    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

    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
