Multiplayer

Playing with Friends

Connect via Local LAN or use Tunnels for global playing.

Option 1: Local Network (LAN)

If your friends are in the same house (connected to the same Wi-Fi):

  1. Start your server from the dashboard.
  2. Look for the "Local IP" displayed in the dashboard header (e.g., 192.168.1.XX).
  3. Tell your friends to enter that IP in Minecraft > Multiplayer > Direct Connect.

Option 2: Internet (Tunneling)

If your friends are far away, you can use the built-in tunneling feature (Powered by Pinggy) without opening router ports.

  1. Go to the Network or Public tab in your server dashboard.
  2. Click "Start Tunnel".
  3. Wait a few seconds. A public address (e.g., tcp.pinggy.io:12345) will appear.
  4. Share this address with your friends.

Note: Free tunnels usually change their address every time you restart them. Make sure to send the new address to your friends each time.
