"a bit" is doing a lot of work there. It was absolute nonsense. They were no closer to running a Minecraft server than I am to running UKGOV.

They hosted a program that allowed minecraft clients to connect... I'd class that as a minecraft server, even if it wasn't a very good one

    Connect in the sense of receiving a login packet and saying "yes". That's it. Steps 1, 2, 3, 9, 10 of [0] (they didn't mention encryption or compression, I'm assuming they didn't implement it.)

    They didn't mention anything about any of the steps past 10 - again, assuming they didn't implement them.

    It's a trivial thing they've implemented - good work, sure, but a Minecraft server? Absolutely not.
