To everyone talking about Aternos, you clearly weren't the guy in your friend group making every single multiplayer server, sometimes having to make multiple aternos account, hosting them, manually adding all the mods in there, waiting in queue for the server to start and AGGHHHHHH
I am this guy, and I have absolutely no problems with making servers, but I host them locally on my PC, soo
@@acerola0rion well yeah, but tou know... Checking the different mod versions, comparing what you have and what Aternos has, sometimes adding things to aternos manually, it's all such a headache
@@leritykay8911 why won't u host locally?
@@acerola0rion I don't know how, I'll just take the essentials mod
Aternos also has terrible performance
I like e4mc. It's a simple stand alone mod that doesn't add any other unnecessary things to your client like Essential does with it's store and paid cosmetics. Me and my IRL friend use e4mc often with no problems on our side.
So how do friends join the server, do they click on play multiplayer and click on direct connection and paste that link in IP address??
@@arhamahmedkhan7060 yup
@@arhamahmedkhan7060 Yes, you direct connect to the generated link that gets made when you open to lan
@@arhamahmedkhan7060 yes
Essential has a friend list so it’s still better
essential gaslighted people into thinking that it's the simplest way to play multiplayer lmao
it's literally easiest way after LAN world
Actually true lmao, bro has never heard of aternos
@@joshua21247 Aternos is wack from my experience, me and my friends was playing on the world for like 7 hours, we log off for the night and log on the next day then nothing saved.

love both your content and the community, presenting semi complex topics in a digestible way that i feel like no one else does and community providing corrections in case of any oversight 🙏 i hope your channel goes to the moon asap
I dare you to make my name span entire screen in the supporter credits next time
ive been watching your videos for months and only now after scrolling the comments realized theres a . in your sub count, i thought this was a 100k+ channel :0 your quality is insane and i hope you soon get the subs i thought you had!
Thank you so much! These comments make it all worth it
e4mc only adds what’s essential, unlike the essential mod.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
goat fr fr
True xD
Appart from the server hosting, what does essential add? Some kind of tf2 type of shit hat market or smth like that?
@@DatGuy12345 consmetics that cost real money. And you need to be over 13 to use the mod so they probably sell your data
I used E4MC with a modpack. I'm argentinian and the person I was playing with is from the US. Great ping and performance!
Sabes si funciona con gente no premium?

Finally, someone who puts a technical perspective into things like Minecraft. I love how you mentioned UDP and TCP. That's great content.
Fun fact. You can achieve similar results with Hamachi, a 20-year-old peer-to-peer tunneling program. But everybody involved needs it installed, and it limits your server size to the 5 people allowed on a free Hamachi network (probably--if you're going to pay a license you might as well get a proper server). And you have to connect to a private IPv4 instead of a domain.
Yeah I used it for many years until I started using "Radmin"
Its basically the same thing but without the limit
But after discovering e4mc I only use that its much more convenient for new friends
Aside from when Hamachi bugs out and the hell it is to uninstall, yes.
Radmin:

@@mystic-malevolence Hamachi's networks are limited to 5 people, when RadminVPN's are unlimited
hamachi is a very sus software despite reviews, dont trust it
How does this amazing guy doesn't have 100k subs at least by now, your content is AMAZING, and I really loved the technical stuff that happens in the background I learned new stuff today thanks to your video
These are some very kind words! Thank you so much!!!
@@Cygnus_MC you're very welcome ^^
Thanks for the deeper insight, Never knew it was still a server that it connects to, just a different method that seems to be more reliable than the alternative (essential, I have had quite a few problems in the past with network lag and the mod simply slowing down modpacks all-together, though that could be some slight user error perhaps but e4mc most of the time just works out of the box). I honestly don't have much problem with how the data is handled either, It works nearly flawlessly for a stable connection, so I will easily continue to use the mod and would even support the dev if I could. Thanks for the vid Lunar and gotta give thanks to Skye as well
Thanks for the technical breakdown. I had a friend ask me what the diffrence was and this is the perfect resonce. funny thing he asked maybe 2 months ago so about the time this was uploaded
A stand alone mod without the micro transactions? no way
Incredible review! I like how you deep-dived into how the servers and protocols work in the middle of the vid :P we need to bring even more attention to this mod
Thanks! And we do!
o hey it's my silly thing
thank you :3
@@doctaterror someone stinks
@@doctaterror ywabal
you will always be a loser ^^
Id like to thanks skye for showing me the people i need to hide from this channel.
