How To Join A Minecraft Server (PC / Java Edition) The server must be running any Minecraft PC / Java Edition server type. - Have Minecraft installed on your computer. You may download the installer from Minecraft's official site: https://minecraft.net/en-us/download/ - 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 Multicraft server panel (https://mc.shockbyte.com). This will be labeled as "Server Address" as shown in the screenshot below. In the example above, the server address is 192.168.2.1:12345. Breaking this down, the server IP is the set of numbers before the ":" symbol, and after this are the last five numbers which are the server port. HOW TO CONNECT TO YOUR SERVER (PC / JAVA) Now that you have the server address, you're ready to join the server by following the steps below: 1. MINECRAFT SERVERS On the Minecraft client, click the Multiplayer button. 2. On the Multiplayer screen, click the Add Server button. 3. On the Edit Server Info screen, (1)enter a name you want to call your server in the Server Name textbox. Under (2) Server Address textbox, paste your server's address (IP and port). 4. Once you've completely filled out your server information, click Done. 5. Once you've successfully added your server into the Multiplayer page, you can then connect either by clicking on the right-pointing arrow-shaped button over the server icon, double-click on the server, or click the Join Server button while your server is selected. You're done! You can now play on a Minecraft PC / Java Edition server.
