minecarts dont work in SMP

Yes they do, nobody understands.
You don't see the tracks properly line up, but other people do.

It's a simple matter of who places the tracks.

Guys, I have a problem with hosting. I can set up a server fine. I port forwarded a stuffload of ports but I have found out why people can't connect to my server.
Minecraft assigns unforwarded ports to people. So when I forwarded ports 25565-65000, it began assigning ports over 65000 to people. I forwarded 25565-65350, it began assigning ports over 65350 to people. I guess this could go on forever. So how to stop Minecraft preferring unforwarded ports? :c

Disable that immediately, because you're going to get hacked. Opening that many ports is a hacker magnet.

It's also very likely that it's your router and not minecraft.

Check if your ports really are open and report back to me.

My server is back up.

I know what I am doing. I know how to port forward. Port forwarding for Blockland worked just fine, and yes, it was before the port forwarding not required update.
Only idiots get "hacked" through ports or whatever.

I tried setting my IP to blank, 127.0.0.1, 192.168.1.64(My LAN IP), normal IP. I tried ports 25565,28000,28001.
I can connect fine, other people can't.
And these port checker things don't work for me even when my ports are open.
My problem is that the server assigns unforwarded ports to clients, instead of taking lower ports I have forwarded. It assigns even higher port #s to people if I forward bigger range of ports.

Are you guys typing your own IP into the Multiplayer thing to host?

Also Lil Robot what's your IP?

Guys, I need some help.
I have to port-forward, I'm hosting on my mac, but I don't know what to name the application if it's minecraft_server.jar

And that port thing says my UDP ports are open.

Put random name for that in router, doesn't matter, it's just description.

I have to name the allowed application it says.
Format:
Application | Port From | Internet Protocol | Port To | Enable
Also: When joining server, it says connection refused: connect.

[D3ATH]

You have to connect with IP:Port in most cases.
And you are forwarding the ports, application/name is just a description about the ports your forward.

When you type in the name of whatever program you're portforwarding, what do you put?

Hooray, the only ring merchants hoster is borked.

And even worse trying to manage ports on a MAC.

Blockland, Minecraft etc.

Where are you guys grabbing your servers IP?

This isn't going to work out. I'll just host from here then.
