Key questions 2

How do I join my Minecraft Java server?

Copy the IP address and port shown in the Console tab, Connexion (connection) box, then paste them into Minecraft Java's Multiplayer menu.

In the client area

Console tabConnexion box (the panel is in French)Open

  1. Start the server from the Console tab and wait for the Done line in the console.

  2. In the Connexion box, copy the Adresse IP (IP address) with the copy button (format IP:port).

  3. In Minecraft Java: Multiplayer, Add Server, paste the full address (IP and port together), Done.

Common errors

  • "Outdated client" or "Outdated server": the version installed on the server (Version tab) doesn't match your launcher's version. Align both.
  • Nothing happens when you click: the server hasn't started yet, check its status in the Console tab.
How do I join my Minecraft Bedrock server?

On Bedrock, the IP address and port go into two separate fields: Play, Servers, Add Server.

In the client area

Console tabConnexion boxOpen

  1. Console tab, Connexion box: copy the Adresse IP (format IP:port).

  2. In Minecraft Bedrock: Play, Servers, Add Server.

  3. Paste the part before the colon into the Server Address field, and the number after the colon into the Port field, then Save.

Common errors

  • From a game console (Xbox, PlayStation, Switch): you can't add an external server directly. Connect from a mobile device or a Windows PC instead.
  • Nothing connects: make sure the port is in the Port field, not stuck onto the end of the IP in the Address field.

The two fields are separate on Bedrock, unlike Java where the full address is pasted as one block.

Allow players without an official account (crack mode)

Turn off Mode en ligne (online mode) under Paramètres (Settings) > Sécurité, then install an authentication plugin if you're on Paper, Spigot or Purpur.

In the client area

Paramètres tabSécurité sectionOpen

  1. Paramètres tab (Settings), Sécurité section: turn off Mode en ligne (online mode), then click Enregistrer (save).

  2. Restart the server.

  3. On Paper, Spigot or Purpur: Plugins tab, install AuthMe or nLogin. Each player picks a password on their first connection (/register), then re-enters it every time (/login).

Common errors

  • Impersonated usernames: without an authentication plugin, anyone can connect using an operator's username and take over their permissions.
  • A Vanilla server doesn't accept plugins: switch to Paper or Purpur first, from the Version tab.

Common problems 1

My friends can't connect

The error message your friends see almost always points to the cause.

  1. Ask your friend for the exact message shown.

  2. Connection refused or getsockopt: the server is stopped or still starting, wait for Done in the console.

  3. Connection timed out: the address was copied without the port, or a field was filled in wrong. Copy it again with the copy button in the Connexion box (Console tab).

  4. You are not white-listed on this server: the whitelist is on and the username isn't on it: add it in the Whitelist tab (see whitelist).

  5. Failed to verify username: crack mode isn't enabled for this player without an official account.

  6. Finally, check that everyone is on the same game version.
