I cant seem to find any tutorials on how to set up a Mindcrack server. Could someone walk me through this? I have already dl'd the server.:)

Also when I enter my ip into the server prop and then start the server it comes up with an error that says "FAILED TO BIND PORT" "Perhaps there is a server already running on that port?"

Try this video:


And that error message means you already have a server running on the port you are using. If you don't see it started, either start the task manager and kill all java instances, or reboot your computer.

Thanks! I had to use 127.0.0.1 as my ip and it works now.

Yes, 127.0.0.1 is the "loopback" IP, which means "Turn around, we're already here!".

If you want anyone else to be able to connect, you will need to open ports/etc.

Opening ports should not cause any sort of change like that. Stop the server, restart the computer the server is on (your computer), and try logging back into 127.0.0.1 again.

I also changed the ip.

There are a few different "IPs" to concern yourself with. I'll list them, and explain them as best as I can:

127.0.0.1: This IP will ALWAYS be the same IP pointing to the computer you are on. This will NEVER change (well, it might someday if we decide to change the way TCP/IP works, but don't worry about that).
Your internal IP: In almost all cases, you are connecting your computer to the internet through a modem (commonly also called an internet gateway). This decide (or another device down the line called a router) will give you an IP that usually starts with 192.168 and then will have two more digits, such as .1.100 (192.168.1.100). This is your internal IP (also called your NAT IP, etc) and will work for anyone on the same internal network as you. This will NOT work for anyone NOT on your network.
Your external IP: This will be the IP given to your modem, and can usually be found by going to http://whatismyip.com/. This IP will work for people external to your network, but ports need to be opened and properly pointing to your internal IP on the modem.

I used my external ip. When i did the port I used the port 25565 but there wasnt a place to put the ip in for the internal ip.

Your internal IP is automatically "translated" (NAT standard for Network Address Translation) into the external IP, and the other way around when people connect remotely.

And no idea about those world leaks, sorry mate.
