Minecraft Multiplayer Games

Minecraft's multiplayer is a big thing. It is more fun to explore the world of minecraft, and build with a friend. People set up dedicated servers, some make you pay for rights to build, and others make you pay to get into the server.

Having a friend or two to play with you makes the game more fun and a lot easier. Someone can watch your back while you mine now. It can also get a tad bit harder. More people playing means you can build a more elaborate and more complicated creation. Make sure the people you play with are trust worthy. You do not want them destroying something that you work hard on.

However, mostly any server you go into has a few simple don'ts. As in stuff that if you do this, your blacklisted. Blacklisting is a process in which a player's user name and ip address are blocked so there is no chance of them getting back into the server, and causing more trouble.

One of the major do not of any multiplayer server is not to grief. Griefing is destroying other peoples work on purpose. Griefiers usually do not stop at one person though; they usually attack a whole server. Most servers have a zero tolerance policy when it comes to this, first instance and you are out of there.

This is one of the purposes of a white listed server. A white listed server is a server that a player must get special permission to enter. A players username, and ip address are added to the list then they are allowed in. White listing and black listing are preventive measures for griefing.

There are also anti-griefing programs. However, a lot of mods or tools in minecraft can be used instead. While in a server for instance, a moderator can lock a certain area of the map where only a player or certain players can build or destroy things.

Players may also lock door, chests, and a few other things to their use only. They simple put private in brackets on a wooden sign, then hit enter to move down a line and type their in game name. If done correctly any other player trying to open the chest or door will get a permission denied message.
