    You can actually type anything you like into the Server Name field. Using "Mineplex" is recommended so you can easily find it on your list of servers, if you decide to add more later.

    When joining popular servers like Mineplex, first ensure you have the latest Java version installed. From the Multiplayer menu, select Add Server, enter a name like 'Mineplex', and input the address us.mineplex.com or eu.mineplex.com based on your region. With the server added, highlight it and click Done. Patience during connection is key — grab a snack while loading, and soon you'll be battling friends in a round of Dragons!

    There are two addresses for the Mineplex server. Pick the one closest to where you live:
    • Type in US.mineplex.com if you are in or near the United States.
    • Type in EU.mineplex.com if you are in or near Europe.

    You should see a new server on your list. The banner image usually says "Mineplex Games."
    • If there is a blank space with "cannot resolve host name," try again and make sure you type the server address correctly.
    • If the space says "cannot connect to server," your internet might be having trouble. Try plugging into Ethernet if you are on WiFi, or just try again later.

    Is this on the computer?

    This is for the PC/Java edition of Minecraft. However, Mineplex has recently released a Windows 10 Edition/Pocket Edition server. The IP is PE.mineplex.com. Leave the port to the default.
