Hey guys,
i saw lots of serverposts here from people, who have a totally wrong understandig of making a server.
They posted local server ip addresses (eg: 127.0.0.1 or 192.168.1.154) and people always said they could not connect.
So i'll try to explain you, what you need to create your own server at home.
I bet most people won't meet the requirements, so please don't post your server here if it is so.
(r) = required / (o) = optional
What you need:
1.) (o) a machine (computer) which runs 24/7 (otherwise, please post your ontimes here in GMT time)
2.) (r) setup a minecraft server with galacticraft installed (post all mods you installed beside galacticraft)
3.) (r) setup a static lan ip address for your "machine" eg: 192.168.1.146
4.) (r) login to your router and forward port 25565 to your machine, where the server runs
5.) (r) get your public ip adress on http://myip.is
5.1) check if you have a static ip or a dynamic. To do so, check 3 day every day your ip on http://myip.is it shows always the same ip, your ip is static else you have a dynamic ip.
6.) [(r) if dynamic ip / (o) if static ip] Get a hostname, you can get one for free on dyndns.org Then setup your router, to sumbit your ip daily to dyndns to make the hostname work. A hostname is for example "youtube.de"
7.) if you meet all requirements, then feel free to post a new thread with your server ip adress or hostname. Be sure to follow all rules which you can read here: http://forum.micdoodle8.com/index.php?threads/server-post-guidelines.1072/
I hope i could help to either create a minecraft server or keep this forum clean.
