About Java Minecraft Servers

Java Edition is the Minecraft client for Windows, Mac, and Linux (the one from minecraft.net / the Launcher). Most plugin servers and almost all modpacks use Java. This filter hides Bedrock-only listings so you copy the right address.

Java usually connects on port 25565. If the listing shows another port, include it (for example play.example.com:25566). Copy the address exactly as shown.

If your friends play on console or mobile, look for Crossplay instead. A normal Java server will not accept Bedrock players without a special bridge.

Java Edition FAQ

Can I join Java servers from Xbox/PlayStation?

Not directly. You need a Crossplay/Geyser network or a Java account on PC.

What does the version number mean?

The Minecraft client version the server expects (e.g. 1.20.4). ViaVersion on some servers allows newer clients—never older than the listing claims without trying.

Offline/cracked vs online-mode?

Online-mode needs a paid Microsoft/Java account. Cracked servers allow unofficial launchers—higher risk, different culture.

Mods required?

Only if the listing is modded. Normal public Survival/minigame IPs are vanilla client + optional resource pack.
