How to Port Forward a Minecraft Server
Last updated
Ever wondered how to let your friends join your Minecraft server from all over the world? It’s all about port forwarding your Minecraft server!
Let’s dive into the simple steps to get your friends building and adventuring in your Minecraft world from anywhere.
Simple Steps to Port Forward Your Server
To start, you need to access your router’s settings. This usually involves typing your router’s IP address into a web browser. You can find this address in your router’s manual or by searching for your router model online.
Once you’re in, look for a section called ‘Port Forwarding’ or something similar. You’ll need to enter a specific port number for Minecraft, which is usually 25565, and choose TCP as the protocol. You also need to put in the IP address of the computer hosting your server, so the router knows where to send the Minecraft traffic.
