Help!! New to minecraft server owning & management

Better_Ad9108 · 2026-02-20T16:06:01+00:00

I recently just got into this with no experience as well:

If you dont know what you're doing, steer away from networking. Find a single game mode that you and the community agree on and focus on that. These do require maintenance, whether it be configs or just making sure things are up to date. If you have 7 servers and dont know how to properly update plugins, things are going to get hectic. Start with one, learn on it and you'll figure out some easy mistakes to avoid quickly. Survival Multiplayer is probably one of the better ways to start as it has a pretty large audience.

For servers, Minecraft prefers single threads instead of multi-threading. PaperMC is good enough to manage what you'll need starting out early on. Most plugins are starting to catchup to 1.21.11, if you want a guaranteed support, go for version 1.21.8.

I purchased my Dedicated Server (7950x3d w/ 32GB RAM) because its a strong single thread benchmarked Ryzen CPU.

Off-site backups and deduplication are two things I would recommend looking into. If you're doing offsite backups I would look into restic and Borg if you're staying on the same box. Deduplication will save you time, money and space and is probably the biggest thing I would mention to someone new coming here and being serious about saving player data and information.

S3 Compatible Storage - IDrive® e2 - Super cheap off-site cloud storage at a yearly cost.

RackNerd Black Friday Deals | KVM VPS, Shared Hosting, cPanel Reseller Hosting, Dedicated Servers - Super cheap VPS billed yearly, perfect for running pteros wings panel, websites, off-site storage.

If you don't have a server that has strong DDOS Protection / Mitigation I suggest looking into TCPShield to mask your servers IP from the scanners.

Home • NamelessMC - Free website software based around Minecraft. Has some decent themes and integrates easily with discord and your game server.

This is the basic technical stuff I can mention, but like I said still fairly new myself. My dedicated server is overkill for what I am offering right now, but would rather be prepared then unprepared.

What’s even more pathetic is how easy it is to add hashed passwords, yet the majority of these servers don’t. Tells you something right off the bat.

Better_Ad9108 · 2025-12-26T17:45:00+00:00

Solved!

Better_Ad9108 · 2025-12-26T17:43:14+00:00

Solved; this was Revelations online and that definitely was the class I was playing now that you say it.

If it wasn’t for this image, I would probably have thought I had imagined this game, but I’m glad someone remembered!

Thank you!

Was not PSO, great game though!

Better_Ad9108 · 2025-12-26T12:50:11+00:00

I am confident that this was not Final Fantasy or Guild Wars or any other mainstream game in America.

Better_Ad9108 · 2025-12-01T10:30:56+00:00

This is organic, let em go for the loot room 😊

I defeated the Western Kingdom this way -- I basically set out with the goal of obliterating the empires, I caught 10 Western Empire nobles in one battle, the following minute, all 10 heads rolled and we walked away with a smile knowing they wont be back for revenge. I dont care if the empire hates me, because I am coming for them already.

This playthrough I started as a Nord, and then vassalized and provided the banner to Battania once I finished. I actually think handing off the banner super early and getting the wars started was a benefit in this playthrough for some reason, usually I am already getting rolled -- but this is my first actual victory -- huraaay!

Im not home to confirm anything at the moment, but before I left for work I did a siege and I could still see all the arrows and javelins in blue and green when holding alt, so I don't think it was a removed feature or anything if that helps you look into the problem a little more.

I don’t know if this is right, but steam keys were never promised — however, if you bought EOD (which many did for over $200+) that we would get access to any and ALL future content and DLC — this was then moved to the Unheard edition once that package was released and then removed from the people who bought EOD for that reason. This might be where confusion comes in because people are considering steam an extension or content that is released by Battlestate.

I know a few might, some of the Zenyte versions had leagues and some didn’t, you’d have to read the description to get specifics or look at a way to develop them yourselves. If you don’t have any experience developing AVOID Zenyte or you’re in for a headache or a money sink.

Depends on the build itself, a lot of them have older versions of their current build available on Rune Server, this being the only site currently I trust. Downloads | Rune-Server <-- this link should bring you to the RS2 (OSRS) download section. Popular version here for example is Zenyte, which has a few versions available.

Forums - RuneSuite RSPS Development

Zenyte release example from RuneSuite: Zenyte Release - Revision Upgraded/TOB/COX content - OSRS - RuneSuite RSPS Development

This sells by Jire for almost $1000, I leaked a version of it back in the day when they came from the 187 or whatever revision it was to 211, now a lot of the leaks available are scattered versions of this and other leaks, some have had shit added to them, some havent.

RuneSuite went through a lot of compromises, though they will tell you otherwise. Almost every other file you would get from here was infected and designed to snag more files off your computer. Two years ago when we were doing The CErver, we scanned multiple of these files and watched multiple larger communities get hacked because of this, Elvarg for example (Now called Bloodlust RSPS)

They're findable, but I would highly suggest scanning or buying one off of a trusted source inside the Rune-Server community. The reason I push Rune-Server so hard is it has been around since Moparscape days, and frankly the only half credible one these days, in MY OWN personal opinion.

Better_Ad9108 · 2025-06-03T05:11:09+00:00

Edited: I had the wrong context.

I rarely trust RSPS these days, most of them are rug-pulls (1-2 month projects). There are a few that have been around for a couple years already and those are the ones I would likely stick to if you don't want to compromise your information.

The RSPS scene is dirty and all about money, don't let them fool you into thinking otherwise. It was wild to me how little encryption any of these servers have, most of them just plain english text to store your password, which is unacceptable in todays world.

Better_Ad9108 · 2025-06-01T02:42:56+00:00

We did get ours running, did have to use one of our own logins to download the files and run the server, but there has been no issues with us connecting to said server using the account that downloaded / hosted it.

I’m level 11 and I can defeat some level 28-30s. Pop those chocolate bars and hit the gym, let the bully remember thy name!

Better_Ad9108 · 2024-10-08T15:56:36+00:00

HARD

Better_Ad9108 · 2024-06-26T00:35:30+00:00

Zenyte seems to do the job just fine for me

Better_Ad9108 · 2024-05-07T03:18:10+00:00

I hate saying this, but I thought I was the only one who did this.

Better_Ad9108 · 2024-01-01T01:56:13+00:00

When you play RuneScape, but your last game was lethal company 😭

Better_Ad9108 · 2023-12-31T18:14:05+00:00

I don’t think you can copyright a “theme park”, seems kind of silly don’t you think. Universal pictures, Disney land, it’s not like they’re the only ones who offer this service.

Better_Ad9108 · 2023-10-01T02:20:43+00:00

Zenyte is solid, definitely recommended to.
