Side Notes

• The default port used to connect to the host is 8469
• This means that the host must port forward the port 8469 for others to be able to connect to the game.
  • You can follow this Minecraft port forwarding tutorial if you have no idea how to do that, just remember to use the port 8469. Please note that we use TCP - not UDP, so you only need to open the ports for TCP.
