Need More People On This Minecraft Server

How much RAM do I need for a 4-person Minecraft server?

Hi, Vanilla Minecraft doesn’t need much ram. You can start with 512MB or 1GB and it should be enough. If it is laggy you can always upgrade your plan.However a server doesn’t only need lots of ram to run well. My server has 6GB ram and has 20 people online and about 30 plugins without lag.We have experienced some chunk loading / world lag and we’ve fixed that by switching to a hosting provider that offered SSD hosted servers.Also server specifications such as RAM type/speed, CPU and Storage (HDD or SSD) can be taken into account for the overall performance of a server.

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.

What are some good specs for a minecraft server?

Thanks for the A2A!So I am the head admin and co-owner of my server. The reason behind the “co-owner” is that I am not a great programmer and I know very little about computer specifications. However, I did speak to the other co-owner of my server. He’s a savvy programmer and an overall intelligent person.He actually had a few scenarios with different required specs. In the case of a LAN server with few people, you only need about 3 gb of RAM and about 200 mb of free storage for backups and saves. He suggested an Intel Core 2 Duo, as well as a solid internet connection. This is all you need for a simple LAN server.Larger servers require a bit more juice. Our server only features about 20 constant players, so we do not actually know much about larger servers. I can point you in the right direction for information, fortunately! In addition to extra google research, the Minecraft Wiki page is a solid source of information. You could also choose to rent server space from a provider. There are many choose from so you can find a reasonable price and maybe charge people when they join or take donations for ranks.Feel free to check out my building guide in my blog, and if you are interested in additional help, I encourage you to request more answers from me and I can find relevant information!Here are some rental sites:Apex Minecraft HostingBisect Hosting

I have Minecraft for the PS4 and I want to create a server. Is there any way for people to play when I'm offline?

You may not be able to create one yourself, but depending on the availability, you can look into buying Minecraft realms within the game which gives you access to your own private world to fill with games, maps or just a survival experience.It runs 24/7 so you and your friends can enjoy a fun multiplayer experience whenever you wish together or alone when your friends aren't on. Anyone can join whenever and only one of you have to pay.

How can two people play in the same minecraft world?

You can host your own server and give people the name of it or if you don’t want to spend money, you can do it through LAN (Stands for Land area Network). The way you do it is first you have to make sure you and the person you want to play with are on the same network, second create a world, go into your menu, there should be an option that says Open to LANHere’s a picture just to help.This is what the menu should look like.You click on start LAN world if you did it correctly then it should appear in your friends List of Multiplayer servers

What makes a minecraft server stand out for you? What do you consider important aspects of massively popular minecraft servers? What (in your opinion) makes a minecraft server successful?

Personally I think that you shouldn't have minigames. There are already thousands of minigames servers out there. You can have them, just don't make it the selling point. What you should make your server is amazing. Make it amazing in some aspect. The reason Mineplex is a famous server is because there are a ton of developers making original plugins. This means that you won't find that exact minigame in any other server. Another thing they are good at is producing. They are good at designing and putting out maps that are creative and original. A lot of time is put into making a map balanced and fun. Unless you are good at java programming, or have a friend who is proficient in it, don't make a minigames server. What makes a good server is how appealing it is to the eye. Make sure whoever is joining feels a need to stay. One way I did this is by using command blocks to change a sign to say Welcome [username] to [Server name which at the time was called MECVERSE]. Make sure you know what type of server you want. Is it Survival, RPG, modded? To build a community without coding fun plugins you need to have it be very good in some aspect. It has to be different and excellent at what it does differently. Start off with a couple few players. You'd be surprised how well you can grow a server from one or two people. Make sure the first 20 that join become very close to you. This makes them loyal allies in your quest to make your server popular!Also, don't make a bunch of your new pals staff members. Don't make all your real-life friends staff members either. Make sure you make the people who you trust the most, with the epic duty of maintaining a server while you're gone, the staff. Colours. You need colours! Especially a good colour scheme. When people are welcomed, they like to know that they are. Don't pick dark colours that darken the mood; pick loud ones that give off the impression of a fun server. Good luck with your adventures as a Server Owner!
