Connecting to your Minecraft server

You can join your server via Direct Connection or by Adding it in-game.

info

Your Minecraft client must run the same version as your server. You can see the server's version at the top of its page in the dashboard, and change it on the Version tab. See Switching server versions.

Find your server address​

  1. Open the Fragnet dashboard, go to My servers and select your server.
  2. On the Overview tab, find Address in the Server Details card. It shows your server's IP address and port, for example 203.0.113.10:25565.
  3. Select the copy button next to it to copy the address. If the server has both a domain and an IP address, use the Domain / IP switch to choose which one you copy. See Server Details.

tip

Set a free subdomain, such as myserver on a Fragnet domain, so your players don't have to type an IP address and port. On Minecraft the subdomain works without a port. See Subdomains.

Join the server in Minecraft​

  1. Make sure that your server is running and launch Minecraft. Select the Multiplayer option in the main menu.

Players on Bedrock Edition (phones, tablets, Windows and consoles) can join a Java server once Bedrock crossplay is set up. You find the Bedrock crossplay card on the Plugins tab. It needs Paper, Purpur, Spigot, Fabric or NeoForge as the server software.
