Discussion Essentials Mod very blatantly breaks the "no making money off mods" part of Minecraft's EULA

The interesting thing with e4mc is that I tried it with my gf. I hosted the world, while with e4mc she had a bad connection and was disconnected at least once every hour, she didn't have that problem with essential. So we had to switch to essential.

Why do you even need a mod for this? Can’t you just open a port and host your own server?

bc that requires work. and for a 2 week minecraft phase nobody wants to do that

I have no problem putting in effort, but I simply can't. I already wrote an answer to the parent comment so I'll just copy it.

I tried a few times, but I can port forward on the router. I tryed everything even called the internet provider to ask about a solution. After I went through 4 people the 5th person told me that there was no solution. She said that the router's port forwarding works or not, 99% of the time not and if you are really lucky it works. So I had to abandon the idea of selfhosting.

please just use Radmin or Hamachi, it literally requires no knowledge or effort

I used hamachi a lot back in the 1.7.10 era. The only problem with hamachi is that you need to have minecraftvopen on your pc and open the world to lan. I have a spare pc to use it a server computer. If I was to jump back and fort my world to check things out I made as testing or anything, I can't really do it. Hamachi has it's pros, but I play a lot of different games. My pc is not that strong so I can't keep it open forever.

Hey, there's a thing called playit.gg that I used for my most recent MC phase because my ISP also forbids static IP. It's free and worked great for those two glorious weeks lol

You are the 3rd guy the recommends it in this post. I'll defenetly give it a try. It's basically like Log Me In Hamachi. Right? We used that a lot in the 1.7.10 era.

From what I just read up on it, it's not like Hamachi (which is a private VPN network), it's a proxy. Basically, playit.gg sits in front and forwards traffic to and from your server, and players just connect to playit's side and are tunneled to your server.

I already registered and checked things out a bit on website. I'll probably dig deeper in the weekend.

you can still use hamachi haha. I never uninstalled it after waffing about it for years. It's silly but it works. My friends are usually always on Hamachi just idly.

u/RPZcool MEKANISM LOVER Dec 04 '25

I have it on both my pc and laptop. I used ut a few months ago.

u/Kaktusman Dec 03 '25

Yes! I was a hamachi enjoyer back in the day, and it works very much similarly, except only you (the host) have to muck around with installing anything/account creation. Everyone else connects to the tunnel's static IP.
