Minecraft
This is a temporary page.
Minecraft got way too popular for this humble server. I've had to disable everything fancy to even get it to run.
The following things do not work at the moment:
- Registering an account
- Purchasing the game
- User verification for online servers
The following does work:
- Actually playing the game
- Player skins
Until this all gets sorted out, I'm officially calling a "free-to-play weekend", or however long this will take to fix.
If you want to keep track of the latest developments, please follow my blog. I also post stuff on my twitter, but there's a lot of nonsense there as well.

This means we can all play ALPHA!!!!!!!
The World of Minecraft client doesn't work because of the way classic mode works. Which, atm, doesnt due to the minecraft.net server having fits.
When he says 'free-to-play' he means Minecraft alpha (survival sp/mp), not creative which the World of Minecraft client runs on.
