now that its stable i can start working on the server rather than my friends weekend group server. (which is kind of cheating being that no one else will be playing on it till next weekend and i already have 17 diamonds lol.

It's stable apart from the usual share of glitches Minecraft comes with, there's no Bukkit yet - but it works, and works well now. And it's configured the way the community wanted it to.

The server does run on Windows Server 2012...

It does? That's surprising. I realize that this is Neowin, but Minecraft Server Manager - which is clearly the only sane way to run a Minecraft server - is not supported on Windows!

 

Also, could I please be whitelisted again? My Minecraft username is the same as my Neowin one.

Not sure if my request to get whitelisted was missed a couple of pages back, but could you please whitelist me. my username is Tolinbras

Whitelisted both of you.

hmm, trying to connect to the server and it says I am not whiltelisted. The server name/ip is still the same as in the first post of the thread correct: mc.neowin.net/207.36.27.103?

Yes. It's possible I mistyped your MC login while whitelisting you - however I can't check as I am at work now. Sorry.

 

You'll have to ask either Louisifer or Chasethebase to check.

thats ok no rush, I'd just home from work and thought i would jump on and get started but it won't let me.

might be a good thing I can't get on atm as I am cooking dinner and probably shouldn't get too distracted from that

To be completely honest, I had not heard of that one before. The list of features looks impressive - and I can certainly understand why some Minecraft server admins would find it attractive - but based on a cursory overview of its advertised features it appears to have several disadvantages compared to Minecraft Server Manager. From a usability perspective, McMyAdmin appears to only allow administration via a GUI. While graphical interfaces (whether that be a web GUI or native GUI) are attractive in some cases, I consider them something to be avoided in server administration. Furthermore McMyAdmin imposes some ridiculous limitations on free users. For example, I see no reason why the server should be limited to 10 users in-game for the free personal version. The official Minecraft server binary is available for free and imposes no such restriction, so McMyAdmin is apparently doing extra work to impose an artificial restriction in that regard! There are also several features which Minecraft Server Manager prominently advertises - such as integrated backups, automatic server updates, convenient log access, and support for running multiple Minecraft servers simultaneously on the same host - which the McMyAdmin documentation makes no mention of. Finally, McMyAdmin seems to be fairly light on official documentation and is not open-source. I think I'll pass.

    • Gen Atlas is the next game from Shadow of the Colossus creator, this time with giant robots by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The mind behind widely well-received games like Ico, Shadow of the Colossus, and The Last Guardian, Fumito Ueda, showed up at Summer Game Fest today, and that was to reveal his latest project. Being developed by genDESIGN, Gen Atlas is incoming with what looks to be plenty of mech and robot action. Watch the reveal trailer, which makes not much sense, above. The game will have players waking up on an abandoned planet where deserted facilities and grand designs from the original creators remain. Soon, they will stumble upon a colossal robot, from which players gain access to the power to change the world. "Across an endless expanse of time, the remnants of those forgotten constructs begin to move once more," adds the studio. The gameplay snippets seen in the trailer show the player character climbing giant robots (as expected from the creator), while also controlling these titans somehow as well. This is a fully single-player open-world adventure. “The team and I are grateful to all the fans who’ve been eager to learn more about our game,” says Fumito Ueda, CEO and creative director of genDESIGN. “Their passion and enthusiasm has always motivated and inspired us. We hope to share an experience that inspires moments of quiet wonder and discovery.” Before gaining the name Gen Atlas, Ueda first announced this project back in 2024 with the codename Project Robot. Interestingly, this will be a project being funded and published by Epic Games, which should mean that a Steam release is out of the question. Gen Atlas will be releasing on Epic Games Store, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5. A release date has not been announced just yet.
    • How backwards can you have it? Yes, Linux was gaining because of Linux handhelds and the push for gaming compatibility, but that's not desktop users, it barely converts anyone who owns a SteamDeck, though it helps for those who wanted to do it, but anyways, the AI+RAM debacle helped Linux because people can't easily upgrade their PCs easily and many hate AI so they'd be incentivized to try Linux.
