HMF Gamers Minecraft Server

Hello everyone. This thread is dedicated to the Hitman Forum Gamers Minecraft Server.

“What is the purpose of a Minecraft server? I thought this was the Hitman Forum?”
The Minecraft server is to give a gaming space for members of HMF to build and play together. Sadly, at the moment, the Hitman franchise doesn’t really offer that sort of gaming experience. Minecraft is a game for all ages that can be enjoyed on most platforms.

“What platforms is this server available on?”
This server is run through Microsoft/Mojangs “Realms” service. The server is available to those who own Minecraft on Switch, Playstation, Xbox, and the Bedrock edition on Windows. The Java version of Minecraft cannot run this server.

“How do I join the server?”
Reply on this thread, or send a private message to @Silvereyes to ask to be invited.

“What are the rules?”
#1: This server will adhere to the rules and general ethos of Hitman Forum. Any member of the server that acts inappropriately may be reported to the moderators of Hitman Forum.

Terms of Service can be found here.

Also worth reading is this article which goes into further depth of the expected behaviour of members of HMF.

#2: No griefing other players, deliberately annoying or obstructing other players, or being a deliberate nuisance.

#3: No stealing other player’s property.

#4: No vandalising other player’s builds.

“Any guidelines or tips?”

#1 Please make sure to put a sign up marking your house, build, and belongings.

#2: Please make sure to utilise this thread and/or the “Stories” feature in Minecraft to give us updates on your own progress. We’d love to hear about your own progress and adventures!

#3: Please try and take notes of the coordinates where your home is, as well as any places of interest.

“Who runs and pays for the server?”

Currently, @Silvereyes pays for the server, and is responsible for rules and settings. If you wish to have any settings changed, or new rules implemented, please post on this thread or send him a private message. While Silvereyes runs this server, it is at the service for the members of HMF, and will abide by the decisions and rules of the site owner and moderators of Hitman Forum. As stated in the rules, if any member acts in an inappropriate way, Silvereyes may liase with the HMF moderators to address the issue.

Original Opening Post

Hello everyone,

I am looking at setting up a Minecraft server, one for the members of Hitman Forum. I think it would be nice to have a gaming space that we could use and share and collobarate on.

The server would be a “Realms Plus” server. Essentially a server ran by Microsoft/Mojang. This would run on the “Bedrock” edition of Minecraft, and should be available through crossplay on Playstation, Xbox, Switch, and PC. Sadly this means it won’t be available to PC users who still use the “Java” version of Minecraft, but I think crossplay should mean more people able to participate.

The server would be very basic, a vanilla survival server. The server would not be public, but would require an invite, which I will give to any member of HMF. The server will abide by the rules and general ethos of Hitman Forum, I will naturally expect any person who joins the server to give the same level of respect that they would whilst posting on the forum.

I am going to be upfront: I have not run a game server in my life. I don’t believe it should be too difficult to run, reading the tutorials Microsoft have it seems fairly simple to set up. But I do want this to be a collaborative effort, and looking for feedback on how to run things, especially if you are someone who has recent experience with Minecraft. I will be paying for the server myself.

Anyway, before I do set a server up, can you please post in this thread if you are interested, what platform you play Minecraft on, and if you have any questions or feedback. Thank you.

PlayStation 4. Finally a decent server! Me and my friends tried to set up one once. It worked for a long time, until a friend that no one likes burned down our houses. And then he complained that the server was too boring?? I mean, what did he expect?

I love this idea, and I can give you some help if you need!

If there’s any advice you can give, that would be great, thank you.

I’ll set up the server tonight after work.

Thank you for pinning this @wincenworks

Anyway, the server is up and running. I’ve messaged the 3 interested players so far, and 1 has said they’ve managed to get on thus far, so hopefully it should be running fine.

I plan to update the OP with server details, rules, guidelines, and how to join.

I also plan to update the thread with my own progress, and hope other players may do the same. I think my first task is setting up a decent base camp at the spawn point.

Looking forward to playing with you all.

Yeah I’d be interested! As a sort of ‘maybe’ test run!

I’m not a minecraft player. Never really got into it since the whole ‘open-endedness’ of it all was SO overwhelming I couldn’t figure out what/how to best progress first.
But with friends it might be nice!

No idea how to join, would love a DM with details lol. I own an old PS4 copy by the by… (which I’m assuming should be able to be upgraded into a PS5 version?)

You get a code from Silver you input it on the realms section of the worlds menu and that’s it you can now join it and once you’ve joined you don’t need the code you can just play whenever

Yes The PS5 version came out late last year and you should be upgraded to it

I’d looove to join! I think this would be a very nice way of still hanging out with my forum friends with Hitman / Io being involved : ) :cherry_blossom:
Can I have the code please!? :purple_heart:

I would love to play woth you all! I play on the xbox. I was afraid that my internet connection might be too laggy but I wanna try it.

It actually works really well with my terrible internet so I don’t think it would be a problem for you either

So, I have a problem that is basically because I don’t know much of Minecraft other than crafting. When I try to follow the steps in the Invitation To A Party @Silvereyes PMed me, it shows up a screen saying I have to pay to acess.

I’ve sent you an invite, we’d love to see you too.

I’ve sent you a new invite link just in case the old one wasn’t working. Hopefully Blossom’s instructions will help you.

Hello everyone. I’m sorry for the lack of updates, I’ve been a bit busy with real life. I haven’t had much time to put in the server yet myself. Honestly, at the moment, I’ve been wandering the map, trying to find the site of where I plan to establish my own house and town. I can be pretty picky honestly, trying to find some nice real estate. You know how it is.

I plan to update the OP with rules and guidelines for the server. Rules should be fairly obvious, but if I have missed something, or someone wants to make a suggestion, please let me know. I also want to put a guidelines section in. Stuff that aren’t hard rules but rather tips to being a positive influence on the server.

Thanks for the steps @blossomfox, I think it’s a little odd how its tucked away in the other tab like that, since nearly every other mention of Realms has a “join the subscription with a free trial!” Button they really really want you to press.

Since it’s been like a bajillion years since I checked out Minecraft on PS4, I now downloaded the PS5 version and also checked out the Marketplace. God damn there’s so much content, fan-made I assume, and also some free stuff! So I had fun downloading all the official free DLC available.

IDK why the “Legacy Character Skins” pack has Fidget from An Elysian Tail or Lee Everett from The Walking Dead Telltale as characters but okay :smiling_face:

Most of it is fanmade a easy way to see official stuff is there’s a made by Minecraft option in the menu if it isn’t there someone else made it

A lot of them have random characters in them and for those older ones if you play on PlayStation or Xbox there are different skins in them the first of the packs has banjo and kazooie and master chief normally but on PlayStation has sly cooper and nathan drake



Also the older console versions had things like The Simpsons and Rayman skins

I’ve been loooving playing on the server and made a friend in @H_I_T_M_A_N_Statue_F yesterday! :pink_heart:

Here is mine and @H_I_T_M_A_N_Statue_F’s home! I made it a couple days ago and I live above the Betty the Brown Panda’s bakery and they live on the other side.

I’d also like to mention that there is an in game option for posting things.

And I can’t believe @Lindolfo is making Sapienza in Minecraft! They seem super good at the game and have already made an outline out of cobblestone. :pink_heart:

One last thing: Minecraft is getting an absoltely amazing update in a week with 2 really special things! Vibrant visuals and the happy ghast (which 4 people can ride!!!) :pink_heart:


(p.s. I think fire and tnt should be disabled as there have been some forest fires recently @Silvereyes)
