CraftBukkit Automatic Installer (Iridium Server Manager)

(ex CraftBukkit Automatic Installer)

Built For

Designed from the ground up, based on the foundations of the old CraftBukkit Automatic Installer and Bukkit Operator Panel,The Iridium Server Manager is designed to be your one stop Minecraft server installation/management solution.

Constructed to be easy to use as well as aesthetically pleasing, Iridium will ultimately provide an intuitive experience into the Bukkit World, allowing total server control, generation, download of craftbukkit and plugins, and easy network setup to ensure a smooth setup for novices.

This Program is currently in beta. As a result, there will be bugs.

  · Online players list with kick/ban/give/etc. hotkeys
  · “Save” Hotkey
  · Minimize to notification center
  · Plugin Downloader
  o Search for and download plugins from within the panel
  o Optional preconfigurations for many plugins (will need people to help construct these)
  · Addons (opt-in, to minimise download size)
  o One click network configuration for the server (hopefully, if not a cleaner version of the current Application Port Mapper)
  o Beginner server bundles (preconfigured with permissions, command lists and plugins, like the old Craftbukkit Installer had)
  · World and Server Management/Backups

  o Server Properties editor looks very ugly right now – need to spruce it up along with the startup parameters, ops and whitelist files.

For now, whilst development is moving very rapidly, the most recent downloads will be provided via the website, since it takes time to update links on this forum, and since I've copied and pasted a lot of this content from a Word Document, the formatting is very touchy, making edits hard.

However, I will try to keep the following link as a permalink to the latest versions, however there is no guarantee that a file will exist at all times.

HOW TO GET STARTED WITH IRIDIUM (@jacklin213)

This program uses:
The BukGet API, developed and maintained by @SteveMcGrath
The Jayrock JSON Library to parse BukGet
The Minotar API for the user profile images

Amazing, just an hour ago I began fussing over the ins and outs of running a small, modded server for my close friends. After much scouring and installing and research I happened across your post. I'll be happy to give it a shot!
Edit: I ran the .exe and the readme popped up. In it, you say "click on launch craftbukkit". Where do I do that? :/ I can't figure out what the launcher did.

hmm.. there should be a shorcut created on your desktop and in your start menu. If there isn't, please tell me what OS you are running and ill check that i set it up correctly. alternatively,you can go to where it was installed and double click on CraftBukkit Starter.bat
Sorry, but I'm not sure exactly what your problem is because in testing on my Windows 7 PC it worked fine.

My apologies, I was being blind. Everything worked perfectly! In fact, I've got my server up and running just as well as I'd like it. Quick question, is there a way to allow people to build and break blocks without /op ing them? Thanks for the awesome software! It helped me tremendously.

You're Welcome
About building and breaking blocks without being op, you can try using a plugin called Permissions. It is a confusing plugin to start with, but with a little searching around, you should be able to get it working. Just head over here to get it. However, I'd reccomend doing thorough research because I have managed to botch my server completely by setting it up wrong.
By the way, any suggestions on improving this?
If you need help with Permissions, just message me and I'll give you a hand

how do i add plugins with this? i cant find the server folder.
ty in advance
dazonkey

heyy im having trouble getting onto my server i got the launch craftbukkit shortcut and when that was finshed loading i didnt no how to get on to my server plz help

umm i can gte onto my server but how do you install plugins really need help

If you left the install directory without changing anything, the server folder should be in c:/users/YOURNAME/appdata/roaming/.CraftBukkit
To install pluigins, visit plugins.bukkit.org get what you want and place the .jar in you plugins folder

Plugins.bukkit.org has tons of plugins. You should check for the ones compatible with the craftbukit version you have. Right now that should be [953] or maybe higher. Then place those in the plugins folder where craftbukkit was installed

ok thx

can you join my server for a sec ip=59.100.6.168

ohhk

where do you download it RAWR RAWR RAWR!!!!!

by the way what are some great plugins

Permissions is a really good one. It lets you select what commands people can use and whether they can build or not. However, it can be a bit problematic if you're new, so I would recommend waiting until you're a bit more experienced.
GodPowers is quite good. it lets you do various things like jump really high, walk on water and lava, thorw fireballs and strike down other people with lightning
Essentials. As the name suggests, these are some of the most essential tools you need to run CraftBukkit. It really helps, with commands that help you set the weather, time, teleport, warps and even lets you set the spawn and create a jail.
hope this helps get you started

Clcik the download link just above the screenshots. it should take you to a mediafire page

I dont know what my ip is and how to get it i typed in whats my ip on google and a website told me some numbers but when i tried them it said the thing alredy exists???? please help

you have 2 ips an external (which is what others use to connect to you), and your internal ip what your router uses to keep track of you on the network (ex: 192.168.x.y where x and y are numbers from 0 to below 255 not including 192.168.1.1 as that is usually your router) you may also use "localhost" to connect to the server if you are running it on your computer. Otherwise you can find your local ip in your network settings and your external is probably not working due to a lack of port-forwarding.
Edit: also if your are trying to fill in the option in your server properties just leave it blank

sorry, could you please elaborate?

i cant find my ip i looked for it using the internet but what it came up with didnt work

thanks that helped a bit

Great is it all working now?

Why do i get

Code:

Registry key 'Software\JavaSoft\Java Runtime Environment\CurrentVersion'
has value '1.7', but '1.6' is required.
Error: could not find java.dll
Error: could not find Java SE Runtime Environment.
Press any key to continue . . .

Hey i have set up my server, and i can join it and the problem which has always accured is People cant join Please Help me with this me and my bro just want to play and i would love it. Please get back to me on this

If your bro is playing On the same network in your house then you have to set online mode to false in the server.properties file.
Then find your internal ip by goin into command prompt and typing "ipconfig". The number you should use will be like "192.168.x.y" put that number in te server ip place in the server.properties file. Then your brother just has to type that ip in his multiplayer screen and it should work

So sorry, that's a mistake on my part, I forgot to add support for java 1.7. I will fix it in the install before tomorrow but for now you can go into the CraftBukkit starter.bat file and change the java version to 1.7

My bro is on a different IP! and he cannot connect, ,can you help me out please

I have a simple suggestion, you insert a title change line into the Craftbukkit Starter.bat just to rename the window and give the ability for people hosting multiple servers to change the name to avoid confusion.

Like here is mine:

Code:

@ECHO OFF
title CraftBukkit Server
IF /I "%PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE:~-2%"=="64" "%ProgramFiles(x86)%\Java\jre6\bin\java.exe" -Xincgc -Xmx1024M -jar "%~dp0craftbukkit-0.0.1-snapshot.jar"
IF /I "%PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE:~-2%"=="86"  java -Xincgc -Xmx1024M -jar "%~dp0craftbukkit-0.0.1-snapshot.jar"
PAUSE

Great work though on this, it is a very nice tool for first timers.

[Edit] @p1nkwafflez if you are hosting the server on your computer locally, you must use the ip: 127.0.0.1 and your bro must use your internal lan ip which you can find out by doing this:

Hold down the windows key+R then type cmd and hit enter, now type ipconfig (in the black box) then scroll up until you see IPv4 Address.........: (This is the ip you supply to your bro)

I assume you are on the same network, if you aren't and he is trying to connect through the internet then you most likely need to forward port 25565 though your firewall and/or your router.

great idea, I'll put this in when I release the Java 1.7 compatible version, which should be in an hour or so
