How do I join my Minecraft server?

How to find your Minecraft server's address in the game panel and add the server in Minecraft Java Edition or Bedrock Edition.

By Hermie Updated

You join your Minecraft server with the address shown at Address in the game panel. It consists of a hostname and a port, for example mc00.planetnode.net:25565. You add that address as a server in Minecraft.

Find your server address

  1. Log in to the game panel and open your server.
  2. On the right of the Console, Address shows your server's address. Copy all of it, including the colon and the port.

  3. Make sure your server is running. If Uptime says Offline, click Start.

  4. At Server Address, paste the address from the game panel.
  5. Click Done and double-click your server in the list.

Versions must match

Your Minecraft launcher must use the same version as your server. If your server runs 1.21.11, for example, choose 1.21.11 at Installations in the launcher too.

Join with Minecraft: Bedrock Edition

If you have a Bedrock server with us, enter the address and port separately:

  1. Start Minecraft, choose Play and then the Servers tab.
  2. Scroll down and choose Add Server.
  3. At Server Address, enter only the hostname, the part before the colon.
  4. At Port, enter the number after the colon.
  5. Choose Save and click your server to join.
