How do I get more players on my Minecraft server?
I generally agree with other answers - some reasonable and consistent ruleset + community + advertising is the way. I tried to play it for couple of minutes and I have these notes:- Abundance of messages, I really hate it and it distract from playing- Information usually does not make much sense. For example rules say what is wrong, but not what is right. There is the RPG plugins available, so maybe you want the RPG fans, but there is no info about that. Or maybe you hate them, but why the plugin then. - Inconsistency. There are the simple shops, but random wild teleportation points, but no monsters (easy/peaceful game mode?). So it's not clear if you want newbies or experienced players or which other kind of players. My advice:Think about the server concept. For example I like the survival part the most, but I miss monsters. I like the random wild locations, but it's not clear how can I interact with other players. Also, there is no residence plugin (or I could not find it) and it's not clear how you defend against griefers. I don't mind to mine for resources, but when the diamonds can be bought in a shop, then what is the whole point? With affordable admin shop you attract the lovers of easy game play, is it what you want? Tune down the self promo thing. If I play, I want to enjoy it. I will vote for you if I like the server. I don't care about some stupid reward thing. I also don't understand the command cool down timer. Last command I did was /spawn and there I had to wait two minutes (not 2 seconds as for teleport) for no reason on an empty server. You treat me as a bad person from the very beginning and I don't like it. I expect you to protect my gameplay not to protect the gameplay against me. About advertising and community - paid advertising is not wrong, but it's not the only way. Maybe start to invite people you know and tell them why they should join. Make the server working for them first. They can invite more people.
Is there a way to block chat on a Minecraft server?
If you make a Minecraft server run Spigot/Bukkit and use this plugin: Disable ChatKeep in mind if they join your Minecraft server only the people online on that server can only chat amongst themselves.However, if they are on an external server, check if they have spam protection. Many large servers have good swear word prevention. Make sure to always check if the server has swear word protection though.Disabling chat via the settings is not a very good option as many servers broadcast helpful messages that are nescessay for gameplay.You can limit them from sending chat messages by changing chat settings in multiplayer settings to commands only (Commands are essential)Some big servers have an option to disable seeing outside chat. This is via a command such as /globalchat or /togglechatI can say that Hypixel and TitanMC have pretty good spam and swear word filters as well as amazing hack prevention.Alternatively you can use a client mod to censor chat curse words out, http://www.minecraftforum.net/fo...
