I am using the modpack "Roguelike Adventures and Dungeons" through Twitch.
I previously ran a server on this modpack and my friends were able to join with no issues. This was in a different household, and it doesn't work anymore. The server will run and I can play on it alone by connecting with 'localhost', but nobody else can join. I have done the necessary port forwarding and to my knowledge it should be correct. http://www.portchecktool.com/ says the service is running on port 25565 (which I have my server set to). I have ensured that I am sending my friends the local ip and not my ipv4, and that it is the correct address.
Some fixes I have tried that didn't help:
- Allowing Java through the firewall, or disabling the firewall entirely
- Changing ip in server properties to both local and ipv4 addresses (and leaving it blank)
- Changing port in server properties (25566)
- Disabling port forwarding profile and using DMZ to port instead
I have been working at this for hours and nothing seems to work. I've looked everywhere I can, tried every fix I could find online and I'm completely out of ideas. The server is running on MC 1.12.2
Localhost basically means "this computer." When your friends attempt connection to localhost, they are connecting to their own computer's non-existent minecraft server rather than yours.

Yes, I know. Only I am connecting with localhost, I send everyone else the ip I get from here https://whatsmyip.com/
If that's not called the local ip then my bad, I don't really know this stuff well.
