Re: I cant play minecraft servers.....and its only in arch.....

I cheated and abused my administrator rights.  You are hitting Arch Linux with an IPv6 address.  Generally, I would say that is great.
You might try Minecraft with an IPv4 address only.  It may be that your router is not configured for IPv6 correctly.  Maybe sometime in the last week your ISP enabled/changed your IPv6 configuration.

Reboot and change the kernel command line temporarily:

Re: I cant play minecraft servers.....and its only in arch.....

okay update......i did a thing which was... i went into gnome control center and then i went into my network configuration and i turned off my ipv6 and then tried it but didnt work but then i made it back to automatic and then tried it and for the first time i connected to pika.......and i could go.....but after i rebooted my system then i opened minecraft again and then it didnt work...i did the same method again but no luck..i enabled my ipv4.ip_forward but it still doesnt work..i think we might be on the right track...so what to do

Re: I cant play minecraft servers.....and its only in arch.....

We do need information in text format , not pictures .

IPv4 addresses looking like 192.168.x.y or 10.x.y.z are only valid within your own network and unreachable from outside of it.
For addresses starting with 172.16 upt0 172.31 the same applies .
Those addresses are private, not routable and obfuscating them is useless.

IPv6 network addresses starting with fe80 are  also not routable and there's no need to obfuscate them.

Other IPv6 addresses may be routable / findable, but blanking parts of them does make that impossible .

example

2a10:w:9ad:x:2110:y:61bc:z/64

That's the public ipv6 address of my desktop with 4 parts replaced by w,x,y,z .

Please post the output of the commands asked by scahrd using the above so you don't give away sensitive info but show us enough to troubleshoot .

Re: I cant play minecraft servers.....and its only in arch.....

okay if its really necessary...this is my ipv6 address replaced by w,x,y,z in the 4 parts but rest all is given and and i also do have a ipv6 network address with e80

Re: I cant play minecraft servers.....and its only in arch.....

Thanks, but we need more specific info.

run (as user)

$ ip address > forum1.txt
$ ip -4 route > forum2.txt
$ ip -6 route > forum3.txt

You can then edit the text files to obfuscate what is needed and post the contents .

Re: I cant play minecraft servers.....and its only in arch.....

actually i didnt get any outputs from that commands but i did cat forum1.txt and got the output....there is some sensitive so i replaced it with xyz......

there is no forum3 but i guess it gives out the ipv6 but its already in the forum 1

Re: I cant play minecraft servers.....and its only in arch.....

the > in those commands redirects the output to a file, that's why you see no output.

there is no forum3 but i guess it gives out the ipv6 but its already in the forum 1

That is important, are you sure ?

here's the output of that command for my desktop (my provider and modem/router fully support ipv6 ) .

$ ip -6 route
::1 dev lo proto kernel metric 256 pref medium
2a10:3781:9ad:1::/64 dev enp4s0 proto ra metric 1002 mtu 1492 pref medium

Re: I cant play minecraft servers.....and its only in arch.....

there was no output when i directed it towards the forum 3 but when i did ip -6 route i got this...

ip -6 route
::1 dev lo proto kernel metric 256 pref medium
2001:y:1737:x::1001 dev wlp2s0 proto kernel metric 600 pref medium

fe80::/64 dev wlp2s0 proto kernel metric 600 pref medium
default via fe80::e20e:e4ff:fe7c:7c30 dev wlp2s0 proto ra metric 600 pref medium

i havent blurred it out becuase you gave it so freely..so i am not scared anymore...thank you

That looks weird, as :: should be followed by network information and i've never seen a 1001 ipv6 network .
Please verify that line does have two double colons before the 1001 .

I think this thread is no longer appropriate for 'multimedia & games' and would benefit from being moved to Networking, Server, and Protection .
Milkyman, I suggest you use Report button to ask moderators to move this thread.

Re: I cant play minecraft servers.....and its only in arch.....

Not 100% sure it's related , but cloudflare DNS[1] uses network ::1001 for ipv6 .

What is the content of your /etc/resolv.conf ?

output of

$ drill -6 archlinux.org     #drill comes with ldns
$ drill -4 archlinux.org 

( ldns is much smaller then bind, and I prefer drill over dig )

also one more thing..doesnt a vpn change your ip so is there way to change it like that in arch...then maybe it would work...

