I cant login? Help please

Botuts (2010-08-28)

How do you play without premium account?

torrentine1 (2010-08-28)

Which OS are you using?

torrentine1 (2010-08-28)

Put the .minecraft (rename the .minecraft folder to minecraft for Mac OS X) folder in one of these folders, depending on which OS you have.
XP: Documents and Settings\$USER$\Application Data
Vista: Users\$USER$\AppData\Roaming
Mac OS X: /Users//Library/Application Support/
Linux: /home/USERNAME/
The can go anywhere.
Run the and click login without entering in any info.
The game will say "Login failed." then click Play offline.

NanoEntity1 (2010-08-28)

This is kind of useless, because its in EXE format, good for a newbie to mess around with though.
Next time release it in JAR format the server and mine craft.
Because you can edit them and add add-ons/mods, this is kind of bad lol.
Your pretty much stuck with the lame features, cant add anything that is on minecraft forums.

Dietrever (2010-08-28)

the problem is that you need to play online first to play offline, so, no chance

j8k3y-b01 (2010-08-28)

@torrentine1
Thanks bro, works great, just needed to move that folder into where you said, load up the game and dont type anything in login, it will say failed, then click play offline, simples :D

j8k3y-b01 (2010-08-28)

Why is it always snowing though?

j8k3y-b01 (2010-08-28)

Ah dont worry, i know now :')

GeneralDollin (2010-08-28)

fanatic49 (2010-08-28)

Can you play multiplayer with this?

Gooxgoox (2010-08-28)

I cannot click play offline, it says i need to play once online to play offline. Please help!

L1thium (2010-08-28)

Thanks for the torrent! Works fine.

@torrentine1
Where do you place .minecraft in windows 7?

ReaperOne1Two2 (2010-08-28)

Host of torrent if you would add my instruction to the discription it would be great. I'm putting down steps to install the game AND play multiplayer.

Instructions

1) First Make sure you downloaded the correct launcher for your system along with the server files and .minecraft.
2) Drag your .exe file to your desktop or .jar depending on what system your on.
3) Next drag your server folder to your desktop(The entire folder not just one the one file or else it will spam your desktop with files) This step can be ignored if you have no plans to ever host.
4) Now for the .minecraft folder. If you don't get a play offline button when failing to log in this is where you messed up like so many of you posted. Open run from Start->All Programs-> Accessories and type in %appdata% and drag your .minecraft folder into here.(Yes the whole folder)
5)Now run your .exe to see if your window pops up asking for a login name just hit login then play offline.(Your done right now if you have no interest to play online).
6) Now for online play. Your server must be in lan so you will need to use hamachi etc.. Run the exe inside the server folder atleast once then close it.(Ignore this step if your not hosting ever)

ReaperOne1Two2 (2010-08-28)

7) Activate lan server. Inside the server folder you ran the serverfile in atleast once you have many new files. One file is called server and it's a PROPERTIES File.
Open this with notepad(If you really cant find out which file this is open both in notepad. *Hint* It's the One that doesn't already open in notepad). This can be done by right clicking going to properties and clicking change.
8) Now for the part where you actually get the client to connect to the server with multiple people without kicking them out. Everyone by default is named Player by default
and no duplicate names are allowed. You will need a memory ediot of some sort.(Not allowed to put this part probably but dl this one)
9) After the memory editor is installed open the game and goto the multiplayer connection screen but don't connect. Now open the memory editor and put the Search value
as player and data type as string. You'll get quite a few results but you want to edit the only one that is Value=Player and Type=WideString.Right click edit and connect to lan server of your choice. The name must be 6 letters or less and if it's less add spaces.

Works fine with offline mode, but have problems with MP "outdated client" ...

j8k3y-b01 (2010-08-28)

@ReaperOne1Two2 When i run the server, then close it, there are no new files?

eman101 (2010-08-28)

I get an error that says user not premium. What exactly do i have to put into the mem editor? I found the player wide string thing and theres a shitload of things.

eman101 (2010-08-28)

what exactly do i put when i hit edit player on the mem editor. Also i try to connect to my hamachi ip and it says im not premium

@achilles511
The Windows Vista location is the same for Windows 7.
@ReaperOne1Two2
I cannot edit the torrent description, I get a page that just says Error.

torrentine1 (2010-08-28)

If you cannot connect to your server, make sure the server.properties file (edit with notepad or whatever) has online-mode=false
This will set it to unsecure mode which wont check the minecraft.net server for logins.
If you can forward ports then you dont actually need hamachi, minecraft uses port 25565.

