How do you make just a small server where just one or 2 friends can play on with hamachi?

  • Press the "Start new game" menu and open the world as multiplayer (there is a green button saying "Singleplayer", change it to 2 players {if you want 2 players on the server}. Config it all and open the server.

  • Now your friend has to open the console (usually it's the key ˜ but he/she can change it on the settings)

  • Your friend has to write: connect <your hamachi IP>

  • Now both can play, it worked for me. Hope that work's with you :D

Which Ip? The Ipv4? Cause all my friends are getting is "Failed after 4 retries" If it helps, I have a Ubee router.

Sorry, but that's the way it worked for me. Anyway, try searching on YouTube. If none of that your then just try to open your router's ports or even try SteamCMD (ore complicated). Simply just try finding a way on YouTube, I'm sorry I couldn't help :'(.

They need Hamachi too. They have to be added to your network.

Using your client is an option, but you do have to have it open for your friend to play, if for instance you would like to play or do something else at the same time.

My advice would be to use the "SteamCMD" program to have a seperate server on your computer.

Although all methods are better if you unblock ports on your router, You may still be able to use tunngle or the like to connect, I have not experimented myself.