Thank you very much for creating this mod, extremely appreciated
I pretty much only use Essential for its other features - private chat allowing you to share even screenshots in-game, but also the cosmetics and emotes because that's just fun even though I haven't paid for any myself (I know, it's a HOT take lol). Also the ability to change capes, skins or whole accounts on the fly is pretty important for me.
The fun social aspect is an important part of the mod 😅 (even though I wish they added at least some ways to earn the overpriced coins)
100%
Though, the cosmetic store still kinda rubs me the wrong way - the main reason why I use essential is just for the general QoL & social stuff - esp the screenshot manager and the skin changer. The UI is also p nice which is an added plus lol
@@bishan_8617 Yeah, I have a love-hate relationship with the store 😄 On one hand I would love to have more options to customise my game character like that, and cosmetics and emotes are just fun ways to do it. But I'm worried that if Mojang adds something like the marketplace to Java, they'd slowly start limiting what modders can do, just like they've done on Bedrock.
Plus microtransactions are just annoying. But considering that I paid like $15 for the game over 13 years ago and I still get all the updates, they'll probably try to squeeze more money out of people like me. The game has been an insanely good value so far 😅
... just realised that this comment doesn't really make a point. This kind of stuff may be fun, but cosmetics also often end up being used as status symbols. Nonetheless, the social features in the mod are just great haha
Man I love neat mods that add quality of existence
Great vid, downloaded the mod instantly after finishing it lol.
Great video Lunar. glad to hear you talking about e4mc. i love to watch your videos about modded minecraft. Unfortunately there are somethings that I strongly disagree with you, but that's fine, people are different and are meant to have different opinions / POVs about something. I continue to respect you regardless. I like your opinion about Neo Forge in general. Your videos are awesome. The unfortunate part of e4mc for me tho, is that I live in Brazil, while the relay server of the mod lies somewhere in Europe (i guess so, because of the eu part of the link) and I tried to play my kitchen sink modpack with a French friend and his ping with e4mc was around 4k, barely unplayable, while testing with a Brazilian friend, I got a 4 hundred ish ping. When testing connection via ipv6 where we don't need any mods nor third party softwares as Radmin or Hamachi, we got a ping of 28ms with my Brazilian friend, while using ngrok, my french friend got a stable ping of 218ms which is pretty much the average ping Brazil-Europe. Greetings from Brazil and keep the good content up
Hey sorry it took this long for a conclusion! For your case a mod like Worldhost or essential would be better
@@Cygnus_MC How does this World Host mod work? basically the same as Essential? gonna take a look on these later. The only thing that for me is not clear yet, even watching your video about essential is, is it malware, spyware or any of such? probably i'll use Essential for people with IPV4 with no port forwarding option and IPV6 if the person i'm playing with has the support for it. Anyway, thanks for the heart and like in my comment and a conclusion for it as well
haha 4k is nothing my ping reached 30k at max and me and my friend lives in the same country
@@monmaka likely disabled upnp
@@Cygnus_MC so my router doesn't allow upnp ?
thanks for telling me about e4mc! usually i do serverhosting manually but sometimes my friends throw together modpacks and i cant serverhost it so its nice that e4mc allows for such a thing to occur (i dislike essentials mod as it has alot of "bloat" aka cosmetics and chat that i just dont need or ever use)
I subscribed your Chanel because its a honest openian 💖
finally this awesome mod getting recognition
the only downside is that everyone is required to have a legitemate copy of minecraft
Question: Lunar pixel studios modpacks have Luna on them that make so u can share your world with others the same way that e4mc does it and they say on the luna mod page (curse forge) if we want an alternative world sharing mod we have e4mc and sky worked on Luna too it's on her projects so Luna world sharing and e4mc do the same thing?
I have some old hardware lying around that i could probably use to make a machine that will just run the relaying server. Considering its just, you know, relaying data, i dont think the machine itself needs to be particularly fast although i could be completely wrong.
I might finally be able to run a private SMP for like 15 people that i might wanna play with.
Yeee go nuts!
I just switched to Lodestone for my server setup, although I do have another computer for hosting it in my house.
