Windows 10: I have Minecraft Java but can't play on my siblings' server.

They don't know what version of Java they have but they also play on PC. They created a server and every time I try to join it won't let me. Their version of Minecraft allows mods - I've never messed with mods so I don't know whether Java my version supports that, or if I need to buy a different Minecraft to be able to play with them. We are all on PC so why can't I join their server?

Homegroup For Minecraft Servers Or What?

It looks as if the existing minecraft server will use the new system without modification - It needs to be able to access the computers on the network in a two way link, which is the standard for Workgroup and Homegroup

There is a complete step by step available, if you have any issues ...

Tutorials/Setting up a server – Official Minecraft Wiki

It's not something I have any direct experience with but a quick read suggests to me that you will not need to do Much if any reconfiguration of the existing server

 

Java usage to high while playing minecraft/related


Java usage is to high while playing games using java (Mostly Minecraft)

At idle java uses only using about 1-2% CPU usage, but when it comes to playing minecraft it increases to 15%-50%.

When i decrease the amount of FPS Minecraft makes the lower the percentage goes..

Here's a example of me playing minecraft:

Java usage to high while playing minecraft/related


To add to what the two above me posted, Minecraft requires Java (though there is a way to get around it, I believe). While you're playing Minecraft, Java CPU usage WILL definitely spike up depending on how active you are in the game. And to emphasize, THIS IS NORMAL.

Or maybe you need to check with the developers of Minecraft for a possible 'memory leak' with the game. Also, this is NOT the Minecraft support forum.
