Hello guys i'm Wafflez (nooby name) Im new to this game and was wondering if anyone would want to play a server with me. But i dont know how to make a server public. If anyone responds to this thanks SO much!




Your friend,
Waffelz!

To make a server public:
1: Go to your router settings and make sure port 30000 (or whatever port you're actually using) is forwarded to your computer
2: Decide whether you want to run the server from the GUI or from the CLI. GUI is easier but it only runs when you are logged in.
If GUI:
3: Go to the "Advanced" tab. Leave the host name blank. Check the "public" checkbox. Done.
If CLI:
3: make a copy of minetest.conf (I call mine server.conf)
4: Edit server.conf so that server_announce = 1
5: (optional) Continue editing server.conf, adding the fields server_name and server_description
6: run "minetestserver --config <full path to server.conf> --gameid minetest --worldname <name of your map>"

Ok, thanks SO much!
