i have i minecraft survival world but i want to invite worldwide friends to my world [duplicate]

Can anybody help me with this? I have some friends that are NOT local so a LAN world would not be able to reach them, so how would i do this i don't want to make a world wide server that anybody can join. I live in the northern part of the united state's, one of my friends lives in California and one lives in Australia. So how would i go about making a server that BOTH of them would be able to reach?!

Best Answer

You could make a whitelisted server.

You set up a server normally, but set white-list=true in your server.properties, then add only your friends' (and your own) usernames to the whitelist.

Only share the IP directly with your friends, don't post it on a website - people who aren't on the whitelist can't join anyway, but there's no reason to even let them try.

Downside: Every time a new player wants to join, you'll have to manually add them to the list of allowed players.

Upside: That means no one can ever join the server without your explicit permission.
