you know what. i feel like giving our boy here a bit of a fighting chance to prove himself. we all know its going to get objected to oblivion and i feel generous right now then the type to shun. that and we've lost the bulk of our team that i dont have a fucking clue on what to do with
im giving OP around 30 days (14th January. dont think thats on the dot but fuck you) to arrange for a server instance to be made and an event to be organized. i cant personally be of much help due to my own lack of knowhow and this is more of a test. am aware this is higher expectations than my own event hosts but to be honest i want them and have always wanted them to do shit like this i just dont know how i can convay it without repeating myself
@"matscalle"#342 i am unsure what version of paper to use but might be a good idea to use the 1.17.1 version of paper although ryan might have a different take on that https://papermc.io/downloads#Paper-1.17. put the jar file you get from this into its own folder or you're gonna have a mess on your hands. im also aware you're on a mac, going off linux logic here but providing you have java installed it should be a simple command along the lines of 'java -jar .jar' in your terminal providing you're in the right directory in your terminal which i think 'cd ' should work. im sure theres an argument you can put to extend the amount of allocated memory but im not sure of how much your PC has. once you've started it up go into your minecraft client, multiplayer and go to direct connect and put in 'localhost'. you should be able to join and only you. the rest is up to you but once you are done send the server files over. thats as about as much of a pointer as i can give as installing plugins should be as simple as dumping jars in the plugins folder and stopping and restarting the server should be easy with the terminal '/stop' and the same java command again.
do ask people for help if needed and communicate what the idea is through this thread and give updates to what you are doing. i urge anyone who can provide assistance do so as this is pretty much all i can really do (even then i might need a lot of correction to my guidence, this and mac isn't really my area lol). if the event is successful then despite vote it will be accepted
good luck.
