How to Join a Minecraft Java Edition (PC) Server

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 in 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 labelled as "IP Address".

#Connecting to a Java Server

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

1. Launch Minecraft, then click the Multiplayer button

2. Click the Add Server button

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

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