Community Q&ASearch

Question How do I contact the server owners? Community Answer You need to see who owns it and contact them via email or any social media they have.

Question How do I log out of Minecraft? Community Answer Go to the launcher and click the “Log out” button. Then you should sign back in and try to connect to the server.

Question What does it mean when the server I open says, “Failed to login: invalid session (Try restarting your game)”? How do I fix it? Community Answer Close the game; if it re-opens the launcher, close that, too. Start a new instance of Minecraft.

Question Do I have to be connected to WiFi to join a server? Community Answer No, but you need to be connected to the internet.

Question My problem is that it says connection timed out, no further information. Is this a router issue or something else? Community Answer This normally means its something on the hosts side, though it could be your side. If the server is quite popular, it will probably be your side. Check if it happens on all servers; if so, try rebooting your router and device youre playing on.

Question What does it mean when it says “outdated server”? Community Answer It means either the server or you are running on an outdated version of Minecraft. Check that your version and the server are on the same version.

Question What do I do if Minecraft cant resolve the host name? Community Answer Its usually a internet problem, as in, your internet is either slow or disabled. Try to disable your internet then disable it or wait for it to get faster.

Question What does “it” mean when timed out appears after following this guide and logging out? Floris_Fireball Community Answer When logging in, you create a conversation with the server, they communicate. When something goes wrong, it may break the connection. This happens when the server processes a lot (lag) or when your internet is slow. Minecraft thinks you disconnected and stops talking. Now you receive an error message.

Question It does not connect, I even saw a video on how to connect but still does not connect? Floris_Fireball Community Answer Make sure you looked through all the steps and havent missed one. You may have skipped the solution you needed.

Question What does it mean when Minecraft says it couldnt connect to server? Community Answer Its saying your device and the server cant talk to each other. Either theres no talking going on, or they cant hear each other. You can use these options to remove the obstacles and allow communication again, and thus a stable connection too.
