You're not allowed to share certain files like the main .jar ones (or used to not be able to) and aren't allowed to sell mods, but there is nothing illegal about modding games otherwise.

Oh, I guess I was wrong then.

I recently found and started playing Tekkit for Minecraft. If you aren't familiar with Tekkit, it is a group of around 40 mods for Minecraft that work together. This is a video showing you a tour of what I have built so far. This video is a good introduction to people not familiar with Tekkit and it is also good for veteran players who just want to see what someone else has built.

By the way, I don't think anyone ever answered my multiplayer question. By the way, more people have bought Minecraft than live in the state of Washington.

To join a multiplayer server, first, you have to find a server IP. Then go to Multiplayer>Direct Connect and enter the IP. Voila, multiplayer!

 

[stfoskey12]

Are there any servers you would recommend?

 

[mythmonster2]

None that I can, unfortunately, as I usually only multiplayer with some close friends on private servers. You can probably look around on Google for Minecraft servers, though.

 

[stfoskey12]

If I were to download Tekkit, could I still play vanilla Minecraft?

 

[Maniacal]

Yes, they have separate launchers.

 

[stfoskey12]

Then I think I will download it soon.

If Mojang doesn't get this lighting issue sorted with the Halloween update I'm going to rage.

 

[KaiserElectric]

Fingers crossed. From what I understand, lighting is very hard to fix in the game.

I wish there was a tekkit pack for the most recent patch. We are still using 1.2 or something, none of the recent patches from Mojang are incorporated.

 

[Bowsling]

What's the issue with lightning? That it doesn't happen or something?

 

[KaiserElectric]

Pretty much. The lighting should be in shades and stuff, but there's an issue where it's just black in some spots.

 

[Bowsling]

I read lightning!

Try busting a hole in a ceiling so the space is bound on 5 sides by walls and on the bottom is open. Then put a torch on one of the walls in that hole.

It's actually black in the box with the torch, then lights up elsewhere.

This will take a while, imho, because each mod will have to be compatible with multiplayer due to the ability to make your single player game into a LAN server.

I am on a private multiplayer server, so I figured that was the holdup. Until then, we found a zombie spawn box and built an XP machine with it, so at least we can get enough XP to make enchanted stuff.

I really wanted an enchanted chainsaw, too bad we can't do that.

I downloaded Tekkit, but when I click on the thing to launch it, a command prompt opens up, and says to press any key to begin. If I do, the window closes and nothing else happens.
