    Minecraft/Discussion Changing Minecraft Usernames! (Petition)

    When banned servers store the actual username, so if there was a number per username someone could just change the username and get back on. I doubt that mojang would want to save all of the usernames and save them to one number as it would take up space and i dont know if they even have a number per username. Maybe though:D

    As a server owner and plugin developer this would be a nightmare.

    Heres why:

    1)All plugins that use a ban system or logging system would have to change their code. Meaning essentials(Most used plugin on bukkit) would have to change their banning code and logging of players code. This also means that all previously banned players would be able to freely join the server.

    2)ID system is not worth the time. It would take a ton of coding and checking from both mojang and bukkit devs.

    3) If mojang does implement this bukkit would have to come up with some function that could check the real username(Which might not be accessible to the public making it impossible to permanently ban someone). People would have to ban with ips(Which can also be bypassed by going to a friends house or using a VPN)

    If mojang does implement it without moderation or a hefty price then servers everywhere would run rampant. I would have to shutdown my server because of the grief. With the updates to bukkit(Which might take a while), bukkit servers wont be able to update until a fix is reached. Meaning all of your favorite mini-game servers and servers that have plugins will remain 1.6 for a while until a fix is found. making the 1.7 update useless for servers(Well most updates past 1.8B where useless anyways but thats for a nother time:))

    All i'm trying to say is that many servers and players would not like what comes with name changing.

    P.S - Sorry about the long post didnt think i would type this much.

    yes start small then work your way up. As aceyxx said. Get some funding before hand to pay for at least 2 months in advanced(From either allowance or a job of sorts, IDK how old you are:D). This way you can save up donations that are received and have enough to upgrade(if needed) when your pre-gotten money is used up. Also dont be afraid to ask nicely for a small donation.(DO NOT pressure the person to donate or make them feel like they should. Just say "Hey, as you know servers dont come cheap. If you wouldn't mind donating it would help alot!")

    Well for me I got into the staff side of things first so I could understand how plugins and the whole show works because if you can't manage plugins then you shouldn't own a server at all.

    Get it hosted. That is very important because hosts will have it 24/7 and you should get a dedicated IP(One with the default port of 25565).
    For now only get a 20 person server with atleast 2Gb of RAM. Then work your way up according to playerbase.

    To start off get the plugins you want and the builds you want(Make a custom spawn. It doesn't have to be fancy just make sure your players know what to do. Make signs with the most common commands).

    Then your gonna want to NOT make a huge room or building dedicated to donations yet. In small server you only need a small little spot with a few signs telling players that they can donate. Remember this is only a small server at this point.

    Now you just wait. Make sure plugins are up to date. Make sure players are having fun and not complaining(As much:D). Time will work wonders. You may not like it but time is the best answer. Make sure that your server has something different. Like for mine, I made my own plugin that adds some things and instantly my server grew in size.

    Advertising is not necessary. I only have my server on here and a few server list websites and in one(that I know of) youtube video. Just bump the server post on PMC every 24 hrs. and you will get new players. Trust me paying for advertisement is not worth it unless you spend over 1k.

    Hope this helps!
