Is it easy to make a Minecraft server?

I have a MC server and have entered the ip4 address in server.proprties at server ip with a cmd ipconfig and gejoint with the ip4 address on the server. Can people from another network on my server now join this ip4 address or do you have to do something like that?

fr

No, the server is not visible from the outside… You come with your IP of course, you would also have come up, if you had entered as IP 127.0.0.1 or localhost.

Tutorials are enough for something on the net… However, it is not recommended to run a server at home on your own computer.

If the ports are free in your router that should work.

Ch

OK.

Ha

Nope, this only shows you your local IP address.

http://www.wieistmeineip.de shows you the ones you need. This IP changes but i.d.R. Daily / when you restart your router. So you need eg NoIP, so that the other players can constantly join on the same domain.

You just have to know his IP. Then you install the server. Then you open the ports on the router. You connect with Localhost your friends from other networks with your IP.

Ch

I think my brother has already done that. Times

But I do not know if he still has it inside

Ha

And the port 25565 (UDP and TCP) you still have to unlock in your router

Pa

You need an internal, static IP first - otherwise you will restart your PC and it will not work anymore. Then you open the port 25565 in the router and forward it to your PC. If necessary, you also have to locally adjust the firewall there.

Pa

Question - why not recommended? If this is just for friends, I see no problem there.

La

Just try it so notice if it works

fr

Nevertheless, no one will come from the outside over the local IP on the server…

Ch

Come on this Discort, if you want, then you can try if you can get it (If you have minecraft: https://discord.gg/...gg/jNMWGm)

ju

Well, you're right… I thought too fast… Wieistmeineip.de regulates.

Ch

OK thanks.

Pa

You do not need anyone to test that. Simply enter the IP here and see if it is reachable: https://mcsrvstat.us/

Energy consumption, the computer must indeed run so that it can be played permanently on it

Loss of performance, a server alone already eats enough resources, if at the same time to be played, you need NEN really thick computer, but then also comes point 1 again hard to carry

Danger of data loss, if you do not know exactly what you do on your own computer so, what the FS based on the question is

Just to name a few points…

Pa

I do not consider it dramatic. How exactly should it come to data loss?

In addition, a Vanilla world does not draw such resources now that 16GB RAM and a reasonably reasonable processor would not be enough.

fr

By not knowing, as I said, what you do on the server… Especially Minecraft is not necessarily easy…

There are so cheap ways to host a server, I know no reason why I should do this to my own computer…

Pa

In the end, especially at a young age, because it costs even less than a bit. At that time I would never have been able to persuade my father to rent a Minecraft server - and if it only costs five euro. But I have to say that has left a mark and now a complete server cabinet is with me xD
