Leeched: How to Mineshafter

[Farlander]

So, this is a write up on how to use Mineshafter! Don't know what Mineshafter is? Mineshafter provides a free alternative to the main Minecraft web services. What this means is you have one account, and can have a skin. However, only other Mineshafter users can see the skin.

Alright, well the first step is to visit http://mineshafter.appspot.com/

Now, up in the top right you should see "Login"

Logging in requires a Google account. So if you have G+, Youtube, GMail, etc then you're set.

Now, after loggin in, where it said "Login" it will now say your Google username. Hover your mouse over it and click "Settings"

This will take you to your settings page where you must connect a Minecraft.net account. So, go to http://www.minecraft.net/ and click register on the top right corner. Once done, enter your Minecraft information where it says "Connect your Minecraft account."

Okay! Now that that's done you page should look similar-ish to mine. (Aside from the skin).

Now, to upload a skin you must make one, then upload it to an image hosting site. Such as imageshack, photobucket, postimage, tinypic, and so on. Now take the link, put it where it says "Skin URL" and click "Set"

If done correctly you should see your skin.



You can also do a cloak the same way.

Now to Download the client.

Firstly, click "Downloads" to take you to the downloads page.

Then click "Mineshafter proxy for players" (this will start the download)

You can save the file anywhere. Now go to the file and Double-Click it. It should run just like a program. If for whatever reason it doesn't, post here and I'll help you.

This is what you should see

Simply enter your login info (Minecraft.net) and you're good to go.

I use that lol and so does dusk and the random lol

 

[Rustayy]

I've been using it for almost 1 1/2 year now lol

 

[Farlander]

Lool.
I just posted it here so that people can have it too.

 

[Peanutbrick]

I can't open the .jar D: . Can you help me?

 

[Rustayy]

I can't open the .jar D: . Can you help me?

Do you have Mac or pc?

 

[Peanutbrick]

A pc whit win7 64-bit...

 

[Caz00]

u can open .jar with winrar or winzip

 

[Rustayy]

Make sure your opening the mineshafter_proxy.jar . OH and I was just on the website, they had a bug going on with it do I recommend reinstalling the program.

 

[Rustayy]

Oh wait are you trying to edit the files, or actually run it?

 

[Farlander]

Peanutbrick,
try this.

make a .bat file and put in it

java -jar -Xmx512 Mineshafter-proxy.jar

This will make it run, but the .bat file and Mineshafter-proxy.jar must be in the same directory, or it will not work.

 

[Rustayy]

I actually if your gonna make a .bat file than you should dedicate more ram to minecraft.

 

[Farlander]

True, but by default Java allocates too much memory to Minecraft, 256 is all it needs to run with the default texture pack. 512 is enough for a 32x32 pack, and so on and so on.

 

[Rustayy]

Lol I have a 512x512 texture pack that I run on sp (if I play it on the server I will get crazy lag) and to get a decent frame rate I had to dedicate 6 gb of ram to my minecraft lol

 

[Farlander]

You should get a new graphics card then.

 

[Rustayy]

You should get a new graphics card then.

Haha trust me, I want to. This summer i'm getting a job and I should be making $10 per hour, and I did the math and I should have enough to get a new laptop. And that new laptop is a Alienware M14. I am pimping that thing out with 16gb of RAM and the best graphics card possible.

 

[Farlander]

PLEASE, WHEN YOU GET ENOUGH FOR TWO, SEND ONE TO ME.

 

[Rustayy]

PLEASE, WHEN YOU GET ENOUGH FOR TWO, SEND ONE TO ME.

[Farlander]
