How to Install Bukkit (Newb-Friendly!)

Thank you, that fixed it.

 

How do you install this if you already have a server?

 

The .bat I opened said "can not find snapshot"

 

You can run two servers at the same time if you use different ports. Otherwise, simply delete the other server (you can copy over the world, plugins, settings, etc.) and follow the tutorial.

Please post a screenshot of your opened .bat file.

 

Updated the Mac OS X installer:
-Each time you launch the server, it will ask you if you want to update, and proceed or not.
-More uniform names

Means that something is wrong with your port!

 

When I try to start the server this happens:
146 recipes

18:19:21 [INFO] Starting minecraft server version Beta 1.5_02
18:19:21 [INFO] Loading properties

18:19:21 [WARNING] The exception was: java.net.BindException: Address already in
use: JVM_Bind
18:19:21 [WARNING] Perhaps a server is already running on that port?

please help

 

Try restarting your computer.
If this still happens, check your router's used ports and try changing the one that is 25565.
If you do not find that, change the port in "server.properties" (when you connect, you will need to type the port because it's not the default one).

 

I figured out that it was blocked by my firewall, so I ran it as an administrator and unblocked it, now it works

 

The Mac OS X Setup has been updated!

 

when i try it on windows 7, it says :
Unable to access JarfileC:/program files/craftbukkit/craftbukkit-0.0.1-snapshot.jar
press any key to continue

then when i press any key it closes and nothing happens.

Any help would be very appreciated

 

So I downloaded your stupid little link and it gave me NOTHING I opened it and this is what I goit:

Terrible guide and you fail at life in general, please find the nearest fire and die in it.

 

Hey umm, I did all that was in the Read me and i checked it a few times with the snapshot. jar and it says that there's an error and it could not access the file... any ideas?

 

Thats because your name for the server.jar in the "Run.bat" file isnt like the one that is in the server folder!

Same as you... Rename the file...

Thank you for helping, Yudaz. I'm sure you've made it pretty clear. However, it also clearly states in the "Read Me" that you must put the downloaded CraftBukkit .jar file in the folder with the server starting .bat file. Obviously, the people having trouble failed to follow those instructions (or they are having permission issues).

 

Whoops, I forgot to read the readme. Anyway, I am making a video to make a Bukkit server.

 

I'm getting this error. Can anyone help?

Fantastic, I'm glad to hear it!

It looks like the Minecraft server is having a problem now, try again in a few hours. However next time, please don't post expecting help without using at least some of these. I have told many people this before, at least make an attempt to read the previous posts.

 

One thing that would be useful, is that you could host servers WITHOUT Prot Forwarding OR Hamachi. (So people don't have to download that.)

 

You only have to port forward once (it's already port forwarded by default by some routers). You don't even have to use the default port, you can change it anytime in the server properties file.

 

Or the server is in a read-only location.

 

No, I am not allowed in my router, my dad does everything on it. He won't allow ANY port forwarding.

 

I've tried looking through some older problems, but I still can't seem to figure out what needs to change. I downloaded the package, and I haven't changed any names or anything. the craftbukkit build is located in a specific minecraft folder I created, as is the .rar containing the setup. However everytime I start the Craftbukkit Starter, I get the error message:
Unable to access jarfile C:\Users\Admin\AppData\Local\Temp\wzcc06\CraftBukkit\craftbukkit-0.0.1-snapshot.jar
Press any key to continue...

Upon which, as expected, it closes.
Sorry if this has been answered before and I just couldn't figure it out, but I'm in serious need of some help here; I really don't know what I'm doing, I guess.

 

That's a problem you have to deal with yourself. As I said earlier, you can either use a port that already forwarded or Hamachi.

Is "craftbukkit-0.0.1-snapshot.jar" in the folder with the "CraftBukkit Starter" file? If it is, try moving both to a folder in the desktop and trying again. You may just not have the proper permissions.

 

When I run LaunchServer.command, it says:
"Do you want to update? (y/n)"
I type in "y" and hit enter. Then it says,
"Did not recognize input. Taking it for a NO."
...Help me? xD

 

I mean with Hamachi, you HAVE to make your friends download it. And my router doesn't have any ports forwarded. (According to my dad.)

 

Is your primary drive C? if it is not, edit run.dat type in


@ECHO OFF SET BINDIR=%~dp0 CD /E "%BINDIR%" "%ProgramFiles%\Java\jre6\bin\java.exe" -Xincgc -Xmx1G -jar craftbukkit-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar PAUSE

 

same f

same for me
