I've run a whole lot of Blockland servers off hardware servers and I've only ever seen them use 1 port each, it's considered extremely bad practice and completely pointless to listen on more than one except for the purpose of providing a different service on a different port. Most people forward a 7ish port buffer zone so if they for some reason restart their server multiple times very fast (before the port has a chance to close, they take like ~3 min after being disconnected from) the server can use the next port up for hosting off of.

Soo.. I don't understand. I used to do 28000-28020, change 20 to how many players an then people told me its just 28000 UDP and TCP so I was like oh okay and it worked fine.

You only need to forward a single UDP port.
There is no need to forward an array of ports or their TCP equivalents.

When I do the ipv4 thing it just messes up my network and then I have to remove all the things from the ipv4 address then my network starts working. Help?

Make sure you have a static IP and you edited your IPv4 properties in your network card.

You don't need a static ip and what the hell is a network card.
