Can't type color
I tried using "§" in multiplayer but I got kicked, it seems that you are not allowed to use it anymore. (Disconnected By Server - Illegal Characters in Chat) 98.176.181.221 01:52, 4 March 2012 (UTC)

I got this same problem (minecraft 1.2.3). the section sign isn't working for me anymore after the update. 24.128.49.24 19:28, 11 March 2012 (UTC)


 * Mojang updated it; now vanilla clients can't enter §, the section symbol. Probably a bug. - Asterick6 05:17, 24 March 2012 (UTC)

Intended - was made so players can't write colored stuff in chat (if you paste a § sign in chat and press enter, it kicks you). C ali nou - talk × contribs » 12:39, 1 May 2012 (UTC)

Server error
I own a small 8-20 player server, and occasionally I get an error that kicks everyone from the server. They can join again, but I wanted to know of a way to fix this, because it's annoying.

 * You don't mention which version you're using. Single-player chat/commands are currently only available in pre-release snapshots, not 1.2.5 . If you're having issues with a particular mod, check that mod's forum thread or website for help. -- Orthotope

Network Computers for Multiplayer?
My boyfriend wants to play Minecraft with me, but previous MMO experience makes him hesitant to join a Multiplayer server. Is there a way of networking our two computers, each with their own copy of Minecraft, so we can play in a shared world only the two of us can access?

 * Yes, you can set up a private server. The inexpensive option is to run it on one of your own computers; see Tutorials/Setting up a server. This requires a moderately powerful computer (i.e., not a laptop) and knowledge of network configuration; it's a bit easier if you're on the same local network. The alternative is to rent a hosted server; see links at Server. Competition keeps the prices low (around $10/month), and it requires less technical knowledge to set up, and has fewer security concerns. In either case, if you use the whitelist to allow only your two accounts, no one else will be able to connect to it. -- Orthotope 03:00, 13 June 2012 (UTC)

Unable to log in
I buyed the game Minecraft and then loaded the game up. Though it's a little annoying that it didn't occur to load up onto my desktop (I have a special internet tab that will run out soon) it came up anyways. You see, when I tried logging in it said Username not premium. I tried again and again but it still wouldn't work. Does anybody have the same error - or do they know how to fix this? (PS: I'm quite serious, I actually forgot my damn username.)

Please don't swear. And I don't know how to fix it, nor have I experienced the problem. 70.181.68.226 03:52, 9 April 2013 (UTC)

Unpublish
I published my singleplayer world through LAN. How do I unpublish it back? 176.195.201.157 10:23, 14 July 2012 (UTC)

Exit the world, then load it again. --Matojeje 14:56, 9 April 2013 (UTC)

Can't find published games on my LAN
My sons want to try the new publish on LAN, to play at home. But we can't find any published games. Both computers is on the same router, but one of them is connected with wifi.

Multiplayer online for ios and android
Does any one know when they will put in multiplayer for mobile over the internet not just wifi. I think it would be awsome. Also, if they could make it so you can play minecraft on your computer and then open it up on you mobile device. That would be perfect and prob make them more money

Hamachi LAN
How is the video Against the Video Policy? There are no voices in the video and I read the video policy and my video comply's.

The tutorial has been moved to the tutorials section under technical tutorials. The Video does still comply with the Policy.

Multiplayer only on LAN
my multiplayer will only try to connect to the router games but i don't know how to get it anywhere else so i can only play multiplayer Ochodosguy 12:34, 21 March 2013 (UTC) ochodosguy

LAN for PC + XBOX?
Is it possible for a PC user and an XBOX user to play together in the same world over a LAN? (Alternatively, is it possible for an XBOX user to play on a computer without having to buy the game all over again?) --72.76.190.181 19:58, 6 May 2013 (UTC)


 * No; the only way they'd be able to play together is if both versions had the exact same feature set, which they don't. They're separate products, so buying one does not give you the other. -- Orthotope 02:24, 7 May 2013 (UTC)

LAN and Single Player Servers
Hey guys! This just started happening to me. I try to join my survival server, but it takes forever for it to load and Minecraft keeps crashing. Also, my sisters LAN worlds do not show up on my Multiplayer screen. She can't join my LAN world either, because Minecraft crashes for her when she tries to join. Anybody have suggestions on what to do?--Hrhpink 17:45, 24 June 2013 (UTC)

The "§ " Symbol
Its me again! So I have been scrolling down the LAN info page, when I saw how to do colored chat. My keyboard doesn't have the "§ " Symbol so I can't do it. Copy and paste won't work on Minecraft. Any suggestions on what to do?--Hrhpink 17:47, 24 June 2013 (UTC)


 * No keyboards that I know of do. It can be typed by pressing Alt-2-1, but Alt codes do not work in Minecraft. You can however copy-paste by highlighting text, pressing Ctrl+C and then, in Minecraft, pressing Ctrl+V. To highlight text inside Minecraft, hold Shift and use the arrow keys.

multiplayer problem
every time I log into minecraft and click on multiplayer it says no connection.I don't know if anyone else has this problem please tell me if you do.--173.247.11.159 21:04, 7 July 2013 (UTC)

1.6+1.5
so i have 1.6 and my bro has a realy slow laptop so he cant load 1.6 sooooooo... can a 1.6 user and a 1.5 user do LAN?


 * No. Only the same versions can play LAN. Lennbot (talk) 12:22, 28 September 2013 (UTC)

Chat
Should chat have it's own page? After all, chat works in Singleplayer too. And in 1.7 the chat system is completely improved with links and buttons and tooltips. I think there is enough information for a whole page. Lennbot (talk) 12:22, 28 September 2013 (UTC)


 * While I'm waiting for feedback, I'll make one in my userspace. Lennbot (talk) 12:51, 28 September 2013 (UTC)
