This would be my salvation. Are you suggesting that it's you who will run it?

If it's going to be a private server I don't think it would need very many admin mods/plugins.

I haven't played in about 2 months, so if this happens it will convince me to play again.

Minecraft SMP <3.
But seriously, where is he?

Not paying money for that game.

Anyone got a beta/demo link?

Well that's a bit harsh.
I think he's well within his rights to ask for a demo before he commits to paying for it. (The SP demo is terrible though, it is nothing like the current game)
Myself, I didn't even remotely get interested in it until I saw a YouTube video of how the mining works, and thought "That's pretty cool" to myself.
So, I'd suggest watching videos on YouTube of people just playing, or better yet, watch some Livestreams.
If you do choose to pay, it is 15 Euros atm, with the 25% discount. That equals $21.76 USD.
Also, when in case you didn't get it when I said you asking for a link to beta made me smile, it's because the entire game, the entire time it's been out, has been in alpha or beta. It's not finished yet. And the programmer even added a clause when you buy it saying he many never finish it.

Any regular PC Gamer readers should find a demo version of the 'proper' game attached to the latest cover. Complete with PC-Gamer branded cows.
The 'demo'-ness comes from the fact that each created world locks itself after 90 minutes, but that's still a nice long time to find out whether the adventure/creation blend works for you.

You know, there WAS a dedicated server run by Susan when this board first started. And before that, SpaceMouse ran a free Minecraft server (the shitty version). Don't really know what happened to Susan's, but Spacey these days runs a private server for friends, so I don't think he'll be running another BCB one due to the strain on his net.
Moving this to Recess as it doesn't really belong in Creative Arts.

Would've this ever happen? If not I'm thinking on repairing my old computer to use it as a dedicated server 24h. But I don't really know how.to run a server.
I have several friends who regularly run dedicated servers for TF2 and other things. I'll ask them to tech me how to run a one, I have two extra computers that I could use as servers. Course this is all speculative, but if enough people are ACTUALLY willing on playing and modulating to keep the server(s) populated this theory could get off the ground.

Forgot to look this back up after I got it. I would be all kinds of interested in this.
@ Draix - You can play Creative mode for free. You have unlimited materials to do whatever you want. But Survival is way better. It makes the completion of your giant golden penis so much more meaningful.

Why do you need to know programming if you want to host a server?
This.
1. Buy a dedicated server.
2. Install Minecraft_server.exe on it.
3. Configure it a bit in the server_PROPERTIES file.
4. Pick which mods (if any) you want, decide on whitelist or not, and pick a few people to be ops (Basically, admins) so they can help watch over the server.
5. Pick a server administration program for extra help (and various goodies, like IRC integration, like Zicore's Minecraft Administration [ZMA]) if you want to. No real need to though, as you can pretty much do all the basic required stuff via the default console.
Total programming/coding language required for all that? 0.
If my ISP didn't have a laughable upload bandwidth, I could host a server immediately, either via Hamachi or just direct IP. (Direct IP would take more work for me, the way I have my laptop set up
)

.exe
I actually read no further than that. Guess why.
Not sure why.
.exe = application.
You get it from minecraft.net
So. Enlighten me.
EDIT: Okay, so there's .jar too. But I use an .exe file.

I wonder what upload speed is needed... I have 600/300 KBs worldwide, 1700/1000 KBs within the country.

Because anything with the extension .exe is likely to be a Windows PE binary.

I'm going to assume something to do with a dedicated server's OS.
I would not know, as I've never paid for/used one.
Would one use Linux on it?
Keep in mind, my entire post was used in reference to him hosting from his own PC, and I just made the assumption that there are servers out there that use Windows.
Or, you could continue to be a bit of an ass about it.
That too.

Windows Server isn't exactly something you'd find in your local computer equipment store. Or whatever. Linux is nice, stable and doesn't need a GUI, all of which are advantages, at least on computers underpowered to be proper servers. Not to say Windows isn't stable, but I've had it crash more than any Linux ever.
Apart from that one computer that crashed at random on any OS I ever put on it. I think it might've been the GPU overheating, though.

I'm not sure if this is what was being implied, but you don't need server OS software to run a Minecraft server. WindowsXP or Windows 7 works just fine. An on-board graphics card in the host machine is all you need, as there is no world-rendering taking place. A simple desktop PC with enough RAM and CPU speed could serve as a MC server.
My roommates and I are fixing to take the PC we have downstairs and throw another mobo in it, another stick of RAM, and then set it up as a private MC server.

Hey everyone, sorry about not posting for a while, I've been busy, and to be honest, i kinda forgot about this thread. But anyway, I've been thinking about this, and I'm going to try taking my old computer, stripping it down to the essentials, and setting that up as the server. How does that sound?
