Please answer my question: Did you configure your router properly?

Expand

and below i attached the debug logs

2019-07-13-4.log.gzFetching info... 2019-07-13-5.log.gzFetching info...

You are running this server on your home internet connection, right? Normal home routers have a firewall and NAT (when using ipv4) built in, so that no connections can be made from the outside. You need to configure your router to allow people to connect to your server.

Expand  

so i just disable my firewall?

coz if thats the problem im not sure how im ment to configure it properly

No, do not just disable it.

There are plenty of instructions on how to host your own server.

Expand  

the thing is is that it worked yesturday but the mods wont loading now that i fixed that issue no1 can join my server anymore

Why are you just now providing this information?

Again: You need to post the debug.log (not some other log!) from your server and the client that cannot connect. You do not need to post screenshots or any other logs.

Expand  

it doesn't let me post the debug.log it just says " -200 " and i still dont understand what you mean by client that cannot connect

thats what it says when i try to upload the log

Did you set up port forwarding for your server?

1. You can use https://gist.github.com/ or similar services to post large text files.
2. The "client that cannot connect" is, well, the client that cannot connect to your server. You said there are multiple people trying to connect, but it does not work for them. Post either of their debug.log files as well.

Expand  

https://gist.github.com/itzDawid/dd3c6e74db8fa380c90cff6dd80100a6 here is the link to the dubug and unfortunatly non of the poeple that are trying to join are currently online and arent able to come on at this time

That does not look like the whole log, or you did not let the server start up all the way...

 

Expand  

oh, i have updated it an put the whole log in

[itzdawid]

  On 7/13/2019 at 5:37 PM, diesieben07 said:

From the log it looks like nobody is even attempting to join as far as the server is concerned. So yeah, we need those client logs.

Expand  

can i just try and join using my public ip and just update the logs?

because i can join using my ipv4 but not my public ip

This just screams that your router is not configured properly.

But you said it worked before... are you 100% about that?

Expand  

yes i am 200% sure it worked before, but what specificaly do i have to configure in my router might aswell test some stuff

You have to tell your router to forward the Minecraft port to your PC.

Expand  

would that be under one of these?

I am not going to explain to you how to configure your router.

This can in theory have security impacts. If you do not know what you are doing, you should not be touching these settings and just get a hosted server.

Expand  

is there any other way then i could host a server or allow my friends to join my world?

Expand  

Yes, buy a pre-configured host or learn/inform yourself as to how port-forwarding works and how to prevent security compromises.

 

Perhaps if you still encounter this issue, I am more than happy to provide my competence to help you via PM
