How to join a Minecraft server

Although in the Minecraft universe there are many public servers for both “Premium” and “Non-Premium” users, we may want to play multiplayer games with friends and we do not know what steps we must follow to join a Minecraft server.

In Minecraft there are many public servers with which we can play different multiplayer modes with our friends . Throughout the network there are thousands of servers, but to know how to join a server we must take into account some details.

How to join a private server with Hamachi

If our friends have created a server, they have probably done it through a program called “ Hamachi ”.

In order to join a server created with LogMeIn Hamachi, we must be on the same Hamachi server as them . Therefore, we must download LogMeIn Hamachi.

  • Download LogMeIn Hamachi for Windows
  • Once we have downloaded the program, we must install it and register for it .
  • Then, we will click on the “turn on” button located in the upper left part of the program.
  • After that, we will click on the option ” Join a network “. In this section, we will be required to provide certain information such as, for example, the name of the network to which we want to join and its password. Both parameters have been entered by the user who created the network within Hamachi.
  • When we are already within the same network in LogMeIn Hamachi as the rest of the users, we must copy the IP that will appear on the server or, on the contrary, we can ask the creator of the server who has defined the IP of the server in question .

Join the server in Minecraft

To join a server in Minecraft, be it public or private, we must go to the ” Multiplayer ” section within Minecraft and then click on “Add server” at the bottom right.

The address of the Minecraft servers can be different. If we talk about public servants, the vast majority have an address that has a format similar to that of a web page . On the other hand, if we are going to join a friend’s server, we will most likely have to enter an IP address that is made up of numbers with dots to separate them.

Possible problems we may experience when we join a server

When joining a server, we may experience several problems, so we must take the following into account:

  • Have a stable Internet connection , because if it is too slow, it is possible that the server will kick us out because we slow down the entire server.
  • The version of Minecraft of a server is essential, because the servers are usually compatible with a specific version of Minecraft and if we do not have the same version of the game as the server we are trying to join, it will give us an error.
  • There are some servers that allow us to access but that after a few seconds they throw us out of it, this fact usually occurs in “Non Premium” servers where we must enter a command in the chat so that in this way, the name is registered and there is no problem of any kind.
  • Another problem that can occur to us is that we have an outdated version of Java, to solve it it will be enough to check on your page if we have the latest one and if not, we will download it .
