Hi Big3Force, have you tried the steps detailed here?

https://wiki.minetest.net/Setting_up_a_ ... to_connect

Specifically these steps:

Code: Select all

server_announce = true - makes Minetest tell the server list about the server.
server_name - set the value of this to your server's name.
server_description - set the value of this to a longer description describing your server.
server_address - if you have a domain name for your server, then set this to the domain name (how to get a domain name if you want one for your server).
server_url - if you have a website for your server, then set this to the website URL.

Your internal 192.x.x.x IP that you can use to jopin a server INSIDE your home network
IS NOT THAT one
that you have to tell in the config for mt settings, HERE you need the public one (or a way over like no-ip service)
AND so you need also a port forwarding on your router, that detect a port 3000x and forward it to the right 192.x.x.x address inside the home network.

I can't stress this enough: You don't need to set your IP in minetest.conf for server announcing, it will only bring trouble.

server_announce = true alone should be enough to have your server appear on the list.
If it doesn't that means the server list cannot reach you and you likely haven't forwarded the port on your router correctly.
