    So, getting things out of the way, I'm an absolute newbie to how this works, and there are very likely huge gaps in my knowledge, so please do read this with the assumption that I know absolutely nothing about how things work.


    Me and my friend want to play long distance with each other. We both have Minecraft v1.16.201 downloaded on our iPhones.


    I read that creating an external server was the only way for us to play together so I created a server using Software Pocketmine-MP Version 3.17.3


    I tried Adding this Server in the Servers tab, but when I try to Join it, I keep getting the 'Unable to Connect to World' error message.


    How do I create an external server that me and my friend can join?

    Thanks!

    1. You should only use pocketmine if you really, really need plugins as its missing quite substantial ingame stuff like mobs, redstone and about a dozen other things. If you don't need plugins, use bedrock

    2. Did you enter the port shown on the website? The standart port 19132 wont work
