Additional Tips & Troubleshooting

  • Ensure you're using the Bedrock Edition of Minecraft—not the Java Edition (this applies only to Windows users).

  • Double-check you’ve entered the server address and port correctly, with no extra spaces or typos.

  • Device-specific notes:

    • Some consoles may require you to manually refresh the servers list before seeing yours.

    • On mobiles, ensure you're connected to a stable internet network and have the latest game version installed.

  • If you experience connection issues, try:

    • Restarting your device

    • Checking your internet connection

    • Verifying the server isn’t full or undergoing maintenance

    • Contacting support if the issue persists
