Where do I enter the Minecraft server address?
A Minecraft server address is a string of numbers or letters, called an address. An address can be this code: 88.99.242.165:17678, as well as ritzyranger.com. Once we have this code, we start Minecraft and go to the Multiplayer tab.
When you click on this button, it will show us a list of previously added Minecraft servers. If you have never added Minecraft servers before, this will be blank. If you want to add a new Minecraft server, click on the Add Server button now.
This will open a tab with two fields to fill in. The first one – the name of the server – is only for us. We can freely name the server, for example, I named my server. In the second tab, we give the address of Minecraft server that we got earlier (eg. 88.99.242.165:17678 or ritzyranger.com). We do not change the last tab, leave it as it is and click Done.
When you click on it, you will go back to the server list, and it will appear in the server list.
Now, to enter the server, we select it and click join.
Finally, we will see the loading screen and you will see the world in the Minecraft server.
These simple steps have led you to the possibility of playing on a Minecraft server. Now you can play together with other players, invite your friends to play together and enjoy the gameplay.

Common mistakes
Mistakes are often made during this process. If you are also experiencing any problems – check these subsections.
- Check if the server address is correct. It may happen that you made a typo. Check carefully that you have not made any typos and that the entire address matches. A mistake even in one place will result in not being able to bounce to the server.
- Check that your version of Minecraft matches the server version. Sometimes Minecraft servers have a lower version of the server than you are playing. You can change to a different version of the game in the launcher menu. Find out the version of your Minecraft server and make sure you are using the same version
