Reach MC server via IPv6
« on: April 30, 2015, 07:34:38 am »

As I have a IPv6 only internet provider and cannot reach MC when I'm on the road. This is bad.

Please add support for IPv6 so that I can reach MC from my phone!

Anyone else like to see IPv6 support?

+1 please...

MC shouldn't care about whether you use IPv6 or IPv4.  That's the job of the OS.

Please see the wiki topic called Network Access for other useful information.

Actually thats not true, Applications need to support IPv6 explicitly.

That's true, I suppose, if you're entering the IP address, but that's not usually needed, and it should just work with DNS.

Other than for Gizmo and JRemote, I can't think of a place where MC can use only an IP address.  Maybe the Access Key.  Ok, we'll take a look.

You should really take a look because MC is unreachable from the IPv6 world.
Even with the access key there is no way to reach MC behind a IPv6 router!
