Once your server has finished installing, you are ready to connect to your server and start playing. There are two ways to connect to your server:

  1. Through the alias address shown on the right side of the console. Your server address will look something like mango.fps.ms:25565
Server Address
  1. Through a subdomain you can create for your server (example: caner.playmc.be)
  2. Through a custom server IP address you can create with your own custom domain (example: mc.caner.com)

Connecting to your Minecraft Server

Once you know what your address is (alias, subdomain or your custom IP), it's ready to start playing on your Minecraft server.
  1. Start up Minecraft.
  2. On the home screen, press Multiplayer
  3. Press on Add Server
  4. Under Server Name, give your server a name to identify it (e.g. My Free Server)
  5. Under Address, type in the address of the server (alias, subdomain or custom IP)
  6. Click on Done
  7. Your server has now been added to your Multiplayer list and you should be able to see it online. Double press on your server and you are ready to play!