YESS I USED THIS MOD ONCE WITH MY FRIENDS AND IT ACTUALLY WORKED GREAT
I used e4mc to play with my girlfriend in 1.20.1 it worked pretty well but recently we moved to 1.21 but until today there wasn't a version for 1.21 so we started using essential and it really is not at all intrusive if you just ignore all of the junk and tweak some of the settings, it is also basically lag-free unlike e4mc for me personally :P
check the 5.1.0 version
1.21 is working fine now
@@opintoso Yeah there wasn't a 1.21 version when we updated to 1.21 I know theres one now but I'm fine using Essential
we learning internet protocols with this one 🔥
Wow I've seen e4mc in fabulously optimized but I didn’t know it was used for online multiplayer (I never looked into it) I used the essential mod with my friend and I don’t like the shop aspect. This is great
Been waiting for this since the essential video
I think what would make this mod even better is if it had a guide to setting up your own server, and a way inside the game to choose an up you want to use and a way to upload that in a mofpsck
Defo gonna come to this video when I cba with server payments... Nice one!
Wow i didnt know this mod existed, now im gonna do allota of things with it Thanks for letting me know it
I tried it for the first time exacly today, even i knew about it for years, my friend asked if we could play together and i gave it a try, 30 seconds downloading and moving it to my mods folder, and he imediatly joined, god i used to spend hours setting up Hamachi server and port fowarding, the 11 yo me in 2011 would've lost his mind 😂
Nice video man. This is my go to mod, if I want to test something and don't want to set up a server on my dedi
WHY HAVE I NEVER HEARD OF THIS BEFORE 😭
I would recommend writing down (no port fowarding) would get more views
Interesting... I'll definitely try it out!
Is there something like e4mc but on lower versions than 1.17? Like 1.12.2 / 1.7 / 1.8
(if possible supports cracked players)
Essential supports lower versions
I've been using e4mc since its release, and have loved it way more than essentials. Some mods are incompatible with it sadly, like the Simple Voice Chat mod, but in terms of stability and lag, its the best (non payed server) option out there. Easily better than aternos at least.
Essential is basically bedrock for java
This is a great way of putting it
you should make a tutorial on how to set it up with oracle as you described
Hmmm mayhaps
I once tried to use it, but it charged me the "verification fee", the server creation process got stuck and the server didn't create and I didn't get the refund...
It would be nice to see a tutorial from Cygnus, im interested to learn how to setup in oracle
@@Cygnus_MC if u do pls add a part on how to make sure u don't get charged money because apparently there's no switch that just keeps u in the free tier? idk how it works lol
Can you use it with cracked Minecraft???
That easy? What a cool mod. Nice to know I have options.
what a lovely mod! sure hope downloading it causes a scp like entity to become attached to me to the point where they abduct me as well as multiple other children
thank you so much for sharing :D me and my friends were using a sketch af vpn before
Great video as always, but could you explain the difference between e4mc and Lan Server Properties? Do they work the same way (apart from e4mc's public domain)?
Yep basically the same. Because minecraft singleplayer is just a server in itself all e4 needs to do is connect you to others
Epic video 😎
Check out world host mod as well. It also lets you play multiplayer really easily from your single player world.
Up next :3
e4mc reminds me of when i used to use a vpn to connect with friends, then i just hosted to lan
Geez this guy billydabongo made a video just like this today!!??
Figura + e4MC is basically Essentials but no store and bullshit-less
Figura is so underrated
What’s Figura?
@@Essentialanimations Allows to make yout own 3d models for the player
Time to remove essential
How much processing power does it take to run a server by yourself? If it isn't too demanding, a mod could maybe host the server on your computer while also using the open source e4mc to get your friend to connect to it all in one?
Thats what your already doing with a singleplayer session. E4 just opens it upto others. Tho servers use around 4-6gb of ram*
@@Cygnus_MC But it's connected to a relay server who sky has right? Or is it just a one time connection to the relay server and then you can play Minecraft without any outside servers?
Also, you're only sending little packets of information like where the player is in the world and what they're doing and what's going on with the world. Wouldn't a server that isn't too big be fine anyway? Also thanks for responding, I appreciate it :D
Hey, great video. Super informative, and e4mc works wonder for my modded server. However, I can´t seem to find out how to install datapacks. I run minecraft through the Prism Launcher and I can´t seem to find the server settings folder
i still prefer essentials, theres the chat, zoom, chat peak(though no one uses), and cosmetics are decently cool, and u can cheat with a special version
ty I can play wit my friends now
Someone remembers Radmin VPN? Its exist, if you don't know
Finally what the people needed and WANTED, goated dev. One question, since the server acts like a lan-ish one, it can not be modified whit pluggins or datapacks right? Like when u make a dedicated server vía console which does backups of the world and all of that.