ReaperOne1Two2 (2010-08-28)

Everyone if you get a not premium error I totally forgot to add/failed to explain something in step 7. When you open the server file in notepad it should look like this.
#Minecraft server properties
#Tue Aug 24 04:29:03 EDT 2010
online-mode=false
server-ip=
server-port=25565
max-players=20
level-name=world
verify-names=false
Make sure you have online-mode=false and not true. This makes sure the server is lan. Also you can connect with internet i.p's even without hamachi or a lan program for some reason.
@dzuwno
You may have not downloaded the server folder from the torrent or are launching an old one by mistake. You can get it from the main page in the download section for the newest client. The server should read version 0.1.4 when you run it at the very top line. Also make sure in game on single player it reads 1.0.17_04 in the top right.
@j8k3y-b01
Make sure you wait for the server to fully setup. The first time it takes quite a bit at the end it should read something like
"[INFO] Done! For help, type "help" or "?""
The files should be made inside the server launchers location.
@eman101
Once you have the game open on the multiplayer screen and open the mem editor you do a search for Player and string make sure you left click on the one named Player(The only one that is a widestring) right click edit then you only change the name Player to any name 6 charcters or less(If it's less add spaces so it equals 6 charcters). The premium error solution is at the top of this post.

and my own server (when im only playing) is little laggy

ReaperOne1Two2 (2010-08-29)

@eman
Sorry responded earlyier but it didn't submit. When on the game on the multiplayer screen after hitting play offline open the memory editor click Add task and add javaw.exe(It should show up when the game is open). Then you make sure the Search value is on Player and Data type is string. Then just select the only string listed as Player with Widestring to the right. Right click hit edit and change Player to anything and make sure it is equal to 6 charcters space counts. Then right click on it again and hit refresh and join a server of your choice. You can close to memory editor at this point.
@dzuwno
That's another bug unrelated to to this. I saw it mentioned under the FAQ I think on the site or something. Just type it in google and you'll probably find it or the forums. Has something to do with the system clock I think. If it's your first time launching and connecting to the server it's loading lag due to generating the map. Look in all directions for like 5 seconds and see if that fixes it. It should go away.
@ EnvuxiFreaK
You forgot to hit add task an choose javaw.exe Check emans response for funn details.
@ex1ver
I heard someone else mention that try to run as administrator I think fixed it. That or the forums, haven't had the problem so I can't fully say. You may have somehow installed it wrong. If your on a mac nothing I can really say.
@wedealindrams
I don't have a mac eaither so I can't say. My instructions only apply to windows.

ReaperOne1Two2 (2010-08-29)

@matlon
Those server properties are generated inside a file called server the first time your run the server.exe basically. Then you open the server file with notepad and change online-mode from true to false so it should read online-mode=false instead of online-mode=true.
That only is for running a server to make it so it doesn't check if the players connecting are using a valid login. To play offline basically drag .minecraft into the folder using %appdata% in run, then running the launcher that was in a folder you downloaded. Then you just type in anything or leave it blank hit play then hit play offline.
If your not hosting a server you can ignore the minecraft server properties.

Velstyx (2010-08-29)

I've had trouble with EVERY Minecraft torrent, i've only seen one other person with this problem as well
i can get into the game fine (only singleplayer, thought i should get this sorted out before trying lan) but the only materials i can collect are meat, flowers etc.
Please can someone help me out- i created this account just for this question.

HaKeRiZ (2010-08-29)

Hey guys, thanks for the help. But I still have some problems trying to play multiplayer. Me and my friend try to connect to my server. I did all steps, edited my name, joined the server. Everything works fine. But my friend cant join. In-game it says : Player joined the game. And I can see him floating in the air. But all my friend can see is window that says : Logging in. After few seconds he gets an error. Something to do with java. Any help?

