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
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
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 ^^
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?
@@ivinnium Si funciona
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
Finally, someone who puts a technical perspective into things like Minecraft. I love how you mentioned UDP and TCP. That's great content.
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
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
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:
ZeroTier:
@@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
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
o hey it's my silly thing
thank you :3

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
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!
A stand alone mod without the micro transactions? no way
Man I love neat mods that add quality of existence
Great vid, downloaded the mod instantly after finishing it lol.
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)
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 ?
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
I just switched to Lodestone for my server setup, although I do have another computer for hosting it in my house.
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 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
YESS I USED THIS MOD ONCE WITH MY FRIENDS AND IT ACTUALLY WORKED GREAT
we learning internet protocols with this one 🔥
Wow i didnt know this mod existed, now im gonna do allota of things with it Thanks for letting me know it
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?
Defo gonna come to this video when I cba with server payments... Nice 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
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
Interesting... I'll definitely try it out!
Been waiting for this since the essential video
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
WHY HAVE I NEVER HEARD OF THIS BEFORE 😭
Can you use it with cracked Minecraft???
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 😂
Essential is basically bedrock for java
This is a great way of putting it
That easy? What a cool mod. Nice to know I have options.
I would recommend writing down (no port fowarding) would get more views
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
Check out world host mod as well. It also lets you play multiplayer really easily from your single player world.
Up next :3
thank you so much for sharing :D me and my friends were using a sketch af vpn before
e4mc reminds me of when i used to use a vpn to connect with friends, then i just hosted to lan
Time to remove essential
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
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
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?
Quick question is that is the server still open if you close your computer?
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?
Geez this guy billydabongo made a video just like this today!!??
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
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
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
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!
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.
Simple voicechat works with this mod? Does it automatically configure itself to the port of the server??
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
I think I'm too dumb, i still dont get it how to make it work I'm so miserable
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
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
what exactly am I supposed to change in the original e4mc code to make my own version?
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
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
Someone help, when 1 friend plays w me its alright but if 3rd player joins he disconnects
no matter who joined 3rd they all get disconnected
Epic video 😎
ty I can play wit my friends now
I click the link but it just doesn't do anything ?
There's also World Host, btw
Up next
@@Cygnus_MC yippeee!!
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
All of my mods are in 1.7.10
But e4mc doesn’t have that as an option
Is there something like e4mc but on lower versions than 1.17? Like 1.12.2 / 1.7 / 1.8
Someone remembers Radmin VPN? Its exist, if you don't know
I assume this only works when the surver owner has the world in question open?
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?
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.
I wish this worked with neoforge i tried to use it and it didnt work for me since i want to play on all the mods 10
do we need to instal the same mods of it does it for us
Oh wow, very generous of her to just provide those servers for free to everyone :D
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.
whell if you open a server to LAN anyone can join in local network if you apply it to startup then you got it?
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
essential has a player cap, how many players are supported on this?
I believe its unlimeted
Can the people not running the server join it without you? I imagine not
Can we do that if we both have a cracked version
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
does it work if my friend he is on cracked version but me in legal version
Tried to use this after hearing it works with cracked
AND NO IT DOES NOT LOL
It litteraly crashes my game everytime I add the mod in the mods folder,on any mod loader.
@@Mazkon780 odd that it crashes. Shouldnt do that, it doesnt work with cracked
@@Cygnus_MC figured as much already.
i want to use it so badly but it doesn't support cracked accounts (they can't join the server)
It does
@@godnt3995 i mean cracked accounts can't join, but they can create servers
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.
Question does it leave the server open after you leave it?
AND you need to own minecraft to use essential so e4mc is cracked which makes it better
Idk i dont liked cracked minecraft to begin with
@@Cygnus_MC ehh thats the only thing i can use for now
@@Mayxrealbuy it from eneba bro I got it for 4 dollars
@@Mayxrealhow did you get it to work i cant it says disconected
honastly by the time I install a mod i might as well just create a port forwarding and host a lan world.
Ty, now i can be happy
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….)
Quastion
Can I play modded with this thing? Like add other server-side mods?
Even client sided mods should work but yes!
so can i have mods with e4mc as well or do they have to install the mods?
It’s basically the same as connecting to a normal server, except the server is the host computer. Everyone will need the same mod loader version and the same mod versions.
