A checklist for the most common reasons a server works for you and not for your friends, from versions and modpacks to whitelists and new addresses.

View distance vs simulation distance

What each setting does, why turning them up costs so much more than it looks, and sensible values for small servers.

Letting Bedrock players join a Java server

How phones, tablets and Windows players can join a Java Edition server with Geyser and Floodgate, and what they need to know.

Moving your Minecraft world to a new host

What to download, how to zip it, and the one mistake that can quietly damage a world when you move it.