Velstyx (2010-08-29)

Ive tried this out on three of my PCs and none of them have worked
My friend however, with a little guidance over msn has his working fine... Has anyone got the same problem as me and if so do they know how to fix it?

toxicfired9 (2010-08-29)

I've done all the directions and when i run the server it says its in insecure mode and all that but when I go to 'login' it doesn't give me the offline button still. Username or no username. It almost seems as if the launcher isnt recognizing the server and wants to connect to the minecraft site. Any suggestions?

toxicfired9 (2010-08-29)

oh wait nvm, i got it. Thanks!!

omar6000 (2010-08-29)

EVERYONE on mac has the same problem, the black screen, I've renamed the .minecraft folder, put in /Users/namehere/Library/Application Support and I've put the 'Other OS server' on my desktop along with the Minecraft launcher and I've edited the server.properties in textedit (notepad). Everything loads up fine and after clicking Login and Play offline a load screen flashes up for less than a second and then comes up with a black screen. I've checked their forums and there's nothing. This works fine on Windows.

ex1ver (2010-08-29)

I have a LITTTTTLEEE solution for the black screen after clicking play offline.
ok you must be fast. when the mojang blabla comes click-click-click. then you will get in the game. yeah its not a very good solution but.. better then nothing.

ex1ver (2010-08-29)

Chabs232 (2010-08-30)

Peoples with those server problems, try to check all files that could contain letters in them if you open with notepad, (look for files named like... I dunno config, options, settings, whatever, with whatever file type) then try to look for those kinds of settings. Use your logic.

totte1127 (2010-08-30)

I got it all to work except one thing, all of my friends and me are nicking "player" so we can only be one on the server each time. I have followed every step but i just cant get step 8-9.

ReaperOne1Two2, i have a problem with name change, i open the Quick Memory Editor (is this the right software?) when im in the multiplayer screen (with the I.P field). And what i get is 3, not 1 "player" values with widestring. If i try to edit them and connect to the game i'm still called player.
Could you please post the "adress" of the correct string?

Already done that, basically all you can change is maxplayers and the server port and wether it should be online or offline.
It seems like that's the way it is right now, it's still in developement.

yea man i have window 7 to on my mac and its sensitivity flips out to, like it just spins all over! i tried to lower the sensitivity of the mouse but it didn't do anything. i went online (on my Mac) and went to minecraft.net and played minecraft in the browser, and it was just fine! but now i get the black screen of death :(

Sorry i ment the torrent gives me the black. but the browser is good.

ReaperOne1Two2 (2010-08-31)

@ciderzak
1) If you see anyt that says like Player*gun*hold etc... ignore those and make sure your on the multiplayer screen when doing it there should only be one that has a value of just Player with widestring.
2) You didn't edit the server value to false. Check a few others asking it also on page 2.
@dzuwno
There's a few mods on the forums that have a workaround for the furnace and bucket. There's nothing that can be done about the rest till the game maker fixes it as it's just not programmed fully atm.
@calvinmc5
go to whatismyip to figure out your online ip and fully do the instructions.
@JoinX same as dzuwno nothing can be done.
@totte1127 You just have to make sure you edit the name Player in memory editor before joining. How far are you getting with it?
@Fodalite If I remember the address generates a new one every time so I can't. There should be only one correct Player it sometimes shows up as Player | Just keep trying ones till you get the right one. It's normally 2nd one down.
@Leetn00b lol yah quite a few people didn't realise you have to hold click down to actually break stuff. You can't just single click it.
@DJX3 at best make sure all drivers are updated etc... other then that no.

Has no one found a fix for the Mac black screen yet?

dzuwno (2010-09-01)

Where i can find private 24/h server to play ?

Brolaf (2010-09-01)

Alright, so I have a friend that's trying to play on my server. I started up the server with the following server properties:
#Minecraft server properties
#Mon Aug 30 19:13:38 EDT 2010
online-mode=false
server-ip=
server-port=25565
max-players=20
level-name=world
verify-names=false
I can connect to my server using 127.0.0.1. But when I tell my friend my IP (from ipchicken.com), he can't connect and he gets a "timeout" message. I'd appreciate if you could help me.

cheeser180 (2010-09-01)

It's a little laggy, but it's playable. Thanks!

earthmage (2010-09-01)

yup black screen right when i start it up. My specs on my mac laptop are decent. It should be more than enough to at least run minecraft. If anyone could figure this out, it would be greatly appreciated by me and many others.

southpauw (2010-09-01)

whoever fixes the black screen wins! :)

wedealindreams (2010-09-01)

Yeah that's what I'm waiting for. I'm waiting for some smart Mac Pro to fix the game. Its only Java so it should play anyways

liam689 (2010-09-01)

does this game work online?
with friends who own the game

liam689 (2010-09-01)

is this the full game?
and can i play online with friends who actually own the game

crocer95 (2010-09-01)

When I download this for mac my .minecraft file never appears and I accidentally deleted the data in the minecraft folder in application support. Please help

@crocer95
Mac OS automatically treats any file with a . at the start as hidden.
So to unhide this, google it.

