Known Limitations
A phone can host a Minecraft server, but Android and mobile networks have real limits.
Android may stop or throttle the server when the app is backgrounded.
Large worlds, many players, or heavy plugins may be too demanding for phone hardware.
Remote access depends on your network, router, carrier NAT, and tunnel provider.
Long sessions can drain battery and warm the device, so plugged-in hosting is recommended.
A desktop machine or VPS is still better for public, always-on, high-traffic servers.
