Firstly, make sure Java 8 is installed. Java 17 or 21 should work as well but Java 8 is what I recommend.

Now, download this version of CraftBukkit and this version of AuthMe Unfortunately I couldn't get Canyon to work.

Now, make a folder, and put the CraftBukkit jar in the folder. Then, in that folder, make a folder named plugins, and move the AuthMe jar into that folder.

Now run the CraftBukkit jar like usual (using a batch file or java -jar). You won't be able to connect to it yet.

Now quit the server when it has finished generating the chunks (such as via sending the stop command).

Now open the server.properties file, and turn off online mode, and allow flying (AuthMe sometimes triggers the [very primitive] flying detection).

Now run the server again, and you should be good to go!

Can't connect? Having any weird issues? Check this out!
(Will be expanded as needed.)

No sound

First try just restarting the game a few times - sometimes that's all it takes. If that doesn't work, proceed:

Download this (in gzip format, you will need 7zip or similar to extract): https://archive.org/details/Beta-1.7.3

In MultiMC/Prism, click on your b1.7.3 instance and click "Folder" on the right side menu. Enter the .minecraft folder, delete the contents of the resources folder there, and replace them with the files from the extracted archive.

Can't connect

This includes timeout errors, "An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remove host", and similar. First, make sure you're using either Prism Launcher or MultiMC. The official launcher does not handle old versions as well.

When you made your instance, make sure you selected b1.7.3 and NOT 1.7.3. This requires toggling the "Betas" checkbox seen below.

Finally, try connecting to the website - if you can't visit that, there is a chance your ISP may be blocking our IP address. DM me and I'll help.

Something that a lot of you might find really cool: With Nintendo's recent update for the Switch, you can now share most digital games (and DLC) with your friends/family using "Virtual Game Cards". Essentially, you're lending a digital copy of your game to your friends, and lose access to it yourself, for the duration that your friend is borrowing it.

One of the very first things I wondered was if you could share discontinued games that have been delisted. I personally have 2 or 3 of such games myself, including the legacy version of Minecraft Nintendo Switch Edition, which never got a physical release and was delisted from the eShop in 2018 when the bedrock version replaced it.

I went to my friends house today to let him borrow a game, and we decided to test it out. I can confirm that it works! My friend has been wishing he could play the legacy version on Switch for years, and he can now finally do so because I was able to lend my digital game to him!

The lending is for 2 weeks, and the game will be automatically returned to me once the time is up. At that point, I will have to meet up with him in person again if he wants to continue borrowing the game.

I started playing minecraft beta 1.8.1 recently and I noticed that there is no sound when eating. I found a reddit post mentioning the same thing but they deleted the post. Has anyone else experienced this?

According to changelogs, sound when eating should've been added in this version.

I tried to connect but the server and website seems offline.

Sad to see the old school server go.

Hello everyone,

I'm looking for a plugin that can broadcast random messages within an interval, like the AutoMessage plugins from newer version, I can't find one that works in beta 1.7.3 with craftbukkit/poseidon

Thanks for your help!

This is my very first single player Minecraft world started in 2011 that I still play to this day. I started adding signs in 2013.

The server is pretty new, but we have a small but active, nice and friendly community of players and Java developers that want to relive the old memories of Minecraft and 2b2t, so we're looking for that kind of feel.

We have very few minimal plugins and we have the Nether enabled!

Did I mention we have our own collection of texture packs and mods?

The server has been up for seven months, so the map is very fresh, but we have overworld & nether highways, bases, a nether hub and a cool-looking spawn. We have reached 10gb in size, so there must be something for you to find!

We are one of the most active beta servers, having reached 20 PLAYERS ONLINE PEAK! We also have 7-10 players online at all times!

I can't wait to see you there!


The server's name is AlphaAnarchy but it's running on Beta 1.1_02!! Why?

Alpha 1.2.6 doesn't have server side inventories and it's trash for servers. That's why I chose Beta 1.1_02, which is the same as Alpha 1.2.6, but branded as Beta and better for servers.

-- original description --

Oh my goodness gracious did this take forever to release. Nobody reads the descriptions anyway, but if you're wondering what took so long: I went on vacation, I hit a deer, and some of my family was hospitalized. I'm also moving in two weeks and starting college, so a lot going on. But still, I'm glad I took the time to make this video something that I'm proud of and I hope you all enjoy. Thank you so so much for watching my content.

I just got on the community server a couple days ago and it's been real quiet, but it's fun to see what other people have built!

It's my first time going back to a beta version since the game actually was in beta, and I'm surprised how nice it is to play after being completely used to modern Minecraft.

This is a post to brainstorm some ideas about the game and what it could have been. I'll start by listing some old features that I really liked:

  • As I mentioned in my previous post, isometric screenshots. They just look good.
  • The old smelting system. It was only in indev version 0.31. You would smelt iron by using flint and steel to ignite a fire in which you would then drop the iron ore onto the fire, producing iron ingots. It was definitely faster and more "atmospheric" than the current way of smelting in my opinioni even though it was simpler.
  • The saturation of Alpha and below, it makes the simplest places look nice.
  • Indev world types.

What are your opinions and ideas?

Minecraft Indev version had a feature called "isometric screenshots" which took an isometric screenshot of your world. Because the world wasn't infinite at that time, it took the screenshots easily. It still can be done in modern minecraft hovewer, with some plugins.

I quite like it, what do you guys think about this mod ?
