multiplayer version

[killerkong24]

do you think it would be possible to make a multiplayer version of this or can you only get single player world data

Multiplayer games don't store the world data on disk, so there's nothing Minutor could read for those.

In order to be able to "read" from multiplayer games, Minutor would need to either:

• connect to the server as a (bot) player
• act as a proxy between the player and the server, reading the data sent from the server to the player

I don't think Minutor should do either of these, since both of these actions would be huge effort to implement and maintain (every new release of Minecraft changes the network protocol) and are questionable as to their benefits (at the very least, only a small part of the world would be visible - only the viewdistance around the player).

Instead, I think a separate program working as the proxy could be developed (there's a pretty good basis for that in the Cuberite project, its ProtoProxy used to do about half the stuff needed from such a program, but is no longer maintained). Separating it away from Cuberite and reviving it should be preferable to actually including this functionality directly in Minutor.

It depends where your multiplayer world is hosted.

• For my self hosted worlds, I have network access to the world storage folder. There Minutor works exactly like for single player. You can see everything when it is stored. So it is not live or real time, as Minecraft has to store the data to disk before Minutor can read it.
• For rented server madmaxsoft described, that the data is not accessible. What I do in this case is to regularly download a backup of the server. You could even setup a script for that doing the backup e.g. every hour. On that local copy Minutor works exactly like for single player. To easy startup, I use a batch script to start Minutor with that backup folder.
