Question

What is the Hamachi IP address?

Staff Answer

The Hamachi IP address is what you make on Hamachi that your friends join, direct connect this specific IP, then the port to open to LAN that hosts it. The IP is your IPV4 address in Hamachi. When looking at Hamachi, right-click on the numbers next to the power button and it should say "copy ipv4 address." Try that as the IP, and if that doesn't work, try the IPV6 address.

You can join a LAN world in Minecraft either on the same WiFi as someone (usually this will mean you're in the same house/building) or you can do it as explained in the article above via Hamachi, online.

Staff Answer

Yes, you can play Minecraft LAN with Hamachi. First, download Hamachi, then make a "server" on it and have your friends join. After doing this, you should be able to have all of your friend/player group join Minecraft LAN via Hamachi.

Question

How do I choose the world for the server?

Community Answer

You have to go to your search bar then search %appdata%. After that, look for the .minecraft folder, then go into your saves. Find the world that you want to use and copy it, then paste it in the server file, and in Server Properties, change the level name to your world's name.

Question

When I join my friend's server it says "no future information." What does that mean?

Banana Head

Top Answerer

It could mean: 1. The IP address is wrong. This is usually the case, you may have typed a space in front of the address or something. 2. The server has been shutdown/unable to grab your signal. 3. You are running a different version than the server. Easy to fix. If the problem persists, report it to Minecraft.

It says "Logging In" but then the game says "Timed Out." What does this mean?

It means that your computer took too long to connect to the server. This usually happens when you don't have an internet connection, or the server you are trying to connect to is offline.

Question

My friend can't join the server. It just says, "failed to connect." Is this fixable?

Community Answer

Yes.This might be because the internet connection between you and your friend is slow. It might also fail if you or your friend have a cracked version of Minecraft. If the server file is corrupt, just make sure you're using a verified service to create Minecraft servers.

Question

Why does the server program executable close immediately after I open it?

Community Answer

You need to open it under the command prompt on your computer and put in the line provided on the Minecraft website. If the command doesn't work, make sure your directory is right. You can change it with the command cd\ (wherever the file is). Make sure your Java is fully updated too.

Question

My server properties thing doesn't show all that information, just Minecraft server properties and the date. What should I do?

Community Answer

You must accept the EULA agreement by opening the file named EULA.txt and changing "false" to "true" and saving the file. Then run your server again, let it complete loading, and close it. Then open the server properties file. It will then allow you to change the server IP like the tutorial shows.
