, it's strongest characteristic was its simplicity. Now they are turning it into a monster and it has become more about the updates than actually building cool stuff. They should have left it simple and if people want bonus content then they can just use mods

Oh, something I encountered hosting my own servers, you may need to disable authorization of clients.  The central servers sometimes will not authorize people for you depending on your network setup.

 

To counter bots/spammers I run a whitelist.  People contacted me wanting in and I added their Name/IP to the allowed players list.

Well i can't get into minecraft anymore. I just booted it up and it has a tutorial! Whyyyy?

Also it feels like a modded minecraft with all those new stuff and blocks and structures and it just doesnt feel vanilla anymore.

You can pick old builds in the launcher if you want OG Minecraft.

Realms actually has a 30 day free trial, so me and my friends awhile ago decided to make a server for 7 people and do a playthrough of survival since we haven't played it in forever. The 30 days is enough to do whatever you need to, and if you want you can transfer it to another person to continue and get more free days.

If you wanted to make it public you could have a password plugin to counter bots and for spammers put in a anti spam plugin/anti link/anti ip

[KarathKasun]

Never liked plugins for "vanilla" servers because keeping up to date was a serious problem.  Also never had a server with more than ~50 people, so maintaining a whitelist was the simplest way to go.