@Tails
Please explain again. I dont get what this is or what this is for. Black Screen?

fjurer (2010-09-02)

when i go to change the name of my character when i search for the value player of type string i find 3 named player . when i change one of them and enter the server of my friend i would still be name player and my friend would be kicked out of the server.

hi,
im using Windows xP
and i dont have the program "RUN"
is there a way to install it or something??
already many thanks

lamerlade (2010-09-02)

I could use some help with multiplayer,
My server properties file looks like this:
#Minecraft server properties
#Tue Aug 31 15:20:22 EDT 2010
online-mode=false
server-ip=
server-port=25565
max-players=20
level-name=world
verify-names=false
I can start up the server fine, and it gives the right messages (Done! for help type.. etc)
But when i go to multiplayer and type in my ip, I can't connect. Is there something i forgot to do?

lamerlade (2010-09-02)

never mind, i got it working
i just have that problem with invincible players, invincible animals, and no enemies. any fix?

coreAIR (2010-09-02)

When i get to the single player screen, and i select a world, it starts making the world and setting up stuff, but as soon as it starts "Simulating" the world, the game freezes for a moment, then turns black, briefly flickering with a screen with a box with a scroll bar, before returning to the black screen which keeps on going.
Help?

ReaperOne1Two2 (2010-09-02)

@Brolaf
It's eaither due to a port issue or firewall. Also 127.0.0.1 if I recall is a lan i.p not an internet one. Most internet i.p's look like this
xx.xx.xxx.xxx
x=numbers
@liam689
Yes, if the server settings for online-mode=false and verify-names=false on the server. It's also the full game. Onlines a bit buggy at the moment.
@fjurer
Keep trying each one till you find the right one. They generally always spawn in the same spot on the list by default.
@IneedHelp899
Drag the .minecraft folder to c:\Windows\Users\name\appdata
\roaming If I recall. IT should be something like that. The path I gave may not be 100% correct but should be pretty close.
@lamerlade
There's currently no fix for that in online as it's not fully programmed yet. You can kill critters with cactus and lava or falling. There's also no enemy npc's and bucket/forge is glitched badly without a server mod that can be found on the sites forums.

WalterWulf007 (2010-09-02)

Can you tell some minecraft hamachi networks.
pls

diabloj (2010-09-02)

Hey im settip up my own minecraft server to play with my friends on LAN, I've started the server.exe changed the properties to false, gone to multiplayer. Then I enter quick memory editor but when I search for player and string there pops up 3 widestrings with ''player''. I change all of them to ''random'' and I end up haveing ''Singelplayer'' and ''Multiplayer'' being ''Singlerandom'' and ''Multirandom''
Please submit the ''address'' of the string I have to change, Thanks :-)

WalterWulf007 (2010-09-03)

@christian549
You change one that is (Player |).Something like that.You cahnge that to any name of 6 characters or less.If it is less just rpleace it with space(Oh my eanglish is realy bad).

ReaperOne1Two2 (2010-09-03)

@Diabloj
You need to use Player not player with a capital P.
For anyone getting the 3 widestring issues your not using Player is why it's doing that. Cap's count. This is why I couldn't seem to check why anyone was getting that.
@christian
Same issue as above. Fix it to Player not player and edit the only one that appears. IF somehow your still getting the issue WalterWulf007 has the other problem you may have.
@WalterWulf007
Your english is easily understood for the most.
You don't actually need hamachi also to connect to servers unless you specifically want them. You can connect via internet to the servers even in offline mode. Best place to find servers currently is the forums.

sabetts (2010-09-03)

for mac users getting the black screen, here's a fix.
The problem is you don't have the jmonkeyengine native binaries. download this:
then copy these files to the Minecraft/bin/ folder:
jinput.jar
lwjgl.jar
lwjgl_util.jar
(yes you're overwriting the existing ones)
then copy these files to Minecraft/bin/native/ folder:
libjinput-osx.jnilib
liblwjgl.jnilib
openal.dylib
(yes, these are missing)
The above files are from the jmonkeyengine archive that you downloaded and are in the directories:


Good luck!

tails-4 (2010-09-03)

@southpauw.
That is just for installing it normally for a mac.
However the mac version doesnt work at the moment.

