C# live tutorial: Creating a Minecraft server launcher (Part 25)
0This is part 25 of my live streaming tutorial about creating a Minecraft server launcher application in C#.
The weird edit-button bug from last time was fixed and explained. A new class was added to handle conversion of color tags for things like chat texts and the MOTD text for a server. The first bits for a new dialog were made for editing custom color text.
The eventual goal is to have a launcher application that can handle running multiple instances of Minecraft servers, do maintenance restarts and daily backups, plus whatever other features may pop up along the way.

These videos are for instructional purposes and the code shown may not be the most efficient way of accomplishing particular tasks. In some cases I choose to implement code to handle certain tasks "oldschool" to show how it can be implement when a library may not be available to do the job. While using a library to do the job at hand is often easier and faster, it does not teach how to actually do the job without a library, which can lead to certain coding skills being lost as dependance on libraries becomes greater.
