Minecraftedu external server need more options to work with class...

[mjma...@gmail.com]

Hello Minecraftedu community....

This year I am hoping to run a minecraftedu server on Snaju.com and have all my studnets build within one world at a time. As minecraftedu is setup right now I don't know if that will be possible. I need some functions that are just not built into minecraft.

1. I would love for students to be able to set a password for their username so if I tryed to login as you it would first ask me for a password.

2. I wish I could have students setup passwords for some doors and chests

3. I would love for the option to have factions or teams within minecraftedu

Any suggestions to make these or get these ideas to the hands of the developers would be great. 

Thanks much....

Mods, mods, mods!

Isn't it fantastic that we can now incorporate mods into our MinecraftEDU experience?

1 - ForgeEssentials includes an authentication module which asks players to set a password when they first log into the world. On subsequent log ins they wont be able to move or do anything unless they input their password.

2 - If you're talking aabout actually making passwords to access doors and chests because it would be cool to have passwords then CompuiterCraft is probably your best bet. You can program a basic security terminal that will allow acccess to doors etc using a specified pin number. If you're just talking about protecting houses and the contents of chests I can recommend MyTown enough its a brilliant mod which allows you to claim a chunk and set who has access to it. In it's most basic form, users type in 1 command (/town new TownName) and they have protected a 16x16 square area of land in which they are the only people who can build and access chests etc.

3 - What do you want to do with teams? CustomNPCs includes a Factions element for players and NPCs meaning if you align yourself with a certain faction then NPCs of opposing factions will be hostile to you. I just read this morning about the scoreboard feature of minecraft which allows you to set teams based on colours (i think) eg red team, blue team etc. This team colour can be used to represent the player name and you can even set things like friendly fire, meaning in a pvp match players from the same team wont be able to hit each other.

All of these mods work with MinecraftEDU with the possible exception of ForgeEssentials as I only performed minimal testing on it for another purpose.

Hope this helps!

I almost have authentication module working on my server with ForgeEssentials. Anyone think they can help... 

Problem is:

Works with the teacher account but doesn't work with the students accounts. Not sure why?

Thanks much,

Does the mod have any commands that need to be typed in by the student?  

If so it might need to be placed in this file:

/minecraftedu/servertool/settings/allowedcommands.txt 

This method is very new an untested. Expect quirks.  But I really hope it works!  Let us know.

IT WORKS! You need to be running MinecraftEdu 1.5.1 build 15 and you can't just install all the Forge Essentials as some of them make it crash.

Here is what I did...

1. I installed the coremod file that came with Essentials.

2. Then I placed just the Authentication mod in the mod folder

3. Go to ForgeEssentials folder in the server directory and edit the file in AuthLogin call config 

4. Go to folder Servertools/settings and change the allowedstudentscommands.txt and place these lines:

    /auth help

    /auth register

    /auth login

    /auth changepass

That is it! 

So glad this will work. I now can have students login from home without worry that they are cheating the system. I teach Middle Schoolers and I am sure it would have crossed their minds to login as someone else. 

Thanks much for the help Joel with the tip on allowing students part. Hope this helps others. 

I have been using snaju.com for my EDU server and they have been great. This addition will make it possible to allow students to connect.

Hi Michael,

Just wondering what version of FE you are using and if I can get a copy of it. I am looking into this again but every version I've tried so far crashes my server. I'm running EDU build 16, im assuming you mean it will work with build 15+?

I am assuming from other post of yours that you have found a working copy. I was wondering if you are having the same issue as me. I can't get the whitelist command to work with essentials installed. I don't want to over state the problem, the whitelist works just the command doesn't. Which means I have to restart the server everytime I make a change and upload a new whitelist. 

Do you have any solutions for this problem. I really need this to work. 

Thanks much,

Michael
