So I'll fill you in a bit. I take it must be unconventional not to ask for help within dedicated minecraft forums and the like, but I swear at least to me this issue is so obtuse I figured I'd go to places were people might know even more about the hardware, software and networking itself that goes into this. Also similar reported "bugs" in the official minecraft website are locked and abandoned as solved and I have no idea why- it doesn't help that the error messages the game provides are lacking and vague.
Hosting a server from your own pc seems relatively straightforward, I've tried with Java 17 and 18 installed, I've set up the port forwarding with my router, done all I can imagine with the firewall, restarted every machine and command-prompt flushed DNS business, and I even borrowed a newer router from a friend set up all the same.
What happens is simple, friends connecting gets timed out seconds into it, and experiences what sounds like a serious case of lag. "internal exception java.net.socketexception connection reset" I did some browsing on the internet and the interesting thing is that it sounds like people keep finding solutions to it, all wildly different, but each which break again after a short while. Most people seem to settle on using a VPN to mysteriously stabilize something in the aether or please an elder god. IP related questions I take it. I'm not really feeling a monthly subscription for something that worked flawlessly some years back (I suspect... Java 16 and Minecraft 1.15?) Some out there are speculating that the ISP itself is to blame, that packets of data gets dropped randomly and I heard them describe it as an ebb and flow from day to day how serious this is. This.. is pretty much on the serious side, and I doubt it's entirely normal since other games and functions of my internet connection doesn't seem to be having the same kind of existential crisis. It's a very consistent pattern is all. It seems to start failing to send packages immediately. It's just bizarre the way it targets a minecraft server specifically, be it Java reasons or something else.
A thing I've started wondering about is the fact that I live in an apartment and I stick my router directly into the wall, no modem. This has never been an issue before, I've ran servers like this before, which is why it isn't immediately apparent to me what's going wrong. I think I read that apartments usually have a communal kind of internet or however that magic works. All and all I'm stumped as to what could have possibly changed from prior years to now, be it Java itself, minecraft, or something with my ISP.
In any case. If a networking/software genius out there can give some advice I'd be very grateful. This is an invisible curse.
