Minecraft Update Trouble

16 posts in this topic

Hey Everyone!

Anyone Interested in continuing to play on the 2g1m survival server should probably heed this advice;

As 1.1 is released, it is natural that you click the update button as soon as it appears. STOP! Backup your minecraft folder!!! (%appdata%/.minecraft) as we will not be clicking that button!

Windows 7/Vista:

1. Press Start

2. Type ' %appdata% ' and hit Enter

3. Create a Copy of the .minecraft folder on your desktop or somewhere else you will remember.

Windows XP

1. Open any Folder (My Documents, Folder on Desktop, Anything!)

2. Type ' %appdata% ' into the address bar and hit Enter

3. Create a Copy of the .minecraft folder on your desktop or somewhere else you will remember.

Mac OS

1. Who Knows

2. Who Cares

3. Who Bothers

Lazt cares :D

For the few of us that are actually Mac Users (*gasps*) You can find everything under User/Library/Application Support/minecraft . If you're a little lost at first like I was just use Finder to locate your Library, click Application Support, go into the bin folder and there you go!

Search "Library" > Application Support > Bin > Minecraft.jar

Why Backup the whole folder including maps?

Because the new update could corrupt game saves, we don't know yet! Let's be safe!

The Server and Bukkit and many plugins are NOT being updated straight away. When we roll out a server update we will take a day or so to correctly move to a new map and import some old content. We will TRY to bring user data over, or try to delete unused chunks and simply allow the game to re-render most of them with the new generation system. Whatever it takes we will do our best. We cannot guarantee anything.

You will be given warning when we are about to do a map move, as such it is advised that you begin logging out in spawn for safety reasons until after any updates are done.

Until then, enjoy!

What if I already updated?

Well! Lucky for you we here at 2G1M love you for being so fast to update that we'll give you a hand. We have something to offer to you to get onto the server and avoid any future problems with Minecraft updates! We present to you MCLauncher!

What is MCLauncher?

Well I'm glad you asked!

You see MCLauncher is an alternate Minecraft Launching program that gives you the ability to select from any number of jars, including *drumroll* 1.0 for our server!

All you need to do is click Options > Jar Downloader, using the drop down menu find minecraft 1.0.0! It's that easy!

Begin by going to the following link:

Be sure to click on the appropriate option for you, as shown below.

I followed Lazt's method, but i still can't connect to the server. "Failed to connect to server. Connection refused: Connect" is the message I get.

Was it the back up the jar option, or the MCLauncher option you went with?
