I just made a home server for Minecraft Bedrock. I fully set it up, and it works for me. I am playing on the same Wi-Fi as the server is connected to. I am attempting to have friends that are not connected to the same wifi connect to the server, to which they are met with “Incorrect Server Address” It claims the address is not properly formatted. They claim that it is and sent me photo proof that it is the same as my own. Is there something on my end, as the administrator of the server, that I need to do to allow them to join before they are able?
Reproduction Steps
Set up Minecraft Bedrock Server
Look at settings to see incompatible settings with more users
Did not find any settings to my knowledge that would impact players joining
I’ll admit that I am very new to this and do not fully understand it. I only put in the numbers and port that were given to me under the connection info on the status page of AMP.
If you’re looking at the panel in your local network, that’ll most likely be the local IP, which only people in your same network can use.
You’ll need to port forwrad the IP and port in your router, then give your friend the public IP.
With port forwarding, just google your router’s model plus “how to port forward”
For the public IP, google “what is my IP”
Following the port forward, is the primary endpoint, which has now changed, the connection information that I would give out? This information matches the reserved IP address that xfinity router has stated.
I attempted this using my phone on mobile data, and it still does not allow me to connect.
You would give out the public IP plus the port yeah, double check that you’ve port forwarded the Bedrock port (19132 UDP by default).
If that still doesn’t work, check to see if the WAN IP in your router starts with a 100 and see if it matches the public IP that google gave you.
Private IPs aren’t unique, so they don’t need to be censored. Public IPs also aren’t that sensitive as there isn’t much someone can do with one, but that’s more personal preference.
Yeah that doesn’t match the IP in AMP because AMP only really knows/cares about IPs that are “owned” by the machine that’s running AMP.
TL;DR, that’s normal and looks fine from what I can tell.
The port forward also looks to line up fine. Really odd overall.