Hey guys :D
i found a solution 4 the black screen (not mac)
after 3 hours searching i realized that my graphiccard is old.
so i updated it.
and it worked!
so i had a "via s3g km400/kn400" (i know not good)
all you must do is to update your grap.card
(it worked 4 me) i hope it works 4 u :/

Any help, guys?

oh and it doesnt stop updating

R0flc3 (2010-09-06)

For some reason the games lags like crazy on my setup, and I know it shouldn't. I look at the FPS and it goes from high 30s all the way down to 1 FPS all the time. It's a fun game, but the lag kills it for me. Does anyone know how i can get it to stop lagging as hard as it does? I've already tried fancy and fast, and they are the exact same, as far as the FPS goes.

ansari0 (2010-09-06)

cant say anything about this as yet.. apparently my graphics card is too old for this.. it needs openGL support (which i have!!! ffs) i mean i can play halo & unreal tournament just fine.. but not this??

ReaperOne1Two2 (2010-09-06)

@IneedHelp899
Move the .minecraft folder to C:\Users\Username here\AppData\Roaming Then just run the .exe.
@WalterWulf
Make sure he didn't somehow mess up verify-names=false and online-mode=false. There's literally no difference between this client and the bought one other then login names which if server has these set anyone can join.
@samb311
You didn't replace the old .minecraft file in %appdata% under run.
@isitko
If it's not giving you the option at all you probably forgot to move the .minecraft folder. IF you physically can't click it not a clue try asking forums since it's first time I have heard that.
@ShiftyHQ
Hold left click on objects don't single click.
@IneedHelp899
Shifty answered that above I also have manual path posted above.
@zstet
If you mean user not premium the serverhost needs to change settings if you really mean bad login error make sure when you changed your name you changed the right value or server has ports open.
@poobill make sure you installed java.
@Koolaidkid10
You get an error message! ZOMG WE CAN TOTALLY FIGURE OUT WHICH ERROR THAT IS.
@Trikzed
You didn't move the .minecraft folder to the correct spot.
@shady454
Be more specific as to why.
@FUUCK
Make sure you have java installed and graphics drivers. No clue on that one.
@WiredReflexes
Your using another torrent or didn't update or something. Follow all steps for this torrent.
@r0flc3
If it doesn't go away after a few minutes on the first run of the game or when your running a farther distance and has random spikes for a bit due to new parts of the map loading make sure you have updated graphics etc... You can also try to run it in single core and see if that fixes it. Try asking there forums also they probably have a better solution.
@ansari0
Which graphics card is it? And make sure you installed the drivers for the game at all since opengl is updated through your driver install if I recall.

ex1ver (2010-09-06)

i have no problems.
i had the black screen.
lagg problems.
and now... nothing :D
4 the black screen i just updated my graphic-card
and 4 the lagg problem... i dont know :D

bobbey12 (2010-09-08)

Before you post a friggin comment, read EVERY PAGE of comments. It's most likely that the answers are there, so theclayman you cant kill anything because you aren't holding down the left click button. To mine something, you MUST hold down something unless your killing flowers. That's been repeated atleast 5 times in this comments section.
And whoever posted the codes for the mac black screen problem, sorry it didn't work :P. Anyone that has another solution, post it here.

@bobbey12
No problem, trying my best to help out although I take a bit to respond due to other things. Well try to narrow this down to see what's causing it.
I am fairly certain it is currently caused by the server setup not having the correct settings. If your not the serverhost make sure inside the server properties file that online-mode=false
and verify-names=false. I can also throw up a test server which I don't leave up normally for you to try on also.
@Blazinghavocx
You forgot to move the .minecraft folder to %appdata% under run.
@hasaosan
... read the instructions posted and ask if you have a certain problem.
@ownsall60
It sounds like currently you have a firewall blocking connections or your ports are closed on your router. I added you and put the invitation comment as From TPB but you blocked me as if you have downsyndrome as soon as I said Hi.
@Antivenom
It may be a ports/firewall issue. If you leave an email I will add you and throw up a test server real quick for you to try on which will give the answer right away.
@the_clayman
Hold down left click to break blocks. Most people make the same mistake lol.
@TRWartune
Obviously.
I will add people to help test servers when they get a wierd error connecting to servers to see if it's a port issue also if you leave an email.

@ReaperOne1Two2 why don't u make a tutorial video wouldn't that makes it easier ???

