m7rlin – MINECRAFT SERVER PORT FORWARD? – All versions – Play with friends!

Hey my dears! I greet you very warmly and very cordially. In the episode, in which I will show you how to share your server, which we did in the last episode, so, that every player, every person from all over the world can join it without any problem.

We will start by opening in our text editor the “server.proporties” file then we will have to open run, in this case we click “Windows + R” The following window will open for us in which we type “cmd” and click “Enter” The console will then open. We can also

Enter “cmd” in any folder in the bar at the top. Then also such a window will open. Type the command “ipconfig” and click “Enter”. And now here we have 2 very important information, namely the “standard gateway” and our IP. Generally, our IP and “standard gateway” will have to be copied and used.

In general, at the beginning, we will copy the version 4 to IP and generally paste here into the server.proporties file as an ip-server, if we do not paste it, our server will also work. However, we can paste it. The server-port is very interesting, which we will be able to use it soon.

The normal server port is 25565, if that’s the port the server has , then in Minecraft we will not have to add it. This means, that Minecraft will automatically add this port for us. Only if the port is 25565. We copy our router’s gateway.

It is a “standard gateway” and may also be a “default gateway”. It simply means a standard gateway or a default gateway. And in the browser we open a new window, in which we paste the standard gateway (default / standard gateway).

Now we log into the router. My router is UPC and it looks like this. This page will look different for each person. This page will look different for each person. Regardless of the router, the website will have a username field and a password field.

For most routers, login data can be accessed from the back or bottom of the router. As we turn the router from the back or bottom. Login and password should be written. If this is not the case , you can see the contract with the Internet provider or ask your parents

Or just call the person, who installed the Internet and just ask what the password and login is. There may also be a situation where, for example, a sister, brother, mother were setting up the router. Then you can go and ask too.

Knowing the model of our router, we can visit the website portforward.com. Here we can check what are the default passwords for our router, because of course we can change the password. And this password has nothing to do with the WiFi password.

For example, I have a router that was somehow called UBR. Something like that. when I click here, we will see that my default password in this case was “admin” and “admin” because it was my UPC router. And that was the default password and login. It may be different for you.

All links are in the description. 🙂 Then let’s log in. Ok, once we’re logged in. We go to the “advanced” tab. It may look different for you, however, this is how it looks for me. We turn off the WAN-Blocking option.

Not every router has this option, so if your router doesn’t have it, you don’t have to worry about it. Then we have something like “forwarding” i.e. port forwarding and here we will need the following information. Namely, as we wrote in this file

We have, so to speak, our IP of our computer. It is IPv4 IPv4-Address, it is in German for me, but that’s ok. And we’ll copy this address from here. And paste it as “Target IP Address” this is the IP address of the device we want to redirect.

This address tells us, that this is our computer. Then we redirect the port from our computer. There can be a lot of ports. If I’m not mistaken, there are 65,000 of them. Something like that. This port is the port of our Minecraft server. So this is exactly the port that is entered here.

We copy this port. If we will have a different port because we will have several servers, we will enter this port here. So we paste it here. And now a public port. The public port can be any port, eg 10.

Only then in Minecraft we will have to enter the IP of our computer and add “:” and the port of our server. In this case “:10”. It is not problematic, but it is better to leave it as I said, because Minecraft will automatically complete it for us. But only if it is 25565.

The protocol we will be using is TCP, but if we select “Both” so both protocols will be okay too. So if we have it already set we choose “Save”. If our router saves this information the console will no longer be needed. We will save and close the “server.proporties” file.

We open the folder with the files of our Minecraft server. And we go to the website, thanks to which we can check if the port of our server is open. The website will display your computer’s IP address, which you can copy. You don’t need to test whether the server port is open.

On this page, we only enter the public port that we have provided, which is 25565. We give “Check”. And we’ll see that it won’t find us a port. That it won’t be open. As we can see the red flag and the port is closed. At the moment we start our Minecraft server.

Let the world load. And if we give “Check” now, we will see that the port has opened and there is a green flag. If the server is down, don’t worry that the port is closed. Because the app won’t work.

And at this point, anyone in the world by giving my IP address will be able to connect to the server. It is a very simple thing. Trivial to make. And each of you can handle it. And it’s actually just a few clicks. You shouldn’t have a problem with that.

What should the person, who would like to connect to this server type? This IP address in Minecraft. Let’s do a test. We run Minecraft. If we do not want to use this site, then type “my ip” into google.

And on this page we will see the IP to be copied. I have to hide this IP. Here you will see your IP that we have to copy and send to your friends. Being in Minecraft, click Multiplayer. We add the server. We can enter, for example, “Kris’s server” or something like that.

Here we paste the IP address. And that’s it. Now your friends will see your server here. ATTENTION! You will not see this server here because my router does not have a looping option that loops a public address to a private address. Therefore, do not worry if you enter this address here and

It does not appear here. You don’t have to worry about it. But it will appear with your friends. If you used a different public port, you have to add it after the colon sign. For example if I was to use port 10 then I have to write “:10”.

Unfortunately, due to the fact that we entered our local address in “server.proporties”, now we have to enter it here. “192.168.0.12” And your friends your public IP address. However, if we write in “server.proporties”, we will delete this IP address , we will simply delete it in this way, we will leave

It then , when starting the server, people will still be able to join it, but you will also be able to connect using “localhost” as it is we will see in a moment . Now we can connect and by using the local address “localhost” as we enter “localhost” and using “127.0.0.1”

It is also localhost and by using these 3 addresses we can connect. And outsiders must use a public IP address. We’ll see if it actually works. We are on the server. And we can see that everything is working fine. Here we have cute little sheep. Black and white.
