To put all this in one place so I can just link all you fucks to it in the future. Minecraft Verions Minecraft currently has 2 verions Minecraft: Java Edition - this is the OG PC only version. It can only be played by PC with other PC players (don't know about Mac's before Elliott asks.) Minecraft; Otherwise sometimes called Bedrock edition or Better together - this is ALL other platorms - mobile, ps4, xbox one, switch and also the Windows 10 version. As all versions are the same then anyone playing this version has the potential to cross play. To avoid confusion for the rest of this post I shall refert to this as Minecraft:BE. Multiplayer and Cross Play This is where things get annoying and a little complicated but to break it down by what people play on. Before I do though, there's 2 types of mutliplayer servers available. The first is an external server and loads of companies offer this. FG currently rent one fo the modded version of mincreaft, we also have one for Conan too (this is also the one hosting the Bedrock server). The other type is Realms - realms are basically private servers you can rent from Microstroft directly and are available to rent in Minecraft itself. Both external servers and realms are persistent worlds and can be connected to 24/7. So on to the different verions; PC - PC's on Java edition can only connect to Java edition servers. and only other PC master race players can join. PC, if running Windows 10, can play Minecraft:BE and can connect to any server that is hosting Minecraft:BE. Again, anyone else on PC using Minecraft:BE can connect too. PC's can also connect to realms. XBox one and Switch - These are both also running Minecraft:BE though due to limitations put in place by MS and Nintendo they can't connect to external servers. This means if you want to play multiplayers you're limited the standard ones or to rent a realm. PS4 - PS4 is currently running Minecraft:BE however, due to only having been updated to Minectraft:BE recently, there are no servers available. This feature will be added at some point but currently there is no official ETA on when this update will be released. It is presumed by almost everyone that Sony will also follow suit and block access to external servers so multiplayer on ps4 will the same as Xbox and Switch. That is the the standard ones or to rent a realm, Consoles generally - You can invite friends to your world and host multiplayer that way. However this is hosted on your console and so a) comes with the performance limitations of it (cpu power, internet speed etc.) and is also only available while your console is online. How to know which version I have Consoles, mobiles, VR (basically anything but PC) - these should have all updatred to Minecraft:BE automatically. PC: When you buy Minecract on PC you have a choice whether to buy Java Edition or Bedrock Edition so buy the right version. If you already own it and you dont' know - when you log in and see the main screen it should say either "Minecraft Java Edition" or just "Minecraft" at the top. If you bought Java edition before October 18, 2018 you can download the Windows 10 verions (so Minecraft:BE) for free. To claim the free versions - Log into account.mojang.com, and under the “My Games” heading you will find a button to claim your gift code. If you purchased Minecraft: Java Edition after October 19th, 2018, the button will not be there, so if you’re unsure of when you purchased Minecraft: Java Edition, that’s a good way to check. Pressing the button will generate a token and send you to a Microsoft redemption page. Can I play Minecraft - PC Specs For standard / vanilla, these are the specs directly recommend; Minimum Requirements: CPU: Intel Core i3-3210 3.2 GHz / AMD A8-7600 APU 3.1 GHz or equivalent RAM: 4GB GPU (Integrated): Intel HD Graphics 4000 (Ivy Bridge) or AMD Radeon R5 series (Kaveri line) with OpenGL 4.4* GPU (Discrete): Nvidia GeForce 400 Series or AMD Radeon HD 7000 series with OpenGL 4.4 HDD: At least 1GB for game core, maps and other files OS: - Windows: Windows 7 and up - macOS: Any 64-bit OS X using 10.9 Maverick or newer - Linux: Any modern 64-bit distributions from 2014 onwards Internet connectivity is required for downloading Minecraft files, afterwards offline play is possible. Recommended Requirements: CPU: Intel Core i5-4690 3.5GHz / AMD A10-7800 APU 3.5 GHz or equivalent RAM: 8GB GPU: GeForce 700 Series or AMD Radeon Rx 200 Series (excluding integrated chipsets) with OpenGL 4.5 HDD: 4GB (SSD is recommended) OS (recommended 64-bit): - Windows: Windows 10 - macOS: macOS 10.12 Sierra - Linux: Any modern distributions from 2014 onwards Modded Minimum Requirements: For modded Minecraft, the specs become a little higher and I'd say the minimum specs for modded are the recommend requirements above. Modded Recommend Requirements CPU: Intel 6th series i5 or i7 / AMD Ryzen RAM: 16Gb GPU: GeForce 900 Series (not sure what AMD equivalent is, will update once known) OS 64-bit - Windows: Windows 10 - macOS: macOS 10.12 Sierra - Linux: Any modern distributions from 2014 onwards Installing and Setting up Multi MC Installing and initial set up of Multi MC 0:00 Setting up a vanilla game 1:00 Installing a mod pack 2:45 Installing custom mods: 5:45 Determing maximum RAM for assign 8:50 So I think that answers everything but any questions post them up.

