Can anyone please walk me through when I'm supposed to do to get a
Minecraft server (java) tunnelled to the IP with telebit? Any and all
help of clarifying what I'm supposed to do is appreciated!

so using Telebit is ... interesting.

You issue a "curl" command, piped into Bash (never a good idea, btw.
But if you trust the service, sure).

it then walks you through a few steps, on the command line, to set up
your "device" that issued the first command on some kind of network
that is exposed via some external port/domain.

You'd use that domain and run your Minecraft server on the same
device, and point your Minecraft clients to it.

Any devices on your local network, though, would likely need to use
your Minecraft Host's local IP Address, which would be a Private one
that is given by your router.

I honestly can't help you with the technical aspects, but I have
something else to add that most people here might not be aware of.

There is a group of Minecraft griefers that scan the internet for
unlisted Minecraft servers. If it's not whitelisted and if they don't
make frequent backups / have anti-griefing protections, they go onto
the server with powerful hacks and blow the place to oblivion.

Make sure you have protections in place, or else you might get some
unwanted visitors.

Telebit requires a relay. The default one may work, I don't know if
it's still active. The github page for it has clear instructions.
However, it is easier and better to just port forward instead of
dealing with telebit.
You could also use hamachi, which doesn't require any network
knowledge, and is what I personally did before I learned how to port
forward.
