Yeah, any donations to Gamer9430's home for neglected computers is greatly appreciated too LOL
Hehe. You aren't hosting game servers, web stats, and other PowerPC stuff XD. BTW, if any of you guys want me to host any PowerPc related game servers (for other games) let me know!

You have to go into "Edit Profile" when you first open the launcher, then select "Use Version: Release 1.5.1".

In order to allow gameplay on PPC, we have to use an older version of Minecraft, which is 1.5.1 as opposed to 1.8.8 or later.

For those that are curious, a PowerPC mac is not really up to running a minecraft server. The java is so slow, that when I tried the server app on my dual 1.33ghz 2gig xserve g4, it was complaining about not keeping its speed when nobody was logged in.

I sincerely doubt even a quad G5 could run it with a few players at smooth speed. I blame this mostly on the old java on the powerpc systems.

Might be taking the server down for a bit. The networking on the server has been ridiculously slow. Like I'm still downloading package lists....
