How do i create a internet server?

[Mrpotatohead34]

Port forwarding is perfectally safe.

When attempting to host (with a router) you have to use one of two options.
1) Port forward - This still works no matter what people say.
2) Enable UPnP - Sometimes this is enabled by default, sometimes it isn't.
If you do neither of these, the chances are nobody will be able to connect to your server.

I would suggest asking one of your friends if they can connect to your server before assuming you have done it wrong/it doesn't work.

Yes, i understand everything you guys are saying, but like literally how do i have the server up? is there like a instructional video? if there isnt, what port forward do i use?

If you go on the website previously mentioned (www.portforward.com) they have nice guides on how to set up port forwarding in routers; however if you wish to enable UPnP (in my oppinion the better option)... you need to access your router's page and find the Enable UPnP option, which is usually a radial button.

It seems pretty difficult, will i have to do it all the time?

Should just have to do it once then you can host a server by just starting it in blockland.

I see, i visited port forward but there are literally thousands of them! which one do you use?

[zenloth]

You need to select the one which relates to your router make/model.

so those are the names, or model number of the router?

open a second blockland then find your server look at ping, join it then yes it work but as of v14 you do not need to port foward it just gives you a ping some people can not join server without a ping(me) but if i do it is laggy andi have to dissconnect

Please don't help if you don't know what you are talking about; you will end up confusing the person in need of help.
1) Opening a second blockland and viewing the ping will provide in-accurate results; ping is relative and the time it takes to get from one client on your computer to another client on the same computer should be minimal. You may also find that if you can join via LAN, people on the interwebs still cannot join as I believe it uses a different connection style.
2) You need to port forward or have UPnP enabled to be able to host, it's not optional (for a huge majority of network setups).

so those are the names, or model number of the router?

Yes.

Just an expansion on one of my previous points - If you enable UPnP, you will only be required to do it once. If you Port Forward, you may be required to do it more than once if your computer has a Dynamic IP.

1. A server can't be a ping.
2. Go to this page http://blockland.us/portforward/index.html and follow the instructions. If you cant figure out how do this, you wont really even be able to host.

Ok, i got to step 1B, but i cant get the password/username working!

You need to know your modem/router model. Badspot used the username and password of the most common router.

i do know it, but it doesnt work

If the router's default username/password setup doesn't work (all default configurations are on portforward.com) someone has changed the username/password; ask your parents.
