How To Connect to Your Starbound Server
Learn how to connect to your Starbound dedicated server.
You can connect to your Starbound server through the in-game multiplayer menu using the direct connect feature.
Find Your Server IP and Port
Log in to the XGamingServer Panel. Your server IP and port are displayed on the Dashboard page. The default Starbound server port is 21025.
Launch Starbound
Open Starbound through Steam.
Open Multiplayer
From the main menu, click Multiplayer (or select a character and click Join Server).
Enter Your Server Address
In the server address field, enter your server IP. If the port is not the default 21025, enter it as IP:Port.
Enter the Password
If your server has a password set, enter it in the password field. Leave it blank if there is no password.
Connect
Click Join Server to connect to your server.
💡 Tip: If you are having trouble connecting, verify that your server is fully started by checking the Console in the panel. Make sure you and the server are running the same version of Starbound and any required mods. If issues persist, join our Discord for help.
