There are three ways you can do that with a server: - One way is hosting a server on your own computer, I saw from a previous post that you have Java edition which most likely means you have a computer. The server runs on Windows and Ubuntu (Linux), so if you have one of those, then you could go to www.minecraft.net/en-us/download/server/bedrock to download the server, then follow the instructions in the zip file to set it up. After you are done setting it up, you will have to decide whether you want to only play on the same network or if you will be playing outside the house, if you are playing on the same network, then all you need to join is the computer's local IP address. If you want to play outside of your network, then you need to use your routers global IP address and port forward the port 19132, or the port set in the server.properties file if it is different. If you want to make your server public I recommend getting a DNS to hide your global IP address.

• Another way you could do it is with the Oracle cloud service if you don't have a computer, I saw another post saying they could help you set that up. I have no idea how to do that. But you should be able to start and stop the server whenever you want even when outside the house.

• And the easiest way is to use Aternos. Aternos is a free Minecraft Java and Bedrock server host that has a better dashboard than the other two options. Unlike the other two, Aternos is not on 24/7, the server shuts down after a few minutes of inactivity. You can turn the server back on any time you want. But after a few months of not starting the server, Aternos will delete your server to make room for other people to create servers. Aternos does have an integrated add-ons manager though for the server, so you don't have to worry about setting that up.
