Its sad how Minecraft has become one of the rare games that where you can host your server without going through a centralized service. This used to be the standard, and not an exception.
I'm not sure if this counts as a centralized server in your eyes, but many popular games on Steam offer dedicated servers in both Windows and Linux.
I think all of the Linux ones require steamcmd, but personally I've hosted (in no particular order) Terraria, 7DtD, Cryofall, Don't Starve, Ark, and more. It's usually pretty simple and decently documented, as well.
I think the problem here is that most people only know AAA games. There's a thriving indie market(which Minecraft used to be a part of) that the average person knows very little about. At least I get that impression from non-gaming parts of social media and people I know irl.
Lots of indie survival exploration games still allow you to self-host locally on your own dedicated server, like valheim, astroneer, and v rising. Just no big publishers
Why doesn't those 12 completely different plugins work at the same time?
They were mixin up
my friends ask me to host minecraft once in a while. its quite nice because I'm making the server in my room more useful
Recently I was lazy so I port forwarded a lan world. The newest version lets you choice the port the lan world will be on.
There are also mods that effectively act as a reverse proxy when you click open to LAN so you don't have to port forward. I usually use e4mc
Yeah it works with IPv6, but my Vodafone router sucks ass, so I had to disable the firewall of the router all together
I have a Vodafone router, and disabling the firewall is neither required or a sensible thing to do
Guess I'm just too dumb to do it the right way. The option for IPv6 Host Exposure does nothing for me. Any advice? I put in my device with the right mac address select the port, open the port on my end (sudo ufw allow 4000) and then I check online and it doesn't work
Do you have a Minecraft server?
Not anymore.
It got exploded by creepers.
Aww man
That’s so ominous
I have 🤓
I sometimes do and sometimes don't, it's also modded in most cases
What your favorite 3 mods?
Usually just modpacks, but create is a great one. Also immersive engineering and hexcasting although i don't understand that one
My groups been enjoying pixelmon lately
If you're looking for a new one, I don't know where it stands, but I've heard that lemmy.world is starting one up.
I know that feeling :)
That's perfectly splendid!