Oh u can just have a mod installed no worries. Even datapacks should work. And if u install a backup mod to your game it should work too
@@Cygnus_MC Nicee, thank You for answering
Quick question is that is the server still open if you close your computer?
So what is the difference between downloading this mod and downloading the server jar from Mojang? Other than being more complex to set up the server jar, is there any other differences?
Nothing much other then with a server u need to portforward
The mod is good, but essential is probably better for server-side mods because essential automatically deals with the mods. e4mc starts a external server that you can’t change the allocated amount of ram on and can’t make modded servers. Essential is better for mod packs but if you just want to play with your friends, use e4mc. (and also you need like a super computer anyway with 32-64gbs of ram if you wanna run a modded server.)
HALF OF THIS IS MY OPINION ON HOW IT WORKS, DON’T EXPECT IT TO BE ACCURATE
thats not how the mod works... the mod just binds your ip to a public domain to which anyone can connect, works the same as essentials or joining by lan
@@SanekGamer007 oh ok, but the server is still made by the creator with the creator’s resources.
All this comment was just addressing how mods probably work better with essential.
"you can’t change the allocated amount of ram"
if the mod is running on ur client and you are the server, then increasing the ram of your client = increasing the server ram (just like any modpack? lol)
"but the server is still made by the creator with the creator’s resources"
do you think when you open your server with essentials you are using resources from where?
it is from your own machine, just like with e4mc
"essential automatically deals with the mods"
are you talking about mods that are specifically for servers like voice-chat etc? its nice that essentials knows how to handle/trick this, but its more of a limitation of the mod not checking if the client opened a "lan" server
despite it being specific depending on the mod, its a positive point for essentials anyway
(not everyone is like me who will edit a line of code in the mod to make it work, u have a point)
"you need like a supercomputer anyway with 32-64GBs of ram"
if the modpack is REALLYYYYYYYYYYYY heavy, you might need that much ram, regardless of using essentials or e4mc
maybe with e4mc you need less because your client won't have to load the store, paid cosmetics, etc from essentials
or do you think essentials give you a 32gb free server so you dont use resources from your own computer? lol
@@opintosoScaling the ram makes sense because you’re running the server on the client, but could affect performance in some cases. With essentials, you are making a server with your own computer, and connecting it to a server to allow your friends to join, e4mc (I think) makes the world work on the creator’s servers and give an IP to give out, but still storing the world on your disk. When I meant mods, I meant modpacks, its really easy to add essential to your modpack to make a client server for your friends, with e4mc, it doesn’t seem like it can deal with server-side mods that both the server and client requires, not voice chat mod porting. I didn’t mean supercomputer by system specs but overall ram, ram is really important for servers because there is a lot of temporary data for both Minecraft, mods and the server, however CPU is still important for the server to run fast and not crash.
This comment was mostly talking about how server-side mods would work with e4mc and not all of the maybe wrong things I’ve said.
There's also World Host, btw

@@Cygnus_MC yippeee!!
Something seems off here, "curseforge monetization covers the operating costs", this seems unlikely as she's relaying the entire player-server connection. Curseforge must be paying well if she isn't even trying to establish a direct connection. Also she claims she is 16 on her website. She's an impressive software engineer for 16.
Quic relay servers can be hosted pretty cheaply as she isnt doing anything hostingwise. She has 2 servers, one in the US anf one in the Eu. U can get those for about 12 bucks a month, meaning all she needs to make is 24 bucks a month. Software wise its not the most complex of the three options. All it does it reroute you via one of her quickservers. Impressive but not impossible
@@Cygnus_MC yeah I looked into it more and I was wrong, she's legit. Although I'd still bet she's running it at a loss. Not a great solution and not a great business plan, but an impressive kid.
@AlexanderjFraser1 i did ask her directly like "whats the plan when you cant sustain it anymore" but to her this is more a passionproject then a business. And cuz its open source eventually if she quits you can just continue without her servers
FOSS❤️🔥
I only use Essential instead because my friend that I play with mainly uses Discord on his phone, not his computer since he doesn’t have a working mic on his pc, so It’s a bit of a pain if I’m hosting the world, because he then has to either open Discord on his pc or MANUALLY COPY the code to Minecraft, and with only one monitor opening Discord can be a bit of a pain for him.
