FULL ROUTESafe hosting routineShow answer
  1. Choose the player most likely to attend future sessions as the original host.
  2. Let autosave complete before the host exits; avoid force-closing during a transition.
  3. For the next session, have the same host open the saved world first.
  4. Invite friends or share the current join code only after the world is active.
