»Noob With Questions

My apologies, but I've just started playing Minecraft and I'm looking to play an online session with a friend online. I'm happy to join in on all the fun on the GuildCraft server, but at the moment I just want to have a private session with my friend, (he is also new to the game), until we get better acclimated with all that the game has to offer.

To be honest, I'm not even sure how to connect to the GuildCraft server. I'm using the current Java version of Minecraft on a Windows 10 PC. Currently I'm playing a solo survival game. I'd like to convert over so my friend can join my game. I heard before there's a way to shift your world over to an online session, (I'd rather not have to rebuild my gargantuan tower/base all over again--it took me look enough the first time!)

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

Nice try, I'm not that much of a noob. I know how command lines work. You've been reported.

 

As much as I know, you can't play singleplayer mode together with your friend unless you guys are connected to the same network. However there is an option to let you do that with a price, that is called realm... you still have to start over tho, if i am not wrong. Minecraft isn't a difficult game, just do some googling and you will find your answer.

 

I just love how to immediately changed your profile XD

 

Dont be rude to newbies .-.

Do you have a premium minecraft account (An account you payed real life money for)
or a cracked account (free account to access ONLY "cracked" servers)
GuildCraft is a cracked server.

I suggest https://tlauncher.org/en/
Its a free Minecraft Launcher that supports cracked accounts.
(Cracked accounts are free and you make them as many as you desire)
(I also use tlauncher, its safe)

And you simply google "How to join a cracked server" on youtube, and just watch and follow, thats what I did when I was new to minecraft.

Have a good day.

 

You can press Esc and “open to LAN”. With some tinkering with firewall and router settings, you could play with other people outside your network this way.

A better idea is to either sign up for Realms or download the latest server .jar or even better the latest Spigot. Then you can start a dedicated server on your own pc.

You can even transfer your previous builds to the server maps in Spigot.

 

Thank you all for your assistance, but I've run into a little problem:

I downloaded the lastest server .jar and successfully setup a cracked Minecraft server. On a 2nd computer I have setup Minecraft with TLauncher. I also successfully copied my 1-player world over to my server.

For the last little while I have been playing survival on my server, but when I built a portal to go to the nether, the portal went nowhere. I realized working with nether on a server is a little complicated, and tried copying my server world back to my 1-player save. (To update the modifications I made to my base.) Now the nether portal doesn't work in 1 player either. Is there any way to fix this? Will creating world_nether, etc. folders work for 1-player?

 

https://minecraft.gamepedia.com/Server.properties

 

allow_nether was set to true by default already. What does that have to do with nether not working in 1-player though?

 

That’s just the first thing to check, and the most common reason why nether portals wouldn’t work.

Next thing is to check world naming. If your world is named “world”, the nether needs to be named “world_nether”.

 

You mean the DIM-1 folder? From what I've read that is supposed to be my nether, so I have to rename that? This also doesn't explain why it's not working in single player either.
Edit: I'm not using Spiggot or anything. It's a vanilla minecraft server.

I also made my portal room very low, right on top of the bedrock in fact. I wonder if this caused a problem.

 

Try making a brand new world in single player. Name it “test” or something g. Go in the nether. See how the folders are named for the maps. That’s how they have to be for all worlds.

 

Edit: Aha! The mystery is finally solved. I didn't realize that you have to STAY STANDING IN the portal until it takes you to the nether. Any other game I've ever played with portals, you just walk through and you're in the next spot.

 

In survival mode you have to stay in the portal for a few seconds. In creative mode the transport should be instant.

 

you could host a small free 2 player max server in your own PC/laptop if you dont add plugins it will be fine and not lag
or just use the same network by being in the same house or use a app like hamachi LogMeIn to convert your ip's into 1

xD you mean Portal 1 or Portal 2?

 

Also the original Prey, Powerslave, the Diablo series, etc.

 

They can with opening it on Lan then they have to port trigger and shits to play together.
