Port forward for Minecraft server 25565

Hello, I wanted to open port 25565 to play Minecraft with friends, I’m a complete zero in the field of networks, but I want to play with friends, I tried through the port forwarding menu, but when checking through the website it said that the port was closed. Tell me please what can be done to fix this problem.

Port mapping has nothing to do with this.

The second result for “port forward” in the docs is this: https://help.mikrotik.com/docs/display/RKB/Port+forwarding

Does your router get a public IP or a private IP from the ISP device? If its a private IP, can you at least forward a port from the ISP router/modem to your router.

@s0und2019: Are you running your own Minecraft server and want to open an “incoming” port for your friends to connect to?

Otherwise, you don’t need to do anything if you’re connecting to someone else’s server..
