Yes
Good to know i was right, i will now carry this newfound confidence into every subject
Yes, and Minecraft is TCP not http
HTTP is TCP. And I'm pretty sure Minecraft uses UDP?
Oops you are right.
A quick search said mc uses tcp
Most games use UDP as the latency induced by TCP is unacceptable for games
Minecraft java, for some reason, doesnt
Minecraft is a building game where latency does not matter as much as in shooter games. For example, if your latency is 200 ms, you can play Minecraft smoothly, while in FPS games it is unacceptable 😉
Edit: In addition, the Minecraft server can use UDP protocol to serve the server status (but only for this purpose and it is not, nor has it ever been used by the game client). In the past, it was used to display the number of players on websites with server listings, but this can be considered deprecated now – today they use the same protocol as the game client.
TCP is the way that you send information, HTTP is what it means.
Minecraft could use TCP (but it probably uses UDP but it doesn't matter right now). The difference is the port. You can't have TCP and UDP on the same port.
You can’t have UDP and TCP on the same port? I don’t think that makes sense, I have DNS listening on UDP and TCP both on port 53.
For what
DNS
You have DNS listening on UDP and TCP... for DNS?
Iol, lol.
Why not? They are 2 completely separated set of ports. You can have a service listening on port 88 TCP while having another listening on port 88 UDP and they never know about each other.
You are sort of right
TCP is on layer 4 of the OSI model. Http is layer 7 which runs on top of layer 4 (TCP)
In sort Minecraft and http are both tcp
