How to join servers on different platforms

In this guide, we will explain how you can join your minecraft server on different platforms such as java edition, bedrock edition, mcpe, xbox, ps4, and nintendo switch! Let's get started


📌 What is your server IP? 📌



You can find your server IP on WitherPanel . For a particular server you have, click on the server from the server list, and you would be at the console page. There, you can see your server information, including your IP address. The text underlined in red is the server IP

WitherPanel

In our case, the IP is 191.104.156.202:19213

The server IP is in the format IP:PORT. This means, the server IP is 191.104.156.202 and the port is 19213

On java edition, when you add a server, you'd put the server IP as 191.104.156.202:19213

If you want to remove the :19213 part, you will need a dedicated IP
On bedrock edition, when you add a server, you'd put the server IP as 191.104.156.202 and the port as 19213
Please note, your server will not have the same IP and port as the details mentioned above. Check your own IP at the console page and use those details
