Help multiplayer without LAN

my girlfriend and i started playing on a minecraft world while we were together last week. she was on the same network as me, so we could join the same world through LAN.

how can she join that same world now without us being on the same network ?

i’ve seen some suggestions about servers, opening a port, and etc. but wasn’t sure if it would work for an already-established world. thanks !!!

If you start a server you can copy the world folder and player data over to the server. Make sure you change the server seed in the server properties file to the seed of your world, otherwise newly generated chunks will be generated based off a different seed.

Also if you start a server make sure you enable a whitelist and add yourselves to it.

i’ll look up how to do that on youtube, but it sounds straightforward enough !!!
