All right guys, I found something amazing here:

If you have a computer that cannot play Minecraft, or it lags too much, or you just don't like playing minecraft, then THIS IS FOR YOU!

 

It's basically Minechat for the PC, it connects you to a server's Chat and that's it- no stress on yo' Processer at all.

 

This will help anyone with lower-end PCs, or anyone with Older PCs, and I would have loved to have this back when I was stuck with old 2003 and we went to 1.7.

 

Anyways, here it is!

[also I had to use my Email as my username, so if any of you try to get on it and it tells you your password is wrong even though you know it was right, switch out your name for your email, basically just log into it just like you do the Launcher or the Website.]

That's actually a pretty cool thing, cheers! :) Sometimes I just go on to the server to chat, this is good for that kind of thing.

I had this idea a while ago. It's good to see that someone did it 2 years ago.  It's a shame it's in C# and needs mono to work not on Windows.  Just because it works on Mono doesn't really mean it's native.

You can build a Minecraft PC for under $200 (USD). This program seems pretty stupid, really. Besides, why would you get a Minecraft account if you don't have a capable computer?

It worked for him before, but the wonderful world of updating and the move towards current-generation technology has rendered his computer... useless for this game.

 

And why would you insist on just joining to talk? You can't talk to these people on skype or in google hangouts? Or do you need to partially be there ingame? I don't understand this thing, really. If I can't play in minecraft then I wouldn't join via a chat program but I guess I'm just not that desperate to talk to people. Good for the people who are, I suppose, but really, I agree that if you're wanting to continue playing minecraft or any game in general then it might be a good idea to just build a cheap, modern computer. Literally anything you can build now will be better than what you have and you will never regret spending the money to do so.

Oh look, three Builders.

 

 

Anyways, Not everybody on the server just joins, builds stuff, and leaves, some of us like to talk to other people, and most of us just stand around while doing so anyways.   So why boot up Minecraft to stay within the same 100 block radius and do nothing but Talk?  Give your Processor a break and use the Chat Program!

The real question is "Why play Minecraft if all you're going to do is talk?"

People (admins), stop saying its useless. If you're like me and have 2 computers, a custom power machine and a crappy netbook, this would be useful on the latter. Of course on my desktop, I'd just open Minecraft. I'm also assuming that this program uses less power than the actual client, so my battery will last longer.

I have to agree that using Minecraft solely as a chat client is extremely pointless, given we have the forums and a million other solutions.

What? Why are people saying that this is useless?

 

I don't get it. Sometimes when I'm drawing with SAI on my computer and need to be talking to people who are on the server this is pretty useful because I often have a great number of tabs open and that can make things jumpy on my £300 computer which is never really pleasant while drawing. Also, what's so wrong with Polaris using it? Is there some hidden server rule that states you must be in the actual game to join the server? I don't think there is, so I don't see what the problem is. Let him use whatever damn program he likes.

 

Also, bear in mind that Polaris is a whitename and therefore can't do a lot of things on the server that builders can do and he might only really use the server to talk to people. I know myself that the community is a major part of why I even come on the server and that it's definitely no fun building with nobody to talk to. Of course that's my opinion so feel free to disagree, but I just don't get what the big problem is with Polaris or anyone using Minechat or this console client. Just because you wouldn't need to use something doesn't mean that it's not useful to anyone else.

Critical hostility level!

 

To sum it up, a PC MC chat client can be useful for those who like to multitask, or have a low-end machine, but it is pointless to those that can run MC fine or want to do more on the server than just talk. As for using this as a mean to just talk to other people, there are so many other programs dedicated to this specific task that using the chat client is like using a tin can telephone instead of an actual phone.

 

To sum it up even more, if you like it, use it. If you hate it, don't use it. Topic locked for obvious reason.
