| 1322805 | 2013-01-14 19:38:00 | :help: Friends 8 year old asked if he could have a minecraft server setup so he could play multi player with his mate(s), I uggested she say no until I worked out what's involved and how much control she would have over who got invited to use it. Also how much BB it would use. I don't know anything about this so am asking here for input please. Thanks in advance :thanks |

It's easy to whip together a server, it's even better if you don't put it on the web (No port-forwarding the router) and require your friends kids friends to connect to it via Hamachi (Kids these days are smart, it'll be easy for them). Finally, you probably wanna look into something like this: www.minecraftwiki.net |

| 1322807 | 2013-01-14 20:28:00 | I've played over hamachi before, me and six others burned 14gb of net (at the hosts end, I was a lot less for just me I would imagine) in under 7 days just from Minecraft alone (we weren't even playing that much). This was during like version 1.2 or 1.4 though. I believe playing online now uses around 100mb/hour. | icow (15313) | ||

| 1322810 | 2013-01-15 11:22:00 | Hey at least the kiddo ain't doin it an illegitimate way. At this rate though LAN does look like a good option. | SanChippy (16951) | ||
