Our server hosted by Aaron Schwartz has been upgraded to 1.16.5
At this writing, 1.16.5 is the "latest version" of Minecraft. However, that could change.
Mojang typically issues new releases every few months.
Until the EVO Minecraft server is upgraded to the new version, it will continue to run the old one.
You have to ensure that the version of Minecraft you are running on your device is the same as the one running on the server.
As of January, 2021
The EVO server is running Minecraft version 1.16.5
Important catch: The latest version of MC is 1.16.5, or maybe even higher when you read this
You'll need 1.16.5 in order to play on the EVO server until and if it is upgraded
But the most recent change was mainly to the back end. If you launch with 1.16.4 Mojang might upgrade you behind the scenes.
To change Minecraft versions using the new launcher (as of August, 2020) here is what you do ...
Note that the latest version in January 2021 is 1.16.5
Note that in Jan 2021 if you choose "latest release" it will be 1.16.5
As of January 2021 choose 1.16.5
As of January 2021 you want 1.16.5
Shown here are the names you have given the installations you have loaded into your Microsoft client installer
In January 2021 the version you should choose to play is the one that you have updated to 1.16.5
The name you see to the left of PLAY is the name that YOU give your installation.
I find it good practice to include the version number in the name I give my installations.
Video showing how to set your PLAY profile in an older version of the Minecraft Launcher
Olivetree made a 3:38 min:sec video to show you how to change your profile from the latest version to the one we were using at the time: 1.12.2
And you can try following the instructions below the video, but note that the new Minecraft launcher has changed its appearance slightly, though the principle is the same.
How to connect with our server at mc.evomc.net
Video instructions for server connection
Olivetree made a 5:28 min:sec video to show you how to connect with the EVO Minecraft Server once you have the correct profile running
And you can try following the instructions below the video. Keep in mind that our installation version has changed.
Text and visual instructions for server connection
If you want to refresh your knowledge without watching the video again, try following these instructions.
Keep in mind that what you see might be a little different since the installer itself has changed, but the current view is similar and the principle is the same.
Run Minecraft and select "Multiplayer"
Click "Add Server"
In "Server Address" type in the IP address of our server mc.evomc.net and then select "Done".
Be careful there are no extra spaces before or after the server name
Extra spaces will be significant and will not connect you with our server
Write in the server name EVO 2021 or whatever you wish to call this server. Best practices suggest that the name you give it include the version#; e.g. EVO 2021 1.16.5
4. From here click on the server EVOMC 2021 (or whatever you called it) and then click the button "Join Server".
If you get a connection error, click REFRESH and try again.
Thanks to EVO Minecraft MOOC co-moderator Aaron Schwartz for setting up and maintaining the EVO server
from a nether portal in his office at Ohio University, Athens, Georgia.
The nether portal might have by now emerged at one of his home computers, but that is immaterial to us here.
Our server has rules - please follow them
You can see these rules while paying on our server.
In Minecraft press the forward leaning slash key /
This will bring up the text you see in red and yellow above
Type /rules to see the rules as shown above
A model Community Minecraft Charter
We were honored to have Jo Kay with us in EVOMC17. She did a formal session on Jokadia which we recorded here
We think that the Massively@jokaydia Community Minecraft Charter provides reasonable guidelines governing behavior on our server. It was developed by some of the kids playing on Massively Minecraft.
We accept join requests from educators (and sometimes their students and/or their children) whose profiles appear to link to identifiable people who could become potential colleagues as opposed to gamers apparently using pseudonyms, and whose reasons for joining us would likely be incompatible with our goals and passions, which relate to gamification in education, not just playing Minecraft for hedonistic reasons. As we are a community of practice interested in assisting each other in using Minecraft creatively and constructively with students, we might reject profiles that appear irrelevant to our goals or indicate no evidence of shared aspirations.
Caveats
Minecraft is constantly coming out with updates, so instructions and server details may go out of date here.
If you notice anything that is incorrect, please notify us.
