I recently changed the port my server is running on from 6119 to 25565 and what I was wondering is: can somone make a plugins that replies to a join request on the wrong port with "wrong port, the new one is (serverIP)"? Not for anyport, just 6119 EG user logs in with serverip:6119 instead of returning "unknown host" it returns "wrong port! just type (serverip).

if you run a seccond server with a redirect plugin on that port, that way they would be send to the other server. it would work but i cant code java so it aint up to me Edit!!: i know!"# use this whitelist plugin and change the kick msg to Wrong port would be working http://forums.bukkit.org/threads/admn-gen-whitelist-v2-7-431-556.587/
yeah tought so to but set priority to low if your using windows i used windows now linux i had a laggy shit server and no its no lag with mobs and animals and website and ftp ect..
I was interested by this idea, so made you this: http://www.srcf.ucam.org/~eh392/minecraft/Plugins/PortChange.jar It will automatically create a config file for itself in a PortChange directory. Change the 'old' and 'new' properties correspondingly. (It's far more efficient than running a whole other server).
Thank you il try this out right away =D Hmmm the ports unchangable, it keeps rewriting the value to 9999 when I change it... EDIT by Moderator: merged posts, please use the edit button instead of double posting.
awesome, works now...one final request instead of the "Please connect to new port:25565" message can you make it customizable because 25565 is the default port can it say somthing like this instead? "Please connect to Turtleserverplay.tk"? I know I am asking alot =P
Ok. Done. you will need to add a new line to the config file (or delete it and it will regenerate correctly): Code: server: 'your.server.url'
your the bestest person ever =D that's exactly what I wanted, now people wont quit just because they don't read announcements =/
Maybe it would be simpler to make a MC server simulator that just blocks anyone from connecting with a set message. Only would use cpu when someone was trying to connect.