Re: I cant play minecraft servers.....and its only in arch.....

A VPN sets up a special connection (very similar to a tunnel ) between your system and systems on the other end .
Without knowing the cause of the issue there's no way to predict if a vpn will solve it.

the drill outputs all look fine , so the problem is not with dns resolution .

Your ipv4 addresses and routing table are also very normal.

2001:y:1737:x::1001 dev wlp2s0 proto kernel metric 600 pref medium
2001:y:1737:x::/64 via fe80::e20e:e4ff:fe7c:7c30 dev wlp2s0 proto ra metric 600 pref medium

    inet6 2001:x:1737:y::z/128 scope global dynamic noprefixroute
       valid_lft 253530sec preferred_lft 167130sec
    inet6 2001:w:1737:z:9fea:x:5070:y/64 scope global dynamic noprefixroute
       valid_lft 2591584sec preferred_lft 604384sec

The ipv6 addresses and routes also look normal except the /128 address and 1001 route.
I don't know why they are there, hopefully others will.

You can still use the debian based distro that works for minecraft ?
If yes, boot it and post the output of

$ ip address
$ ip -4 route
$ ip -6 route

That will allow us to compare the addresses and routes between archlinux & debian .

Re: I cant play minecraft servers.....and its only in arch.....

i can use the debian distro...so wait..i will boot it up which will be linux mint and also i did say when i use a vpn i can play in the servers in arch...but it is very unefficient and laggy ...so i dont use it but is there a way to do it like a vpn or what a vpn does...could we mimick it in arch or whatever a vpn does we could do in arch...so let me go to linux mint....

Re: I cant play minecraft servers.....and its only in arch.....

so i booted into pop os cause linux mint had a kernel issue and i did the three commands..and i am no expert so you guys figure whats diffrent ....also the values which i replace with xyz down below...i had checked it and the number were the same in ip -6 route and in ip -4 route exept in the ip -4 route there was an extra line in pop which had the 169 line...so here you go

pop-os@pop-os:~$ ip -6 route
::1 dev lo proto kernel metric 256 pref medium
2001:y:1737:z::1001 dev wlp2s0 proto kernel metric 600 pref medium
2001:y:1737:z::/64 via fe80::x:e4ff:y:7c30 dev wlp2s0 proto ra metric 600 pref medium
fe80::/64 dev wlp2s0 proto kernel metric 600 pref medium
default via fe80::y:e4ff:x:7c30 dev wlp2s0 proto ra metric 600 pref medium

pop-os@pop-os:~$ ip -4 route
default via 192.168.y.x dev wlp2s0 proto dhcp metric 600 
169.254.0.0/16 dev wlp2s0 scope link metric 1000 
192.168.y.x/24 dev wlp2s0 proto kernel scope link src 192.168.y.x metric 600 
pop-os@pop-os:~$ 

pop-os@pop-os:~$ ip address
1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 65536 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN group default qlen 1000
    link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00
    inet 127.0.0.1/8 scope host lo
       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
    inet6 ::1/128 scope host 
       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
2: wlp2s0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc noqueue state UP group default qlen 1000
    link/ether e4:aa:y:b0:x:db brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
    inet 192.168.x.y/24 brd 192.168.y.x scope global dynamic noprefixroute wlp2s0
       valid_lft 86395sec preferred_lft 86395sec
    inet6 2001:y:1737:x::1001/128 scope global dynamic noprefixroute 
       valid_lft 259196sec preferred_lft 172796sec
    inet6 2001:8f8:1737:907:8231:beaf:2d1f:cfee/64 scope global temporary dynamic 
       valid_lft 604796sec preferred_lft 85996sec
    inet6 2001:x:1737:y:bdcf:39a9:28df:5335/64 scope global dynamic mngtmpaddr noprefixroute 
       valid_lft 2591997sec preferred_lft 604797sec
    inet6 fe80::db46:7802:6874:1009/64 scope link noprefixroute 
       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever

so one thing to note is that the ones which i replaced with xy is the same in both arch and debian but which i left is diffrent...and the vaild_lift is diffrent in debian and also the two inet6 with /64 is entirely diffrent in debian  so i didnt do anything but the rest all is same...so now what...
