Find your join address

  1. In the panel, open your server and go to Network (or look at Address on the Console page).

  2. Note the Port, the number after the colon, for example 40030.

  3. Your join address is gameprod1.crashcrafts.com: followed by your port. For example:

    gameprod1.crashcrafts.com:40030

Add the server in Minecraft (Java Edition)

  1. Open Minecraft and choose Multiplayer.
  2. Choose Add Server.
  3. Server Name: anything, e.g. My CrashCrafts server.
  4. Server Address: your join address, e.g. gameprod1.crashcrafts.com:40030.
  5. Choose Done, then double-click the server to join.

Your Minecraft version must match the server's version, unless the server runs ViaVersion. The server's version is shown on Minecraft Plugins and on Startup in the panel.

Bedrock players (phones, consoles, Windows 10/11 Bedrock)

Bedrock Edition can't join a Java server on its own. Add Geyser first: see Let Bedrock players join.
