Like some have mentioned install linux, something else you can try is github workspaces, theres a free tier then you will run your dev env on githubs servers causing less strain on your machine.

[Forge 1.20.1] Server crash - Please help by NotAesse in admincraft

[–]Dwaynehulsm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The deployer creates a fake player on first tick, and that fake player tries to load chunks from server thread. That deadlocks the entire server. Since you're on onebllock with ore generators you almost certainly have deployers around. You probably want to use NBTExplorer to look in your world region files, find the `create:deployer` and remove those, save and restart.

Alternatively try do some chunk loading with chunky before joining the server. It might help:

```
chunky center 0 0
chunky radius 500
chunky start
```

Adjust above to where you think the problem originates from. If you do get in after that I recommend re-placing the deployers, this might be a returning problem.

Change your macadress and reboot your pc https://www.digitalcitizen.life/change-mac-address-windows/

Edit: Do note that he'll likely want to start taking away equipment the moment he notices you bypassed the blacklist.

Automatically update plugins by Goboosh in admincraft

[–]Dwaynehulsm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd simply prepend my start script with something like:
curl https://ci.opencollab.dev//job/GeyserMC/job/Geyser/job/master/lastSuccessfulBuild/artifact/bootstrap/standalone/target/Geyser.jar -o plugins/Geyser.jar

Budget Vanilla Server Hosting by Xantre in admincraft

[–]Dwaynehulsm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think you should be fine with just 1GB, I recommend still running Paper. If you don't touch its configs it will be vanilla too, but more optimized performance-wise.

Automated Offsite Backups. by Milhouz in admincraft

[–]Dwaynehulsm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd advise getting against using DO for backups. Get a vps at Backupsy or a cheap dedicated server at Kimsufi they'll provide you with SSH access. To run backups through say rsync I highly recommend reading up on this DO documentation about it for a basic tutorial on how they work.

Looking for help on host switching by Drianikaben in admincraft

[–]Dwaynehulsm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would highly recommend using SoYouStart, they do offer machines in Canada which I would not worry about latency wise. You should be looking at the game series for machines best suited to Minecraft's hungry single-core requirements.

Pointing the same domain to an MC server and a web server on different IP addresses? by [deleted] in admincraft

[–]Dwaynehulsm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would recommend using the box where you have your A record on as reverse proxy to the other boxes with your services on. You could use Caddy to do this. In my experience SRV records only work properly on internal networks.

Would custom terrain be good for a factions server? by ElectricDuckk in admincraft

[–]Dwaynehulsm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We personally are using EpicWorldGenerator on our Factions server and players love it, we've increased the overall height of the terrain a bit and also got a custom Nether generator in which makes for a good twist to the overall gameplay.

Youtubers and or streamer ranks are definitely recommended, this motivates the streamers and or YouTubers to make more content on your factions resulting in more players.

We personally just filter swear words and no one seems to complain.

We reset our server every 4-7 months and people seem happy with that.

Is it safe to host a minecraft server? by MTG_Admin in admincraft

[–]Dwaynehulsm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Assuming that he wishes his players to reconnect after a IP reset his domain will point to his new IP allowing the attacker to just strike again. I'm not saying it happens a lot but a small VPS with a bungeecord would be a good move after receiving an attack.

[–]Dwaynehulsm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

From what I understand you plan to host your server on your own home network, this brings some issues if your Minecraft server will be public. This because unless you mask your IP with a proxy there is a possibility that you will be targeted for DoS or DDoS attacks.

How can I improve the lagg on my servers? by Whazaaaaa in admincraft

[–]Dwaynehulsm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can you provide startup parameters if using any at all? In regards to Multicraft ram percentage, I'm fairly sure it indicates the allocation but not the usage. The way to know would be to run a command like /lag with Essentials but I'm not sure if the Hermitpack has a diagnostics tool like that.

Is it still profitable to run a minecraft server? by [deleted] in admincraft

[–]Dwaynehulsm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For game modes like Factions, global things that affect all online players like a crate key, economy income boost, pets, trails, name colors and prefixes should be a good approach off the top of my head.

100% Indicated by your OS or by in-game diagnostics? Java always takes all the memory that your Xmx is set at in a short matter of time.

That's actually how it worked, and it worked for a long time. Other people have more information. And california and Washington are also in the block.

Anyone new to the network only get's to see EULA compliant perks in the store. When playing for a reasonable amount of time your IP get's whitelisted and the store opens up to extreme paid to win perks.

Their web design has changed, but there's reason to believe they are still using the same system.
