Run a minecraft server on 'the beast'
 

i was kinda wondering.. could i set up a minecraft server in maemo.. not client. Just x-terminal..



To try it yourself:

• install icedtea6
• "It's dangerous to go alone. Download this.
• extraxt all the files from mineserver.zip
• make a new folder /home/user/minecraft
• move the jar-file and the entire world-folder to the folder you just made
• move mineserver.sh to /home/user

I added a world because it can take quite a while te render a new one.. Sometimes it even takes a couple of times before it finishes.

To run it:
i don't know if this helps a lot but turn of bluetooth and your network connection (not WLAN)

• open xterminal
• type "
  Code:

  ---

  ifconfig

  ---

  ". Look for your ip adress where it says
  Code:

  ---

  inet adress 192.168.1.xx

  ---

• type
  Code:

  ---

  sudo gainroot

  ---

• type
  Code:

  ---

  sh mineserver.sh

  ---

Minecraft should begin to load.

open a minecraft client and add the IP you looked for earlier.

If you can't connect to the server because you didn't bought minecraft:

• stop the server by typing
  Code:

  ---

  stop

  ---

• open server.proporties with leafpad or any other text editor.
• change online-mode=true to false
  

  (i suggest disabling other options like allow-nether, spawn-monsters and spaawn-animals)

• start the server again by runnin the script

i think i said everything there is to say..
Ask questions if you have any, i'll be glad to answer them.

please realise that this is a WIP.
And if you tried it, tell me what you experienced, good or bad.
Feedback is important!

If you install IcedTea on the N900 you can already run the official minecraft server software.
But you really need a way better phone to run a proper server. I doubt the n900 could even render the map fully. (Even with a modified server)


Edit: Opencraft is a worldeditor?

where can i find hat icedtea?
i'dd like to test it :)

and i don't really know what opencraft is.. they're not very clear with their explenations and i don't get it to run so..
i think it is a server and/or mapeditor

Well i have some good and some bad news.

Like Wreck sugested, i installed icedtea.

the good news:
I was able to get the jar running.
It was generating a random world :D

But here is where the bad news comes in.
It didn't completely finish. :(
It stopped at about 8%. I think because we got to little RAM (damn you nokia!)

But i was so exited i directly ran craftbukkit.
I'm now looking for a lightweight server.

I'll report back soon! :cool:

ps: someone interessted in the error logfiles?

My Windows Vista machine with 3GB RAM lags and regularly crashes Minecraft if I play it with maximum rendering distance in the video settings.

N900 might be insanely powerful for a phone, but I highly doubt it'll be able to store all the data needed to run a Minecraft server for even one player, let alone multiple.

Re: Run a minecraft server on 'the beast'
 

i got a server running on ubuntu with only 1GB RAM.
It's still smooth with 6 players! I think it could have been even more but i got the worst network card ever.

so i think it's worth the try.. :)

Re: Run a minecraft server on 'the beast'
 

Crashed after 65%.. just a little more :p

Re: Run a minecraft server on 'the beast'
 

81%... so...close...must...reach...

Re: Run a minecraft server on 'the beast'
 

IT WORKS!

Playing minecraft on my portable N900 server :p so now i need to work a little on the speed and performance and stuff..

IMHO Minecraft as a game should be playable on an i486, it is just horribly unoptimized. An average Minecraft map is 128x128x128 that is 2MB uncompressed, I think Duke Nukem had bigger map sizes.
