How to Port Forward Your Minecraft Server

If you’ve been wondering how to make your Minecraft server available for friends far and wide to join, then you’re thinking about port forwarding. Let’s break down what that means and how you can do it.

So, you’re asking, “How do I port forward my Minecraft server?” You’re in the right place to find out.

Easy Steps to Port Forward Your Minecraft Server

Port forwarding is a way to let computers outside your home network connect to your Minecraft server. It’s like opening a specific door in your internet router through which external players can enter to join your game.

Here’s how to do it: First, you need to access your router’s settings. This usually involves typing your router’s IP address into a web browser. Once you’re in, look for the Port Forwarding section. You’ll then enter the port number Minecraft uses (by default, it’s 25565) and your computer’s IP address. Make sure you select TCP/UDP as the protocol. Lastly, save your changes, and your server should be accessible to players worldwide.
