How to Connect to Your Minecraft Server

Finding Your Server Address

Your server IP address and port are shown in your AgilaHost dashboard under your order details, or in the game panel under the Console tab header.

Note: Your server uses an assigned port, not the default. Always use the IP and port shown in your panel.

Connecting from Java Edition

1. Open Minecraft Java Edition
2. Click Multiplayer
3. Click Add Server
4. Enter your server address in the format: IP:PORT (e.g., 125.253.92.5:25612)
5. Click Done, then double-click the server to join

Connecting from Bedrock Edition

1. Go to Play → Servers tab
2. Scroll down and click Add Server
3. Enter the IP address and port separately (Bedrock has two fields)
4. Click Save and then Join Server

Console players (PlayStation, Xbox): Custom servers cannot be added directly on consoles without workarounds. See our Crossplay Guide for options.

Troubleshooting

• Java vs Bedrock mismatch — A Java server cannot be joined from Bedrock (and vice versa) unless you install GeyserMC. See our Crossplay Guide
• Cracked/pirated client — If you are using a non-premium copy of Minecraft, the server must have online-mode=false in server.properties. See our Cracked Minecraft Guide. Note: this disables Mojang authentication
• "Connection timed out" — Double-check the IP and port. Make sure the server is running (status should show "Running" in the panel console)
• Version mismatch — Your Minecraft client version must match the server version. Check the server version in the Startup tab and update your client accordingly
• Port checker shows closed — Online port checkers test TCP connections. Minecraft Java uses TCP, so these checkers work for Java servers. Bedrock uses UDP, which most port checkers cannot test. If your Bedrock server is running in the panel, try connecting directly from the game instead of relying on a port checker
