Cant connect to minecraft servers

Occasionally you can run into problems while trying to connect to a Minecraft server. If you’re confident that you have the right server address, the issue could be related to your system or network.

I would suggest updating your drivers or you need to check your Windows Firewall settings and make sure “javaw.exe” is allowed.

If I may ask, are you getting this error on Xbox or PC? Kindly also sign in to https://account.xbox.com/settings and make sure that all multiplayer settings are set to “allow” or “everyone”:

Please click “submit”, once confirmed restart your device to re-sync and make sure all changes are saved then try again.

Hi Dylan,

Thank you for posting on the Xbox forums. We'd be happy to help, but we'll need some more information on the issue because not being able to connect to any servers can be the cause of many things.

Do both of you have Minecraft Windows 10? Have you fully restarted your PC and re-installed the game?

Can you check your networks settings in the Xbox app for Windows 10? You need to make sure your NAT type is open and connectivity to Xbox Live is not being blocked.

This thread on the
Minecraft forums has some general information on what to try if you can't connect to servers in Minecraft. I advise you to also take a look for a solution on the Minecraft forums, since you have more players like yourself that can give you a better answer.

Hello ERROR 008,



Welcome to the Microsoft Community.

There are many reasons for not being able to connect to any server in Minecraft. Here are some of the common reasons and their solutions so that you can troubleshoot and solve the problem step by step:



1. Check if the Minecraft version and the server version match

Make sure that the server you are trying to connect to is compatible with your version of Minecraft. If you are playing Minecraft Java Edition and the server you are trying to connect to is Bedrock Edition (or vice versa), you will not be able to connect.

Solution:

Make sure you are using the correct version of Minecraft (Java or Bedrock) to connect to the appropriate type of server.

You can check the server's official website or introduction page for information on the versions supported by the server.



2. Make sure your internet connection is working

Minecraft may not be able to connect to the server due to network problems. When the network is unstable, too slow, or malfunctioning, it may prevent you from connecting to the server.

Solution:

Make sure your device is connected to a stable network (use a wired connection or make sure the Wi-Fi signal is good).

You can try opening other apps or websites to test the network connection and make sure there are no network interruptions or delays.



3. Check Minecraft's Firewall or Network Settings

If you are using a firewall or certain network security software, it may be preventing Minecraft from establishing a connection with the server. You can check your firewall settings to see if there are rules that prevent Minecraft from connecting.

Solution:

Open your firewall settings and make sure that Minecraft or Minecraft Launcher is allowed to connect to the Internet through the firewall.

Make sure that no other internet security software is blocking Minecraft connections.

You can also contact the support staff of the corresponding game to find out why.
