Minecraft

Where do I find my server's IP address and port to connect or share?

Your connection address is your server's IP and port together, and it's shown right inside the panel. Once you have it, you can hand it straight to your players so they can join.

Where the address lives

Your address is always written as IP:port — for example 88.198.15.206:25626. The two pieces belong together: the IP points at the machine, and the port points at your specific server on it.

  1. Open your server in the Game Panel.
  2. Look at the Console page (or the Settings tab) — the address is listed as IP:port.
  3. Copy the whole string and share it with your players.

Tip: The port is part of the address. If you leave it off, players on a non-default port won't connect. If you've set up a custom domain, your friends can use that friendly name instead of the numbers.

Sharing it cleanly

The IP:port works everywhere, but a custom domain (see the domain articles) is tidier to hand out and hides the numbers behind a name you choose.

Frequently asked questions

Do players need the port? Only if your server uses a non-default port. On the default 25565 the address alone works, but sharing the full IP:port never hurts.

Where's this on mobile/Bedrock? Bedrock players enter the IP and the port in separate fields — the same values, just split into two boxes.
