How to create a Minecraft Club - Non Minecraft Edu

[TriggerHappyUK]

Hi,

 

One of my primary schools would like to start a Minecraft Club.

 

We missed the cut-off date for buying pre-release Minecraft Edu, so have bought 12 premium licences for the normal Minecraft game until the official re-release in the summer (so that the current Year 6 students can enjoy the club).

 

We have created 12 user accounts in Minecraft and they are assigned individual email addresses.

 

We have installed Minecraft onto 12 i5 laptops, but when we try and login onto the game launcher we get the following error...

 

 

(ConnectException: Connection refused: connect)

 

 

We have contacted our ISP and have had the following firewall rules created...

 

 

Source : School IP range

 

Destination : minecraftedu.com : 54.83.52.110

minecraft-proxy-us.minecraftedu.com: 23.23.173.103

minecraft-proxy-ie.minecraftedu.com: 54.72.109.234

 

Port : TCP/ UDP 25565

 

 

But still get the error!!

 

Please does anyone have any ideas on how to fix this.

 

Thanks in advance

The standard game won't use the minecraftedu.com domain. I had a quick look myself and these were the main URLs accessed...

 

http://assets.mojang.com
http://launcher.mojang.com
http://mcupdate.tumblr.com
http://resources.download.minecraft.net

Still not getting anywhere with this

 

Have had all the above URLs and ports allowed/opened.

 

Here is a screenshot of the error we're getting...

 

 

Would really like to get this sorted before half term.

 

Any ideas will be gratefully received

Try running HTTPNetworkSniffer to see which URLs Minecraft is accessing when you launch it.

I'll give that a go when I'm in the school next week :-)

At a guess from the error, do you access the internet through a proxy? I think the MineCraft launcher has issues with proxies.

Yes, they do. But the same error comes up even if we use the staff proxy login to bypass the proxy.
