How/Can I change a servers port?

[Phoenixstar117]

So I have been hosting a Minecraft Server for about a year now, and the port that I have been using is 57921. And in order to get another port forwarded it would cost me $20+/monthly. And in other words I cannot get the port "4242" forwarded on the server computer I use.

Is there a way to hack/change the port of a server?

I suggest editing your server batch file and and add to the end after -server:

-port:57921

Make sure to include the dash at the beginning. This worked for me and should work for you aswell.

Okay, where is this batch file?

Linux: StarMade-dedicated-server-linux.sh or MacOS: StarMade-dedicated-server-macosx.command


#!/bin/bash
cd \"$(dirname \"$0\")\"
java -Xms128m -Xmx1024m -jar StarMade.jar -server -port:57921


Windows: StarMade-dedicated-server-windows.bat


java -Xms512m -Xmx1024m -Xincgc -Xshareff -jar StarMade.jar -server -port:57921

you can change your starting port from 4242 to whatever in this tab right here:

... considering most servers are played online, and you\'d need to set the port in the server\'s configuration, not the client\'s configuration.

-port:8888 works like a charm within the .sh
