Discussion:Main Menu Button Names
a The single player text is misleading, as you are now actually hosting a Minecraft server. Singleplayer should now say something along the lines of Host server and Multiplayer should say Join Server. NetherrackCreeper (talk) 16:40, 3 May 2012 (UTC)
 * It's a local server. And its so Mojang does not have to create two versions of each update, one for client, and one for the server. -ZuppaHD 01:52, 4 May 2012 (UTC)
 * "Host Server" and "Join Server" would be very misleading for new players or players who are not tech-savvie. Singleplayer still makes sense in that when you enter the game you are the only player there until you invite others. And besides, this is not a place for your opinions. --Mattrition 10:39, 4 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Those were just suggestions, the single player text should at least be changed. NetherrackCreeper (talk) 18:48, 4 May 2012 (UTC)
 * It could say "Start Game" and "Join Game" like in Pocket Edition. TorchicBlaziken 01:54, 5 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Yes it could, but again this isn't a forum. Discussion moved for the sake of clarity. --Mattrition 14:05, 5 May 2012 (UTC)

Discussion:Can't Connect to Singleplayer World
This is the discussion for two identical bug reports:

!sp When trying to open an old world or when trying to create a new world, the game displays a dirt screen, then "Connecting to server" before displaying "Could not connect to server; Connection refused: connect" --169.204.228.78 17:53, 3 May 2012 (UTC)
 * This does not crash minecraft, demoted to Major bug. heldplayer 20:18, 3 May 2012 (UTC)

a! I cannot connect to my own single player world. I guess it is because my computer hasn't port forwarded correctly since 1.1, but this is rediculous, I have to have an internet connection to play single player? --~DaleK 16:32, 3 May 2012 (UTC)
 * The client ZIP contains /two/ parts: a 'server' directory and a 'bin' directory. You have to have copied BOTH into the Minecraft client before you can play, even offline. Mojang is restructuring the game like this so that modders only have to make changes once, rather than once for the client version and again for the server version.
 * I know that, it appears my issue was quitting whilst generating the world, I had to delete it, and start a new world for it to work. --~DaleK 17:25, 3 May 2012 (UTC)
 * I Can't Connect Either And I Installed Both Parts... I'm Assuming It's The Port-Forwarding Thing Mention In The First Post.
