FAQs

Here are the answers to some of the most commonly asked questions about Genisys.

Since 0.15, my PC-generated maps cause client crashes. Why is this, and how can I fix it?

This is because of a client bug in 0.15 resulting in blocks that would ordinarily be displayed as update! blocks causing crashes. #blamemojang

Ways to get around this problem
- Some of our users have reported that [BlockLauncher](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.zhuoweizhang.mcpelauncher) resolves this problem (Android only). However, we do not endorse the use of BlockLauncher on servers.
- Alternatively, you can use a tool like [MCEdit](https://github.com/Khroki/MCEdit-Unified) or [pmimporter](https://github.com/Muirfield/pmimporter) to remove MCPE-unknown blocks from your world.

How to enable Xbox Live authentication?

Genisys includes capability to enforce Xbox Live authentication. This is strongly recommended for public servers. Enforcing Xbox Live authentication allows getting rid of auth plugins, reduces hackers and allows more effective banning.

To enable this feature, simply set `online-mode` to `true` in `server.properties`, and restart your server.

NOTE: This feature requires the OpenSSL extension for PHP. If you don't have the OpenSSL extension, update packages for Android and Windows can be found at our [website](https://itxtech.org/download/PHP%20for%20Genisys/). Linux/Mac users not using Docker will need to recompile PHP with the OpenSSL extension to use this feature.

I cannot connect to servers hosted on the same computer with Windows 10 Edition Beta. How can I fix this?

This is due to certain network security restrictions which are in place on Windows apps. To fix this, do one of the following:

Method 1: PowerShell (credits to @robske110)

Open Windows PowerShell and run the following command:

`CheckNetIsolation LoopbackExempt -a -n="Microsoft.MinecraftUWP_8wekyb3d8bbwe"`

When you next open the game, you should be able to connect to your local server. If not, try the second method.

Method 2: Modify your options.txt (credits to @timm1292)

1. Navigate to `%localappdata%\Packages\Microsoft.MinecraftUWP_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalState\games\com.mojang\minecraftpe`.
2. Open the `options.txt` in a text editor and find the option `dev_uselocalserver`. Set it to 1 and save the file.
3. Restart your game and attempt to connect to your server.

What happened to /ms, /makeplugin, and the other developer commands?

These commands were considered unnecessary to be included in the server core. They have been moved to the [Genisys-DevTools](https://github.com/iTXTech/Genisys-DevTools) plugin. If you need these commands, please use this plugin instead.
