To help reduce server bandwidth and help smooth out the user experience, we’ve installed a plugin called “CraftProxy”. CraftProxy is a plugin that allows the user to cache some chunks locally (save them on their computer) so then, while playing Minecraft, if that chunk needs to be loaded again, the game will load them from the users computer rather then from the server. This makes chunks load faster for the user, and it reduces both server-side and client-side internet bandwidth usage. You will need to follow these instructions and install CraftProxy to get a reserved slot on our server.

Starting Craft Proxy if already installed:

• CraftProxy MUST be started every time before joining our servers or you will not be able to connect. To do this, simply double-click on the “CraftProxyLiter.jar”, make sure the info is correct. Then, press Start.
• Launch “Minecraft” like normal and join our server with the information provided in the original setup below.
