Minecraft Server is Live!

For a server I actually like Java a lot. Screaming fast and very powerful. Requires more work than an untunable platform, though, but from that comes some of its power.

I like JSP that's about it.

I'm a bit lost on the whole MC thing. Who's running the servers 'normal' people attach to? Being limited to 10 people per server seems horrible, but then again I've only ever played in a demo environment on my own machine so I don't know what I'm talking about.

@Dashrender Servers are either hosted across large networks, with plugins allowing multiple physical servers to run a single world, or have relatively low player limits. The most popular, though, seems to be someone hosting it on their PC for a few friends.

I'm lost as to why people play the game at all. My six year old likes it, but beyond that, I'm lost as to the entertainment value.

@scottalanmiller Some of the "Logic" circuitry that you can do with redstone is quite in depth, you can build computers, clocks, and complex machinery with it. Beyond that, it's mostly mods that give it true entertainment value.

Why does playing Doom provide entertainment? or Football? etc. because people like what they like. LOL

Yep. I play it exclusively with mods. Wanderlust is the current pack I am playing. It is really cool to see how mods interact and what you can build with them. Each has they own challenges and stories to go along with it.

server is still down.

I'm not aware that @Mike-Ralston has started working on it yet.

@scottalanmiller Can't get ahold of anyone involved.