EbilPhish (2010-09-09)

I made some instructions for Ubuntu users as the native libraries are not included on Ubuntu 10.04. They might be in the next Ubuntu 10.10 though.
Just dump the Minecraft.jar file anywhere you want (I made a dir in /opt which is the semi-official location for such packages)
Put .minecraft in your home directory.
Ubuntu users need the java monkey engine libraries. These are for Maverik but we can extract just the necessary .so file and it works fine:
(this has .so file, 32bit gives error on my 64bit version)
(64bit version)
Extract the package with (Change package name):
dpkg -x /tmp/lwjgl
Find the usr/lib/jni/liblwjgl.so and dump in in ~/.minecraft/bin/natives
java -jar /opt/Minecraft/Minecraft.jar
That should probably work, but you might also need to set your Java to the offical sun build, haven't tried it using the openjdk:
apt-get install sun-java6-jre (or is this sun-java6-jdk? just install both, you might need to add another repo or something, just Google it)
update-java-alternatives -s java-6-sun
There is some error about libjinput-linux64.so but it doesn't seem to matter. You could probably track it down in packages.ubuntu.com and do the same extract thing if you want).

@bo_waleed55
lay off dude, ReaperOne1Two2 is doing a hell of a job and this isnt even his torrent...
Lay off....
Good job reaper.

ReaperOne1Two2 (2010-09-10)

@kyler
1) Nope, there's no auto update with this as far as i'm aware of.
2) What have you tried to do the reskins?
Normally you just open the minecraft.jar in the bin folder within .minecraft in %appdata% using winzip then just drag and drop your new skin over the old one. Haven't tested reskins on multiplayer.
@bo_waleed55
Currently I don't want to go dl screencapping software to do that. Although when multiplayer is fully functioning I may make a picture one. If anyone else wants to take on a video one that would be nice.
@tails-4
Thanks.

bobbey12 (2010-09-10)

DiabolusIgnis (2010-09-10)

Hey, I can't fix the "you're not a premium user" problem. I'm using Windows XP.

S3BBY (2010-09-11)

Alright, Question!
I've already made an account on Minecraft|net, and whenever I try to log in using minecraft.exe, it says I'm not a premium user.
How can I play online, w/ an account on Minecraft?

TRWartune (2010-09-11)

@reaper i try to get online and i did wat u said but this is wat it says that the login fail and that user is not pruumim{if thats how u spell it lol}
can u help

Dragday (2010-09-11)

@TRWartune
all will need to do to play is follow this steps
1) Go to start and click in RUN ( or just press windows + r ) , when the menu opens type in the box %appdata%.
2) it will open a folder , so get the .minecraft folder ,you have downloaded ,and put it there ( in %appdata% that opened with your command )
3) Now open your Laucher ( see your OS laucher )
4) The game will open with a login screen , let it in blank , press ok and put play offilne =)
it worked for me and my friend try it out

Dragday (2010-09-11)

@S3BBY
to be a premium user you need to buy the game =x
but you can play without paying , follow this steps
EVERYONE MUST DO IT TO PLAY
1) Go to start and click in RUN ( or just press windows + r ) , when the menu opens type in the box %appdata%.
2) it will open a folder , so get the .minecraft folder ,you have downloaded ,and put it there. ( in %appdata% that opened with your command )
3) Now open your Laucher ( see your OS laucher )
4) The game will open with a login screen , let it in blank , press ok and put play offilne =)
5) Select singleplayer , and select a space DONE you are now playing minecraft =)
Ps : you can also play online with your friends ,
1) Go to your server folder , open a file named server.propriestes ( open it with notepad ) , change the online mode to false ( it will make NOT premium users be able to join to , like you and your friends ) .
2) LEAVE SERVER IP IN BLANK!
3) Go to minecraft server.exe and lauch it .
4) Opne minecraft , click login and play offiline , and search in google for Quick Memory Editor.
5) aff you installed it , open it ( with the minecraft on ) put to search the value : Player ( with capital in P ) and search as string.
6) There is a file with Player - WideString ( there is only one ) click in edit/lock and change to other name with 6 letters ( if less complete with spaces ), also let the square in final after your name.
7) Now to join your server go to multplayer and type 127.0.0.1
8) to your friend to your server get your ip ( type myip in google ) and send to your friend + the port of the game .
9) Remember to unblock minecraft and minecraft server at firewall.

Dragday (2010-09-11)

i mad a tutorial in comment but i cant post?

Dig1taL (2010-09-11)

Reaper, I have a problem.
When I use the Memory Editor, I get 3 "Player" & "WideString" results. How do I know which one to edit? Or do I edit them all?

