The Aternos forums are now deprecated

Learn more about this change here.

For help regarding Aternos, we recommend you to visit our support center.

    If you are talking about this thread: Modpack Request - Civilization (Custom FTB modpack.)
    There is a totally understandable message below the "Closed" image saying "No serverversion available".
    Sorry if you misunderstood this close as some kind of ignorance, but if there is a clear reason,
    we close the thread to keep the overview and avoid unnecessary discussions.
    If there is still something to talk about, you can always create a new thread or write us a private message to reopen the thread,
    which we will do, if you give us a valid reason.

    No.


    They are abusing our and other companies' logos to scam people.
    It's not allowed to sell Minecon capes.
    We already have informed Mojang about this website.


    Don't use this website and most important: Don't give them any money.

    Schlimm nicht, aber es hilft dir einfach nicht. Genaue Statistiken zu deinem Server sind nicht so leicht zu erfassen, vielleicht irgendwann in der Zukunft mal.
    Ansonsten kannst du immer noch Plugins wie Essentials benutzen, die dir die RAM Auslastung und auch deine TPS verraten, um Rückschlüsse auf die Performance zu ziehen.

    We don't want it in general.

    That's not true. If you really want to donate, not "donate" (=get something in return), then we are totally happy about that.
    We also had a donation button in the past. We removed it because there were nearly no donations (I think I can count them with one hand).
    And it caused more trouble then it was worth, e.g. people asking for something in return after they donated or other issues.


    There are some rumours out there claiming that Aternos is paid with donations & ads, which is simply not true and was never true.
    We only get money from ads and we will never get enough money from donations to run just one machine.
    So please keep in mind that if you donate, you will not really push forward our system or help us growing our infrastructure.
    It is a nice way to say thank you to us and give us a little treat, but it also means a lot to us if you just say thank you without any money.



    We don't update the plugins, this is done via an automated API.
    In this case there's something going on with the sorting of the different versions.
    The latest version (4.2.1) is actually there, but it is at the end of the version list (Click "All versions" on the right).
    I will have a look at that strange sorting later.

    And I've blocked it again.


    You don't seem to be able to handle that responsibility.




    BTW: You weren't blocked for posting in the wrong section, better read your warnings correctly.

    Factions relies on MassiveCore and MassiveCore provides the functions used to store configs and other data in multiple ways.
    By default it stores everything in flat files (that's what we want) in a folder called mstore in the main directory of your server. (not your plugin directory)
    That's a bit stupid but we can fix that really easy.

    Note that this will reset all your factions and regions.


    I've already done this for you two @sd_captain & @fireman1x, but you can also revert this, if you need your old factions.
    Just change the flatfile config back and restart your server.

    Naja, sonderlich kritisch waren die Informationen jetzt nicht, aber trotzdem sollten sie nicht hierhin. Und wir haben darüber schon gesprochen, allerdings ist die Priorität dabei sehr niedrig und wir haben viele wichtigere Pläne. Wir verstehen natürlich dass das Interesse and den Statistiken durchaus vorhanden ist, allerdings hilft es den Usern kaum weiter sondern wirft eher Fragen auf, wie z.B. warum nur 97% grade genutzt werden o.ä., um die wir uns dann im Support kümmern müssen.

    i went to school and got a few certificates for coding

    Certificates don't make a good coder, certificates don't make a coder at all, certificates just mean that you have a piece of paper for people who care. Here nobody cares.


    Maybe you haven't learnt that in your certificated lessons where you got a certificate, but time and money isn't endless in the real world (the one where people don't care about certificates).
    We make Aternos in our free time, so we all have another full time job or some still go to school and we don't get anything from this, it's just for fun.
    It is just simply impossible for us to review every piece of code in mods that users want to upload to our servers, we just don't have the time for that. If you have a certificate for mathematics, you can calculate that on your own, otherwise ask a certificated calculator. For your calculations: More than 10,000 servers are started every day and there are 8 team members. (Little hint: 8 < 10,000)

    Hey hey hey! 8o


    Servers for Minecraft PE (Pocket Edition) are now available on Aternos.
    Currently we support the three community made server softwares ClearSky, Genisys and Nukkit.
    But this thread is not only to announce this, but also to answer some questions that will (probably) be asked frequently.

    Where is my super cool aternos.me IP? Why does my IP change on every start? I HATE THAT!
    Yes, it sucks. And we hate it, too. But currently there is no other way to do this, because Mojang decided somehow not to support SRV records in MCPE.

    So what are SRV records?
    Aternos has a very dynamic system, allowing us to host hundreds and thousands of servers on multiple machines at the same time. Your server almost never
    starts on the same machine at the same port as it was before. This also means that your IP and port change with every start, too. You know this as the "DynIP".
    But there is a cool feature called SRV records, that allows us to create an aternos.me IP, that redirects you to the correct machine and port. We change that
    SRV record for you on every server start in the background, so you never have to switch your IP in your Minecraft client.
    Cool feature for MCPC, but sadly not possible in MCPE. Why? We don't know, ask Mojang.


    I want plugins! Give me plugins pls!
    Good to know that we are not alone, but the MCPE server softwares are a pretty chaotic mess. There are lots of different server softwares with different places
    for plugins and they even need different programming languages for their plugins (ClearSky and Genisys are PHP, Nukkit is Java).
    Right now, we see no good platform for MCPE plugins, not to mention that there is no platform with an API (like Bukget or Spiget).
    We will add plugins, if there is such a platform available, if you know any good place, don't hesitate to tell us.


    Servers have bugs. I can't do this and that doesn't work.
    This answer is also valid for MCPC servers, but we have seen especially lots of bugs in the MCPE versions. We are not the developers of the server software, so
    it might help them, if you report the bugs to them and not to us. There is a big difference between MCPC and MCPE server softwares, because Mojang hasn't
    published a server software for MCPE (yet). This means that every part from world generation to crafting a pickaxe was completely rewritten by voluntary
    community developers. Craftbukkit or Spigot on the other side are "just" modified vanilla versions and base on the work of Mojang.
    Again we don't know why Mojang did this, better ask them.
