I have hosted my own server and I have a problem with my IP address. I posted it in server.properties. The line with the server IP looks like this in the properties:
server-ip = mcjavaplay.net
Do I have to change anything in the line? I assumed that the problem was in the server IP because the following error message came up when I started:
…

Can someone help me please?
If the property is called "server-ip", I would guess that you don't have to enter a domain or hostname, but an IP address.
What do you think is an IP address?
First an IP there: and of course you also have to own the domain.
For example: 144.12.65.117 is an IP
The entry:
server-ip = mcjavaplay.net
please stay free, because nothing belongs in there…
A combination of 3 groups of numbers… Or 6 groups of numbers and letters from a-f…
what you see as an IP address is a domain…
Then what is griefergames.net?
Ouh ups
How do you get a domain?
You rent it from a provider…
https://www.strato.de/domains/
or wherever…
