MinecraftEdu questions

[TechSupp]

Can anyone shed some light on setting up a Minecraft Edu server? I have a reasonable Dell Bladeserver going spare somewhat at the moment and thought about setting up Minecraft. I have zero experience of it! Reading on the web I see I would need to purchase a server license but do I also need to purchase client licenses as well? It would be set up so that the pupils only have access to if from the IT suite on the school network, no access from outside etc. any tips on setting this up?

Been thinking of getting back in to MC, kind of want to join a server that I can build anything and doesn't have a ton of mods..

 

How you start it?... good question!

 

Kinda miss building cities, dungeons etc

You would need to purchase one server license, then a client license for as many simultaneous connections you want at once. If your suite is 30 computers, you'll need 30 client licenses.

 

MineCraftEdu is a discounted, modded, version of the original game 'designed' for use in schools.

Are you talking about https://minecraftedu.com

Got Minecraftedu installed and running as a test here at the moment, have looked at the settings file when it loads and have got to show just minimal things i.e. the start minecraftedu button but when I click this it then fires up another screen to be clicked before it goes into Minecraft. Can I get it to automatically pass this second screen so its just, click shortcut on desktop which opens launcher, then launcher just starts Minecraft?

 

Edit: Its OK found it!

Further questions!

How do I know what users have logged onto the minecraftedu server and how via the client logon do I stop more that one user logging on with the same name? Totally new to all of this! This is all in the offline mode.
