Many newcomers who are just starting to master Minecraft usually try to choose a single player mode (often also stopping at Creative, where resources are easily obtained, and mobs do not cause damage). This gameplay is good when you want to master the main principles of the beloved by many "sandbox", hone your fighting and "mining" skills. However, then the gamer often has a desire to try his hand at a multiplayer game.
For those who want to start an online game
In Minecraft, the difference between an online game and one where only one gamer participates is not too fundamental. True, here all the participants have to carry out the gameplay according to the rules set by the administrator (it doesn't matter if everything goes via the local network or through a regular server). In addition, the opportunity is added to fight not only with hostile mobs, but also against each other - if PvP is allowed on this playground.
It is advisable to privatize an occupied region even before buildings are erected on it. At the same time, it is necessary to cover a slightly larger territory with protection than will be allocated for the house, so that it is not right next to the boundaries of the site.
In this regard, difficulties appear in the form of griffing, which has become a real disaster for Minecraft fans playing on servers. Such pests often spoil the virtual property of the latter, destroy their buildings and do other dirty tricks, in which they become more and more inventive from year to year. The only real weapon against them is the WorldGuard plugin and the ability to secure territory or individual items from their belongings.
Therefore, beginners should choose exactly those game resources where private is allowed. Usually such moments are displayed in the source data of a particular server. It is necessary to look for sites on which lists of such playgrounds are presented, and there it is already decided which one of them is suitable for various indicators. Among the latter, not only PvP or the sewing option are usually indicated, but also, for example, those cards on which the visitors of such a server have to play.
The nuances of how to play online in minecraft
It should be from the servers offered on such resources to choose the one that is currently online (large playgrounds are usually available almost around the clock). Having copied or otherwise saved its IP, you must then start Minecraft on your computer and select the multiplayer game mode (Multiplayer) from its menu.
In the line that opens after that, the gamer will need to indicate the previously remembered IP address of the selected game resource. The system will transfer it directly to the gameplay on that server - to the spawn point of all players. However, it will not be able to move from its place until it is registered on the server.
The specific time for which registration takes place on the server depends on the technical characteristics of such a resource and the number of online players present. Usually the above process takes no more than five seconds.
In order to execute it correctly, you will need to open the chat - by pressing the T key - and enter the / register command there, and specify the password after a space, with which you will then have to go to this resource all the time. You do not need to enter a nickname: since the gamer has already logged into his Minecraft before, his in-game name will be recognized automatically.
The next time this person connects to the same server again, he will need to write a slightly different command in the chat. The combination of words here will be simpler: / login and then, separated by a space, the password specified during registration.
Now that the gamer is already in the game, he needs to go in search of a site for the construction of a house (which should immediately be privatized if the server settings allow it). In parallel, you need to look for wood, coal and cobblestones. From the first, a workbench is crafted, on which most of the things necessary for performing various game tasks will then be created.
Torches are made of coal with wood - in as large a quantity as possible, so that the player can illuminate their own housing with them (to prevent various monsters from spawning in it) and take them with him when he goes down into the mine to extract resources. A furnace is made of cobblestone - for roasting new coal, making ingots of metals, cooking, etc.
Minecraft has a lot of nuances, but the player will quickly master most of them already during the gameplay. In the very first moments in a multiplayer game, something else will be much more important for him - survival on the first night. For this, the aforementioned preparations are made, helping the player to get comfortable and create a supply of materials that will be useful for crafting at first.
