How To Make A Minecraft Server With Plugins

You have so far set up the server that only you can use it. The whole point you decided to make a Minecraft server was so that you and other people could play Minecraft on the same world and interact with each other. It would be boring for you to play all alone so I will show the steps to allow others to join your Minecraft server.

1. You first need to open CMD by pressing windows key + R, and then typing "cmd".

2. Minecraft servers Once CMD is open, type "ipconfig" into the address bar and hit enter. A screen with a lot of numbers and letters should pop up, this is all of the information about your internet connection.

3. Copy the number from Default Gateway. It should look something like 192.168.0.1

4. Open the web browser you prefer and copy the number into the URL address field.

5. Log in to your internet router.

6. Click on advanced settings to access the port forwarding section. Click on add new and enter "25565" for the port number

7. To open CMD again, press the windows key + R while typing "cmd". Find your IPv4 Address and use that address as your IP address.

8. Next, find out your public IP by going to this link

9. You can invite people to join your server by giving them the public IP address, followed by ":25565". It should look like this: PublicIP:25565

Your friends and you can now play and interact together in the same Minecraft World. You may not have the IP address that you wanted, but it is possible to have an address like "us.mineplex.com" which costs money and is more difficult.
