How to Connect to Your Minecraft Server

## Finding Your Server Address

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

## Connecting from Java Edition

- Open Minecraft Java Edition
- Click **Multiplayer**
- Click **Add Server**
- Enter your server address in the format: (e.g., )
- Click **Done**, then double-click the server to join

## Connecting from Bedrock Edition

- Open Minecraft Bedrock Edition
- Go to **Play** → **Servers** tab
- Scroll down and click **Add Server**
- Enter the IP address and port separately
- Click **Save** and then **Join Server**

## Troubleshooting Connection Issues

- **Wrong Minecraft version** — Your client version must match the server version. Check the Startup tab in your panel for the current server version
- **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're using a non-legitimate copy of Minecraft, check and set . Note: this disables Mojang authentication
- **"Connection timed out"** — Double-check the IP and port. Make sure the server is running (status should show "Online" in the panel)
- **Port checker shows closed** — Online port checkers test TCP connections, but game servers often use different protocols. If the server is running in the panel, the port is working. Try connecting directly from Minecraft
