I wanna make a server as close to vanilla mc as possible but my hardware is a bit limited, I'm running a Samsung a51 as my server.

What plugins give a mc like experience? And how do I make the server

Maybe it's best to give your ISP a call to see what are your options. Here in Croatia port forwarding won't work until you call them and tell them you want it, then they enable it.

You can then also ask them how to access your router. But usually you find your router's IP in your WiFi settings, enter that IP in your browser, and the password is usually printed on the bottom of the router. But check with your ISP.

If they say you can port forward, it means they've given you a unique public IP. That IP can be either static or dynamic. Both will work, it's just that the dynamic one will sometimes change and you'd have to send your friends the new one. You can always check your public IP by googling "what's my ip".

If you get a dynamic one and it changes too often for your convenience, there's a thing called "dynamic DNS" or DDNS. noip.com is a popular DDNS provider. It works by having an app that checks your IP every few minutes and sends it to noip. They issue you a host name, for example "mygreatservername.ddns.net" which always points to your current IP, and you give your friends that hostname.

This might be a bit overwhelming, so keep us updated with your progress and we'll help along the way.

So I'd need to use my primary router? I can't use Ethernet or the secondary router in my room?

Busy today but I'll ask my ISP customer service when I have a minute

Yes. To make sure a port forward works, you'll need, at minimum your primary router to forward the port. Depending on your network setup, you may also need to forward the port through each additional router that your Internet traffic goes through, before leaving your home network.

If you've gotten a port-forward/pinhole to work before for any previous old game, on that network, do exactly the same thing, again.

If not, any advice for your country and/or Internet provider, that you find about Minecraft: Java Edition, or really any older networked game, will apply to MineTest as well.
