Hi all!
I have a linux VPS that I rent in Germany. I use it for random projects and stuff, and I thought about hosting a Minecraft clone on it specifically for beehaw!
The opensource framework I used is called Luanti. In that engine there are lots of implemented games to choose from, I choose Mineclonia as it seems very popular and well supported.
The server used "beehaw" as map seed, and is currently running at the following IP: 212.227.170.117, port number is the default 30000 for Luanti.
How do I join? Just download the Luanti client, go to "Join Game", fill in IP and port and register using your desired username and a safe new password.
I don't have a URL for it yet and it is also invisible in the server browser of luanti, but you should be able to register using the IP. Looking forward to seeing others appear. This is a first experiment, so don't be angry / sad if stuff breaks or gets lost. I just thought it would be fun to have a game to hang out in :). There is a maximum of 16 concurrent players at the moment. This is the default, I have no idea if the server can handle more or less! Also, please be kind in there. I am unable to moderate this place. If nasty stuff happens there, I might be able to block some people but I would probably just have to nuke the server!
I agree that the default isn't great, but from the link that @[email protected] had posted, there is actually a way to move the inventory button to where you want:
https://samsinventory.docs.luanti.org/files/videos/touchscreen-editor.mp4
So, they go into the menu, then press the "Exit" button.
Unfortunately, that video is already out of date again, as there's now a general "Settings" button where the "Touchscreen Layout" button was. But in those settings, you can select the "Touchscreen" category and then that button is near the top.
Then it works like in the video again, by pressing "Add button" and so on.
