ws://your-server-ip:8081 (Use wss:// for HTTPS with SSL) Forward port 8081 (TCP) on your router, and optionally port 80 / 443 for a reverse proxy. Pros & Cons – Quick Review | Pros | Cons | |------|------| | ✅ Works in any browser | ❌ No official plugin API (limited mods) | | ✅ No Java install for players | ❌ Slower than real Minecraft | | ✅ Lightweight | ❌ Some redstone / entity bugs | | ✅ Free hosting possible | ❌ Small community | Final Verdict: ★★★☆☆ (3/5) Make a server if: You want to play with friends who can’t install Minecraft, or you’re teaching coding / networking basics.

You need full Bukkit plugins, large player counts (>20), or perfect vanilla accuracy. Tip for beginners: Use the singleplayer “Open to LAN” feature first (it works with Eaglercraft if all players are on the same Wi-Fi). Then try the official server for over-the-internet play.
