You too know Skaiacraft? xD once i was in the top 10 of skyblock there;
cracked minecraft = minecraft pirate, there are some downloads of minecraft in the internet that you don't need to pay for, but it's not very good since without paying the 20€ you can't join a premium server, you'll get bad login and you can't have dat epic skin that you want.
I'm pretty sure Notch said you could "legally" pirate the game if you didn't want to buy it, and Microsoft didn't announce any changes.
Also not exactly weird and complicated, just limit 1 (or more if you don't want the forums) account/ip unless they appeal on some forums or something and have a register system so you have to register first (use a plug in) Then let the ops register with their own password and hackers can't get on their account unless they get a hold of the password.
Oh and like any server install Nocheat+ to stop hacking
Well its suppoted by normal servers
And some cracked launchers dont let you go on even cracked servers because its been blocked due to "contract breaches" whatever that means.
When will it be ready? xD and how do we get the mods? are you making a modpack?
Right... I am gonna have to create a downloadable copy of my mods folder, because I cant be bothered doing all the crap it tells me to do to upload a modpack onto technic launcher. All you have to do once you have downloaded it is locate your appdata files, click on .minecraft, and place the mods folder in. If you already have a mods folder with mods in it, you don't need to delete it.
NOTE: If you do not install minecraft forge, you will not be able to run the mods.
Be patient everyone; the server WILL come.
