What is a Minecraft Server IP?

Ender Pearl

A Minecraft server IP (also called a server address) is the unique identifier you need to connect to a multiplayer server. Think of it like a phone number for servers — each server has its own unique address that players use to join.

Server IPs come in two formats: domain names (like play.example.com) that are easy to remember, or numeric IP addresses (like 192.168.1.1) with optional port numbers.

Did You Know?

Most large Minecraft servers use domain names (like play.hypixel.net) because they're easier to remember. The domain automatically points to the server's numeric IP address behind the scenes.

IP Address Formats Explained

Domain Name

play.hypixel.net

Most common format. Easy to remember, works like a website address. Most large servers use this format.

IP with Port

192.168.1.1:25565

Numeric address with port number. Used when servers don't have a domain. The default Java port is 25565.

Grass Block Side

Bedrock IP

play.server.com:19132

Bedrock Edition uses port 19132 by default instead of 25565. Some servers support both editions.

Domain Names vs Numeric IPs

Advantages

  • Easy to remember and type (play.example.com)
  • Server can change hosting without changing the address
  • Looks more professional and trustworthy
  • Can include subdomains for different game modes

Considerations

  • Numeric IPs always work even if DNS is down
  • No domain registration required for numeric IPs
  • Direct connection without DNS lookup (slightly faster)
  • Useful for testing and local servers

Pro Tip

If a server gives you both a domain name and a numeric IP, use the domain name. It's more reliable because the server owner can update it if their IP changes.

How to Use a Server IP

Command Block Front
Java Edition (PC)

  1. 1Open Minecraft Java Edition and click 'Multiplayer'
  2. 2Click 'Add Server' or 'Direct Connect'
  3. 3Paste the server IP in the 'Server Address' field
  4. 4Click 'Done' then double-click the server to join

  1. 1Console doesn't natively support custom server IPs
  2. 2Use BedrockConnect or Phantom DNS methods
  3. 3Featured servers are available in the Servers tab
  4. 4Some services allow adding custom servers via DNS settings

Connection Troubleshooting

Check These First

  • Server IP is spelled correctly (no spaces)
  • Minecraft version matches server version
  • Using the correct edition (Java/Bedrock)
  • Port number included if required
  • Internet connection is stable

Common Issues

  • Server might be temporarily offline or in maintenance
  • Firewall or antivirus blocking the connection
  • Server is whitelist-only (requires application)
  • Server has reached maximum player capacity
  • VPN may be blocking the connection

Firewall Issues?

If you keep getting "Connection Timed Out" errors, try temporarily disabling your firewall or adding Minecraft (javaw.exe) as an exception. Also check if your ISP blocks the server port.

Before You Connect — Checklist

Correct IP Format

Essential

Make sure you're using the right IP format. Domain names don't need a port; numeric IPs might.

Matching Version

Essential

Your Minecraft version must match or be compatible with the server's version.

Right Edition

Essential

Java Edition IPs only work on Java, and Bedrock IPs only on Bedrock (unless crossplay enabled).

Server Status

Important

Check if the server is currently online before trying to connect.

Port Number

Important

Include the port if specified (e.g., :25566). Default ports can be omitted.

Whitelist Status

Nice to Have

Some servers require an application or invitation before you can join.

Tips & Tricks

Beginner Tips

1

Use Direct Connect First

Before adding a server to your list, use 'Direct Connect' to test if it works. This saves time if the IP is wrong.

2

Copy-Paste the IP

Always copy and paste server IPs instead of typing them manually. This prevents typos that cause connection failures.

3

Bookmark Your Favorites

Add servers you enjoy to your server list in-game and vote for them on ServerHub to find them easily later.

Advanced Tips

Use SRV Records

Some servers use SRV DNS records so you can connect with just the domain (no port). This is the cleanest setup.

Multiple Versions

Use a launcher like MultiMC or Prism to manage multiple Minecraft versions, so you can connect to any server.

Check Server Status

Use mcsrvstat.us or the ServerHub page to check if a server is online before trying to connect.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Minecraft server IP?
A Minecraft server IP is the unique address used to connect to a multiplayer server. It can be a domain name (like play.example.com) or a numeric IP address (like 192.168.1.1). Every Minecraft server has one, and you need it to connect.
How do I find a Minecraft server IP?
Server IPs are listed on server list websites like ServerHub. Each server page displays its IP address with a one-click copy button. You can also find IPs on server websites, Discord communities, or social media.
What's the default Minecraft server port?
Java Edition uses port 25565 by default. Bedrock Edition uses port 19132. If a server uses the default port, you don't need to include it when connecting.
Why can't I connect to a server IP?
Common reasons include: the server is offline, the IP is typed incorrectly, your Minecraft version doesn't match the server's, or a firewall/antivirus is blocking the connection. Check our troubleshooting section for detailed help.
Can I hide my IP on Minecraft servers?
Your IP address is visible to server owners but not to other players. For additional privacy, you can use a VPN service, though some servers block VPN connections to prevent ban evasion.
Do I need the port number?
Only if the server uses a non-default port. If the IP includes a port (like play.server.com:25566), you must include it. Default ports (25565 for Java, 19132 for Bedrock) can be omitted.
What's the difference between Java and Bedrock server IPs?
Java server IPs typically use port 25565 and Bedrock uses 19132. Some servers support both editions through GeyserMC crossplay, meaning both Java and Bedrock players connect to the same server.
Can I play on a Java server from Bedrock?
Only if the server has GeyserMC or a similar crossplay plugin installed. These servers are marked as 'Crossplay' on ServerHub. Regular Java servers cannot be joined from Bedrock Edition.

Finding Minecraft Server IPs

Minecraft server IPs are essential for multiplayer gaming. Whether you're looking for a survival server IP, skyblock server IP, factions server IP, or any other gamemode, you'll need the server's unique address to connect.

ServerHub makes finding server IPs easy. Every server listing includes a one-click copy button for the IP address. Simply browse servers, find one you like, copy the IP, and paste it into Minecraft's multiplayer menu.

For Bedrock Edition players on mobile, console, or Windows 10/11, look for servers that specifically support Bedrock, or check if the server uses GeyserMC for cross-platform play. ServerHub marks crossplay-compatible servers so you can easily find them.