Dig1taL (2010-09-11)

I'm not making a public server for the moment, so I didn't change my name from "public"
So I launched the server and put "localhost" as the IP. It said connecting but then said Timed Out.

Dig1taL (2010-09-11)

I skipped changing my name from Public
I tried to connect to localhost and it just says timed out

lauriraudla (2010-09-11)

upload newest version plz

Dragday (2010-09-11)

@Dig1taL
Make sure u have searched for Player ( with capital in P ) and as string... i think if u search for player ( without capital ) it will find 3 players with widestring.
So search for Player
And to connect to your server try 127.0.0.1 instead if localhost

Dig1taL (2010-09-12)

Thanks, got it working :)
My sister connected from our network too.
Problem though - I can't delete or pick up any blocks. Why's that?
Also, if I close the server and open it again, will it make a new world? Because me and a friend want to make a world that we can both use and build up like, a whole town of buildings and things.
This wont work if the map changes every time the server closes. If that happens, how do I stop it from happening?

kyler45 (2010-09-12)

can you please upload the newest version?

Dragday (2010-09-12)

@Dig1taL
i had the same problem of the blocks when i created for the first time. in the menu ( the screen you need to let open to run server ) type there save-off
them re-open your server .
everytime you want to save something in your world type in server screen save-all.
I had also problems to save what a have done in my world with my friend.
So i got a map from single player ( go to .minecraft/saves/ ) and you copy a world from there.. for example World3. Paste it at your server folder ( the folder that have server.properties ) .
Remeber also to change name level-name in server.proprerties to the current world you will use.
Try this =)

Dragday (2010-09-12)

NEW VERSION PLSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

Dig1taL (2010-09-12)

Thanks for your help Dragday :)
But just one question.
What do you mean the menu where I type save-off?
Do you mean in the server.properties file? Or in the place where I type 127.0.0.1? I'm confused, sorry.

Dig1taL (2010-09-12)

I've also come across a few other problems.
I can't loose health. Bad mobs don't spawn (spiders, skeletons, etc.) I've only seen a chicken. And I can't kill the chicken either.

ReaperOne1Two2 (2010-09-12)

@DiablousIgnis
You didn't move the .minecraft folder to the right location. Follow steps on where to put it or check a few of the pages, I had full path posted somewhere if you don't have run.
@S3BBY Do as Dragsays you don't log in with any account.
@TRWartune
The server host didn't put online-mode=false and verify-names=false inside the server files.
@Dragday thanks.
@Dig1tal
Currently mobs can't take damage. The new version also has the same issue but actually has enemy mobs atleast. They can only die to lava etc...
As for a new world everytime that doesn't seem right. Run the server as administrator and don't play it till it says like done or something like that.
Also you can't break blocks in the spawn area within 30 squares. Just a note incase that was your no loot issue. I haven't ran into any save issues as dragday has.
@lauriraudla
Yes, we do need someone who has a good source to put the newest versions. I'm going to check 4chan and a few others to see if they have the newest version yet. If I manage to be first to upload a torrent i'll put better instructions then what's around.

fjurer (2010-09-12)

i can play multiplayer and stun like that but when i go out fro the server and then go back in all my tools are lost and i know the cheat code, but when i enter a cheat nothing happens is there a program i need to download or it is because it is not the original game

Dig1taL (2010-09-12)

Did you say that there are NO mobs in the 0.17 version?
Anyway, thanks for your help guys :0

gakor (2010-09-13)

@Reaper:
First off I'd like to thank you for everything you've done so far.
You've helped so much and it isn't even your torrent.
Anyways, for the most part everything seems to be going smoothly. However, I can't find a way to SAVE my stuff when on my LAN server.
The landscape and stuff stays, but my inventory empties out every time I relog, as do chests and stuff.
I spent a lot of time mining so I can get some building started, but when I logged in I found that all my materials were gone.
Is there any way around this?
Thanks! :D

gakor (2010-09-13)

Hmm, nevermind. I got the new torrent - the 1.1 alpha, and this problem seems to have been solved.
Looks like mobs can't die, still, though.
and now i'm having trouble getting other people into the server... >_>

elementsk8ter (2010-09-14)

ok i have xp it starts up but then it does the black screen thing like the macs are doing or whatever some one plz help

Beefbars (2010-09-15)

I don't know if this happened to anyone else, It could just be my computer, but everything is working fine so far except one thing. Once I click "Play offline" It just stops at the "Updating Minecraft" screen. It says "Done loading", but the bar isn't all the way full, and nothing has happened in ten minutes. What's up with that?

emillo108 (2010-09-17)

".minecraft" is hided! my computer didn't show hided folders and I have been chearchinlike an idiot for finding it!!!!

