How to Connect to Your Minecraft Server

Join your Minecraft Java server via direct IP, the multiplayer menu, or a custom domain.

Find Your Server Address

Log in to the XGamingServer Panel. Your server IP and port are shown on the Network tab. The default Minecraft Java port is 25565 (TCP).

Open the game and select your profile/version. The client version must match your server version.

From the main menu, click Multiplayer.

Click Add Server at the bottom of the screen.

Field	Value
Server Name	Anything you want (just a label)
Server Address	`123.45.67.89:25565`

If your server uses the default port 25565, you can omit it: 123.45.67.89

Click Done, then select your server in the list and click Join Server.

Tip: Add your server to favorites so you don't have to re-enter the address each time.

Port	Protocol	Purpose
25565	TCP	Game traffic

Problem	Fix
"Can't connect to server"	Verify the IP and port. Check the server is running in the panel Console
"Outdated server" / "Outdated client"	Your game version must match the server version. See Switch Version or Allow Any Version
"Failed to verify username"	`online-mode=true` requires a legitimate Minecraft account. Cracked clients are rejected
"Connection timed out"	Firewall blocking port 25565 — check Network in the panel
"You are not whitelisted"	Ask an admin to run `whitelist add YourName` in Console. See Whitelist Setup
"Server closed"	The server crashed or stopped. Check Console for errors

To use play.yourdomain.com instead of an IP, set up an SRV record. See SRV Record Setup.
