Understanding how server IPs work makes it easy to find and join any server you want. Here&#8217;s everything you need to know.<\/p>\n<h2>What Is a Minecraft Server IP Address?<\/h2>\n<p>A Minecraft server IP is either a <strong>domain name<\/strong> (like <code>play.hypixel.net<\/code>) or a <strong>numeric IP address<\/strong> (like <code>192.168.1.100<\/code>). Most public servers use domain names because they&#8217;re easier to remember.<\/p>\n<h2>Understanding Minecraft Server Ports<\/h2>\n<p>Java Edition servers use port <strong>25565<\/strong> by default. If a server uses a different port, you&#8217;ll see it after the IP separated by a colon:<\/p>\n<p><code>play.example.com:25566<\/code><\/p>\n<p>Bedrock Edition servers default to port <strong>19132<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h2>Where to Find Minecraft Server IP Addresses<\/h2>\n<p>The easiest way to find server IPs is through <a href=\"https:\/\/minecraftserverslist.co\/\">MinecraftServersList.co<\/a>.