As4ss1n (2010-09-19)

Cool upload but when i start the game it laggs after a minute and it will keep lagged till i quit it :( any solution? thx

1nsan1ty (2010-09-19)

The have made an update for this so when ever you play it make sure you are not connected to the internet when you start the game so that the game wont fuck up and be useless, and re connect to the internet when you are in your map

bakkerboy465 (2010-09-19)

im doin everything ive ever been told to... however it still tells me "please play online once before playing offline"

Xalx09 (2010-09-19)

Okay well ive been playing this for like 2-3 days now (perfectly mobs take damage and everything dungeons and all that good stuff) and i have opened and closed it numerous times and it worked everytime but now when i open it, it says "Fatal error 5" and some other crap i run it on a mac can anyone help?

bobobby (2010-09-19)

I get this error:
"Failed To Launch
fatal error occurred (5): null
Extracting lwjgl.jar.lzma to lwjgl.jar"
help please?

bobbey12 (2010-09-19)

@Xalx09 I am having the exact same problem. Do you have a loading bar where it says like extracting lwjgl.jar.lzma to lwjgl.jar? because i checked in the minecraft folder and it made those things and now i dont know what to do :(
REAPER TO THE RESCUE (hopefully)

bobbey12 (2010-09-19)

*waits impatiently for reaper to come*

Gornax (2010-09-19)

Got the same error aswell, but, i went to minecraft.net, saying the server was down, have to download the new launcher, it works.
"Minecraft
This is a temporary page.
Minecraft got way too popular for this humble server. I've had to disable everything fancy to even get it to run. It went down on Saturday, September 18.
It will probably go back to normal on Monday, September 20.
If your launcher is giving you download errors, please update the launcher by downloading the latest version from this page."

Vennon_Perrow (2010-09-19)

wtf... don't try to explain guyz cause you don't get it.. it worked for me at first i've been playing it for a couple months. but now it says there's an update available.. and it updates itself automaticaly, it doesn't work if i disconnect either

Dig1taL (2010-09-19)

For the people getting update errors:
Download the file below, it doesn't matter where to.
Run it, it will update.
Then you can open your original Minecraft.exe from your Minecraft folder and it'll work just fine.

Xalx09 (2010-09-21)

To the maker of this torrent or to someone else skilled i have downloaded both the windows and mac version of this and my request to you guys is to crack this new version i run mac but since most of you run windows i will provide with windows version as well. If any of you know how to crack it on mac can you tell me so i can do it myself

Spironic (2010-09-22)

Tried Dig1taL's solution and it didn't work. Weird though, that the Windows version allows me to play offline with the out-of-date software and the linux version does not..

Retooler (2010-09-23)

Working perfect, people also look on page 1 of this torrent to followup instructions regards how-to-play this. From Torrentine1. Rate this torrent up if things go well people.

MrWezel (2010-09-24)

Hey,
I tried playing online on my own little server.
I have followed all of the instructions, but i keep getting the 'Launcher Outdated' error :S

nickcob (2010-09-29)

MrWezel (2010-10-01)

My problem is solved.

BLACK SCREEN FIX!

@ReaperOne1Two2
hi everyone and reaper,
if i were to set up my LAN mutliplayer, can other people join my game? or does the people have to be in my network to play with me?

habbada (2010-11-02)

FOR MAC USERS:
I had the "must play online once" problem, even after renaming the .minecraft folder and moving it to application support.
The problem is the mincraft.app creates a new minecraft folder under application support itself when it's run for the first time.
Move the all the files from the folder you renamed, to this new folder (called simply 'minecraft') and it should work. Hope that helps.

Spiderlord001 (2010-12-17)

Hello i could really use your help i cant log in the Play Offline button is completely gray

nomnomnomnom333 (2011-01-28)

Some of the sounds aren't working like walking on sand, picking up items animals, water. Is there any way I can fix this?

spritman123 (2011-04-17)

Its Minecraft beta!!! fuck you! I want alpha

Resurrection2pac (2011-11-01)

It works PERFECT..
for people who don't know how to instal you just need go to "start",open "run" and write "%appdata%"..
all files you downloaded just copy and paste it in folder ".minecraft" ..
that's all. and make a shortcut of "Minecraft" to desktop that you don't need every time go to the minecraft destination folder. ;)
