Providing Users With My Public IP Address, Should I Have Any Security Concerns?

$

I wanted to create a client/server program where multiple users can connect to the server and in this case the server would just run on my Windows PC and listen for incoming connections.
Mostly for beta testing and developing ideas for now but was concerned about users knowing my IP address. I never worried about this in all my life and I don't feel I have a reason to but just wanted to ask if there was a safer way than providing the client users with my public IP address to connect with?

Should I be concerned with this at all?
What is the worst case scenario if a malicious user has my public IP address?
