Find your server address and connect

What address do I type in Minecraft to join my server?

The address is at the top of your server panel; add it in Minecraft under Multiplayer > Add Server.

Before you start: Minecraft Java Edition on the same version as the server (or ViaVersion installed).

Step by step

1. Open your server from the dashboard. Copy the address from the top of the panel exactly: host and port, for example 203.0.113.10:25580, or your free name like myserver.corex-hosting.com.
2. Click the copy button next to the address so you do not mistype it.
3. In Minecraft: Multiplayer > Add Server. Name it anything, paste the address into Server Address, press Done.
4. Make sure the server shows Running in the panel (press Start if not) and the console says "Done".
5. Select it in the list and Join. The ping bars should show within a few seconds.
6. Share exactly the same address with friends. If you set up a free name in Network, they can use that instead (no port needed).

Check it worked: The server appears in the multiplayer list with ping bars, and Join works.

Why it happens: Servers without a dedicated IP share the node's IP with their own port, so the port is part of the address.