Your friend might want to use ' WO Mic ', it allows you to use your phone's microphone on a computer and it's relatively easy to set up :)
@@siIlygoober. Thank you! We’ll try it!
@@cvdusey Aye, let me know if it works!
So how do friends join the server, do they click on play multiplayer and click on direct connection and paste that link in IP address??
Yes
Nice, this help me to play with a friend, but other friend can't join because he plays on cracked. Is there a way to allow it to join?
dude making servers is so easy
all you gotta do is js port forward on your pc and on your router, then start up server.jar
literally so easy just double click server.jar, change eula to true, then double click server.jar again
BOOM
port forwarding is not that easy sometimes and it is not available for some people

Ty, now i can be happy
hey i added this mod but when my bro try to join me it wont connect at all for some reason, do he need to be on fabric to or it dont matter?

@@Mayxrealhow did you get it to work i cant it says disconected
Oh wow, very generous of her to just provide those servers for free to everyone :D
E4mc runs really bad if youre away from its servers because it uses a technique called relaying to do the easy multiplayer, so unless youre from the north side of the world, yeah, dont bother.
I prefer mod that does nat traversing like essential but I prefer to use something more expert in nat traversing like Tailscale or even better, just forward a port in my nat.
But of course if I tell you that it’s all because of ipv6 was not invented from the start and so we created all those Nat craps like an old dirty patch. (Why can’t we have nice things….)
Simple voicechat works with this mod? Does it automatically configure itself to the port of the server??
just wanted to make sure both e4mc and essential need you(the host) to be on the server for your friends to join correct?
They do yes
whell if you open a server to LAN anyone can join in local network if you apply it to startup then you got it?
Quastion
Can I play modded with this thing? Like add other server-side mods?
Even client sided mods should work but yes!
essential has a player cap, how many players are supported on this?
I believe its unlimeted
Is there something like e4mc but on lower versions than 1.17? Like 1.12.2 / 1.7 / 1.8
what exactly am I supposed to change in the original e4mc code to make my own version?
I use e4mc, previously the address was in the Singapore area and the ping was good but suddenly the address has changed to the Americas area which makes my world ping high, how do I handle it?
I assume this only works when the surver owner has the world in question open?
Yes
Title rhymes
make a video on prismlauncher
You should review the world host mod. Clean no micro transactions and you can invite friends like Xbox
Next up on the block!
Another plus:Works on cracked accounts.
how?
Can the people not running the server join it without you? I imagine not
But what if i have client sided mods like connectable chains for examples. Will it work the same for my friends, or do they need to also have that mod installed?
Same mod
Everyone will need the same mods installed. It’s basically the same as connecting to a normal server.
Hey Nice people, i need some help. I installed the mod and, well, it works, kinda. I mean, My friend can join my world with no problem if i have no mods, but the moment it does, the program asks him to download the same mods i have. Wasn't E4mc meant to help us with that? Or i'm i doing something wrong? Please help, i want to play with them but their computer cannot handle too many mods
can someone give a reason people dont like essential? apart from the store, if the store is an issue just dont use it. you are in control of your own actions arent you???? honestly i like the wardrobe, i have spent nothing and get some cool emotes and accessories
For some the existance of a store to begin with is a nog go. Especially because its a minecraft mod.
Tailscale does exist.
Question does it leave the server open after you leave it?
This sounds great but I don't have any friends 💀
all my friends are... well they've been split from me. and there's very few people I *can* make friends with because im stuck in this desolate place that's full of apathetic disinterested people, who obviously dont care about me at all. meanwhile any potential friend is out there but im not allowed to leave and see them, but I managed to secretly keep in contact with some people and i use the essentials mod to play with the few people I can secretly keep as my friends. having any form of fun or contentness is equally as hard as smuggling drugs in this place. but jumping into minecraft and just expressing myself there and desperately trying to stay in touch with friends while the desolation tries to separate us is one of my escapes from this issue
can you make a video about how to open this with my own server? don't quite understand how to do it, thx.
Just install this mod on your Minecraft client, open a world, press the “Open to lan” button and people can join you.
@@samuelhulme8347 he mentioned that you can use your own server to host e4mc in the video which is something i really want to know how
All of my mods are in 1.7.10
But e4mc doesn’t have that as an option
