Long story short, i was trying to launch up a vanilla server, having in mind all the rules about ports, ip's etc.
So i port forwarded 25565 in my router settings
in my windows firewall settings
made sure it is open, by downloading PFPortChecker, launched the server on localhost and checked the ports on 2ip.ru site.
It all shown me that 25565 is, in fact, open
but when i write my public ipv4 in the server.properties, and launch up the server, it gives me the FAILED TO BIND TO PORT error
my guess is that i'm a twat

Leave the IP = in the server properties file empty. It causes more problems when you fill it in, and its not necessary for the server to work either internlly or externally.
