The sandbox game Minecraft is quite a popular game and there are many servers that you can join and play on, but what if you and your friends just wanna play together and build something amazing? Then one of these big servers might not be the place for you and your friends, luckily it’s really easy to setup your own server at home using something called Bukkit – this is a snippet from their website.
The easiest way to learn the basics of Java and Android development is to dive head first into coding, of course you’ll need some basic understanding of Java, or programming in general. In this article I’m going to guide you through making a simple app which can calculate your Body Mass Index. In this tutorial we will use some elements to get you familiar with the absolute basics.
When you’re going to start your local Bukkit server you will need to open up the command prompt, change directory to where your Minecraft server is located and then run a Java command with a few arguments. This is a really tedious process to do every time you need to start it. That’s why we should make a batch file named in the lines of RUNME.bat so that we with only one click can launch or server, but how do you make such a batch file? In this short article I’ll show you two great examples on how to make this easy file, it does not require more than two lines of code. To make a new batch file you simply open up notepad and save the file as name.bat and it will be a batch executable.
Minecraft is best played with friends, and using Bukkit as a Minecraft server has many advantages over the vanilla server you can start through your client. First of you have about 13 000 different Bukkit plugins to customize your server as you see fit. If you’re new to Bukkit or it’s plugins it can be really hard to know what you need or even want to have on your server – I know I was confused and had to spend many hours looking through reviews and watching YouTube videos to find what would fit me and my friends needs.

When you need to run some application from the Windows terminal, it’s not very often you need to do this but if you’re for example going to run a Java .jar file to start your Minecraft server, it can be convenient to tell Windows where your Java JRE is located and you do not need to reference it by path every time. Setting these system path variables is pretty much the same on all Windows machines and it’s easy if you know where to look. In this tutorial you will learn how to set a system path variable in Windows.
