Multiplayer



Multiplayer Minecraft was released officially on the 8th June 2009, after many beta trials. Users can download and run the server package that allows other players to connect to and play on their server. Future versions will have multiple Game Modes.

The wiki sidebar has a link to the Minecraft.net server list. Redstone Wire Ltd also hosts a Minecraft server list or alternative lists Minecraft survival server list (Survival) and Minecraft SMP & Classic server list (Classic and Survival).

Community spirit


In multiplayer, players can press 'T' to chat to others.

Multiplayer nurtures the community spirit; people work together to build things, and unite in the face of griefers. It is the strong policing of these rooms, powered by a "patriotic" attachment to the game, (or one's favorite server) that makes the game very hard for griefers.

Nether in Multiplayer
A functional Nether was officially added in the Beta 1.6 update.

Technical
The server saves the level to the server_level.dat file every minute.
