This past weekend I spent a good deal of time setting up a Minecraft SMP (Survival Multiplayer, or Beta) server for a Minecraft group here at VPI. The catalyst for this was a desire to mine, and perhaps even craft, with other gamers on and off campus. Plus, the group didn't have an official SMP server so I figured i might as well put the Core i5 in my desktop to work. If only it was as easy as clicking the download link on the Minecraft page...
