AWKWARD ZOMBIE

Could I choose the name or is it set to something?

maybe you shouldnt be talking about pirating minecraft on a public forum

Notch said he doesnt care though

ive yet to see proof of that, and knowing what a cheddar hog notch is, i doubt he said such a thing

It's just a "username" box so you just type in any name, but if you keep using different usernames then your whitelist/op status on any servers would have to be re-added and cause a whole bunch of trouble. I suggest using your actual Minecraft account name if you have one or when you make a MC account to create it under your crackedversion name.

Yep, otherwise the option to check usernames against the online database wouldn't be an option and would just always be ON.

well alright then but it still seems in bad taste legally

Regardless, keep pirating in private if you're gonna do it.

Moot point since I just got a legit copy

My server is back up with the latest snapshot if anyone wants to join.

24.231.65.216

SO what does it mean by "End of Stream" when I try to connect to a server?

Just close the minecraft client and try again, which server are you trying to connect to?

Yours actually. 3rd attempt at retarting the application.

I'm guessing you didn't update your jar to the latest snapshot?

Take this http://assets.minecraft.net/12w21b/minecraft.jar

And then go to C:\Users\YOURCOMPUTERNAME\AppData\Roaming\.minecraft\bin\

paste that jar into the bin.
