Talk:Multiplayer

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.)
