Re: How To Set Up A 1.2.3 Server With Hack/Mine So I currently have a 0.5.2 server (minecraft 1.2.3) that me and my friends connect to using the Technic Launcher ensuring to launch 0.5.2 version of the game and everything works just fine. I recently decided to try out 0.5.3, I noticed two versions floating around, a pre prelease and the main 0.5.3 release that came out on the 02/05/12. This time round I'm having a serious problems with setting up this 0.5.3 server, I'm doing everything as I did with 0.5.2, downloading a fresh copy of 1.2.3 mincraft server and the new release and moving in the contents of the 'server' folder using WinRAR but whenever I start the server I get: Exception in thread "main" java.lang.ExceptionInInitializerError at ek.<clinit>(SourceFile:5) at ib.l(Item.java:528) at kw.a(SourceFile:139) at kw.c(SourceFile:86) at ib.<clinit>(Item.java:814) at vw.<clinit>(Block.java:1164) at kw.a(SourceFile:122) at kw.<clinit>(SourceFile:56) at net.minecraft.server.MinecraftServer.main(MinecraftServer.java:636) Caused by: java.lang.NullPointerException at java.io.Reader.<init>(Unknown Source) at java.io.InputStreamReader.<init>(Unknown Source) at on.a(StringTranslate.java:62) at on.a(StringTranslate.java:92) at on.<init>(StringTranslate.java:25) at on.<clinit>(StringTranslate.java:9) ... 9 more If I just place a normal minecraft_server.jar file into the folder everything starts fine, so does my .jar file for a tekkit server. I'm really confused I see that it is possible to run 0.5.3 servers as there are many listed on this forum. Is anyone able to help me I feel so silly. I've tried the server files from both the 0.5.3 prerelease and the main release with the same problem.
