How to find your server address

Find the IP and port to give your players, use a custom domain instead, and fix the address errors that block joins.

QUICK ANSWER

It's on the Console tab, in the Address field. That's your IP and port together.

Fact

Bedrock Edition doesn't support SRV records, so a portless custom domain only works for Java players; Bedrock always needs the IP and port typed in directly.

This doc shows tell server owners how to find and troubleshoot their server's connection address.

Before you start

You need a server that's running. You don't need to restart just to look up the address. If you change the port under Startup, restart before it takes effect.

Steps

1Log into the minecraft server's panel.
2Open your server and go to Overview.
3Copy the Connection Address field. It looks like 192.0.2.14:25565.
4Send players that full string, IP and port.
5In the Minecraft client: Multiplayer, Add Server, paste it into Server Address, then Done.

Use a custom domain instead of the IP

1Copy the Connection Address from Overview.
2Add a DNS SRV record with these values. Service: _minecraft Protocol: _tcp Port: your port Target: your IP
3Give it time to propagate. Usually fast, sometimes up to 24 hours.
4Join with just the domain, no port. That only works on Java. Bedrock still needs the IP and port directly.

Verify

Add the address in your Minecraft client and hit Join Server. You should be in within a few seconds. For a custom domain, run it through an SRV record checker first, just to be sure it points where it should.

If it doesn't work

Connection timed out: the server's probably offline or still booting. Check Console for a line that says Done. Unknown host: usually a typo, or the DNS hasn't caught up yet. Compare it against Overview character by character. Domain fails but the IP works: the SRV record is missing, wrong, or still propagating. Bedrock players need the IP and port either way. Port changed but still fails: restart the server, then check Overview again for the updated address.