This would suggest otherwise https://minecraft.gamepedia.com/Bedrock_Dedicated_Server “Bedrock Dedicated Server allows users to connect except from the Nintendo Switch. Xbox One users can only connect through a LAN connection.” It doesn’t mention ps4 which is the problem I was having as there seems to be little info about ps4 bedrock. As I said happy to give it a go but just raising it might not work for everyone as some people are only playing on console. Edit: Actually, just reading about it the wiki says ps4 has neither servers or realms yet. Though they will be added in a future update.

New expansion is out to revamp the entire game and whole new area, revisiting New York from D1 - £25.99. Multiple trailers below: It looks like they are going the right way with this. Power numbers to chase, whole new gear sets to find and what interests me most is the way they are creating 4 warlords that you have to take down. Very much Forsaken, Destiny arch-enemy styled which makes you get into the game more and want to hunt them down. With 8 player raids too that I've never got to, it sounds like a decent amount of content to get our teeth into. I've reinstalled and will look to buy this if we have a good group of people trying it out - what are peoples thoughts?

Can anyone get hold of Dylan as I think his account may have been hijacked by some Russian Steam Community :: Ангелина STEAMCOMMUNITY.COM No information given. I very much doubt our Scottish boy has turned into a Russian bird.

Good call, I've added them to the OP. I never properly written a guide on Multi MC and installing mods so will add that to the OP too but that can wait until tomorrow.

Watford 3-0 Liverpool! The start of the bottlejob hopefully😎

Good write up, bud. I bought MC:Java way back in the day. I didn't know Ibcould download MC:BE for free. So, thanks :) I'll do that soon. Via the FG App

Nice post Greeb. [emoji106] A lot of the guys will be running laptops/PC as well...could you put up a spec that will allow then to play on the Java server without too much frustration? I know it will be mod pack dependant but IIRC I've run most of the packs in the past on a Sony Vaio with 8g of ram Via the FG App

Good afternoon/ evening, I have started a new Bedrock Minecraft server for us hosted by G-Portal. At current we have 10 slots, this is subject to change based on the interest we generate. Being a Bedrock server means that it is playable cross platform, get on your pc, ps4, Xbox whatever and come join us. All are welcome and if we need additional slots please do not hesitate to reach out.

I loved it Phil. The first bit I did though I literally jumped out of my seat. I am utter shite at horror games but I wanted to give it a go. The way the zombies charge at you scared the crap out of me. Especially when in the dark areas I didnt know to crouch under the cans that hung from the ceiling. I honestly was shouting out at the screen, @Nutcuttlit , @J&B , @MrBiron and @ChaosGladiator were there I think just listening to how crap and slow I was doing the tutorial mission. Once I got into a squad, it's a slow paced game but self contained in the hour which I liked a lot. I like the fact its tactical against PvE and PvP too but not too many PvP players about (12 max in each game I believe). One of the bosses is utterly, ridiculously, stupid hard and Biron and me got him first - The Assassin. Made me realise I wasn't 12 with super twitch skills anymore 😭. But taking down bosses and then defending them are great. Lots to understand on the character building thing. And once you get to level 11 (I'm nearly there) if you get killed you lose that character - full stop. I think that's a great feature. High risk, high reward game like Nutty said before. Couldn't get on much last week due to half term activities but will invest some nights in it moving forward. Event nights would work well with this.

I have created a Bedrock Minecraft server with open slots from the same provider we use for Conan. Please feel free to jump on and contribute to the community.

The first thing that came to mind was too much Buckfast😎

LoL is a good shout. I also hear Star Wars Battlefront 2 is pretty decent now. Sent from my SM-G955F using Tapatalk

This will be the only game I will be playing for the foreseeable future, has everything I need. PvP and PvE, tense moments and tactical decision making. Absolute fuckin bliss. Via the FG App

Definitely.
