I have a local minecraft server on my laptop and am wondering if the screen has to be on for the server to stay on. Can someone please tell me?
As long as the computer is on and has an Internet connection, the server is also on.
The screen doesn't matter.
But make sure that a laptop is often in standby! Then the server is also off.
When your laptop goes into standby, the server is off. I can't really recommend using your IP address to set up a server.
Thank you
Thank you
If your server is running on the console, everything should work, even if your device is in stand-by mode.
Why not?
Nonsense…
What exactly is nonsense?!
I myself have a server that runs on the console. Even if my Mac is off or in sleep mode, the server continues to run.
That a server stays on when the same computer is in standby…
That Can't be, because the server can only run if the computer is running on which the server was started…
if you started your server on a different computer than the one you are playing on, then that's clear, the server will continue to run…
but this is about a local server that is running on the computer that is also being played…
Because then everyone has your IP address and you can DDOS.
Aha, everyone… How many will that be?
I run about 4 servers privately - including Minecraft and have NEVER had anyone who wanted me to Dose - because that's only done by children who otherwise have no interests and can't differentiate themselves…
Above all, rented VMs are not protected against DDoS either - did that occur to you?
In addition, you can prosecute the person who instigates the DDos and then he has long problems if he wants to do a good job… (and wants to earn money with it)
If something like that happens, it's just annoying and doesn't have to be. It is also not recommended to you.
You just restart your router and the problem is gone - is that a problem?
I understand what this is about. And I myself have a server that runs on my terminal - and also in standby.
The server does not run on your computer, but you connect there with Putty…
No, actually not. My terminal runs on my iMac and all server members can play on it without any problems, even while my PC is in standby mode.
I don't think so, maybe only your screen is off, but a server can only run if the operating system is running…
Otherwise billions of other hosters would do something wrong…
