If you would like to join a Minecraft PC / Java Edition server, there are a few things to consider:

  • The server must be running any Minecraft PC / Java Edition server type.

  • You must have Minecraft installed on your computer. You may download the installer from Minecraft's official site.

  • Your Minecraft client must be the same version that the server runs on. You can find the version on the bottom-left corner of your Minecraft client.

How to Identify your Server Address (IP & Port)

To get started, you need to identify the address of the server you want to join. If you own a Shockbyte server, you can find your server address on your server panel. This will be labeled as "IP" as shown in the screenshot below.

Connecting to a Java Server

Now that you have the server address, you're ready to join the server.

Step 1:

Launch Minecraft, then click the Multiplayer button

Step 2:

Click the Add Server button

Step 3:

Enter your desired name for the server, then add the IP into the server address box

Step 4:

Back on your server list, locate your newly added server, then double click it to connect
