    Sorry but this is honestly the worst way to set up a minecraft server

      The video was made for absolute beginners so they could run a vanilla Minecraft server, if he wanted to, he could’ve taught how to use Bukkit or Canary/hmod.

    What do you do AFTER you edited everything? And if you leave the white list blank, what will happen?

    • geekguy8 // //

      The whitelist is a function if you want your server to be private. If you want to, add names of people you want to play in the .txt file and enable whitelisting in server.properties, the console, or in-game. ๐Ÿ™‚

    Tinkernut/Gigafide/Admin/Dave,
    There is no video there.

  • Anbla // //

    how do you make the green window? and how do you get the ip??

  • King Telasword // //

    @MARTIN, RAM? Hmph…wouldn’t be a problem for CaptainSparklez on Youtube. He’s got…like 24 GB of RAM and 2 TB of HDD space.

    @yogi, You can’t. You’ll have to wait for someone to find out how to. For now, just play the game on your PS3.

My parents wont let me have a server because it uses their ip address. i need to register my domain name for my website and be able to host it ( learned from your video) is their any way to make the server run through my website when i get it running.
