Multicraft

Recommendations for use of Multicraft on Amahi.

Do not use FTP

FTP is not a secure protocol and it's rather cumbersome to work out. For using Multicraft on Amahi, it's best to create a share pointing to the area of the app, so you and any other users in your network can add, delete or modify files in the server area (needless to say, do this carefully, as it may break the server).

To add a share, go to your HDA's Dashboard then Setup > Shares. Create a share with the name you like (e.g. Multicraft). The default settings are OK (visible and not read-only).

Once created, modify the location of the share by clicking on it and changing the location from the default to

 /var/hda/web-apps/multicraft/app

Then you can use a share with any client you want (mac, windows, linux, ..) to mess with files in Multicraft.

Using Alternate Minecraft Servers

By default, this app comes with the standard Minecraft server, version 1.8. To upgrade this or use other server, like the optimized server or the Craftbukkit server, login as admin, then go to Settings, then click on Update Minecraft.

There are multiple steps: selecting the server kind you want to get, first download the .conf file, then install it. Then select the JAR file, followed by download and install.
