Minecraft Java on Windows 10 - Servers ping forever, and if i try to join one i get stuck...

Hello, I'm Felipe and I'm an independent Community Expert, and I'll do my best to help you.

This issue with Minecraft servers can be caused by several factors, including firewall blocking, outdated Java version, or DNS cache problems. Here are some steps you can try to resolve the issue:

Disable Firewall: Firewall can block incoming connections to the Minecraft server. To disable the Windows Firewall, go to the Windows Start menu, select "Control Panel," then "System and Security," and click on "Windows Defender Firewall." Select "Turn Windows Defender Firewall on or off" and make sure the firewall is turned off for both private and public networks.

Update Java: Make sure you have the latest version of Java installed. You can download the latest version of Java from the official Java website.

Clear DNS cache: Clearing your computer's DNS cache can sometimes resolve issues with connecting to servers. To clear your DNS cache, open Command Prompt as an administrator, and type "ipconfig /flushdns". Then press "Enter".

Change DNS server: Try changing your computer's DNS server to a different one. You can do this by going to the Windows Start menu, select "Control Panel," then "Network and Sharing Center," and click on "Change adapter settings." Right-click on your active network adapter and select "Properties," then select "Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4)," and click on "Properties." Choose "Use the following DNS server addresses," and enter the preferred and alternate addresses provided by your new DNS server.

Disable VPN: If you're using a VPN, try disabling it to see if it's interfering with your ability to connect to Minecraft servers.

Reinstall Minecraft: If none of the above steps work, try reinstalling Minecraft. Uninstall Minecraft completely, including any saved game files, and then reinstall it.

I hope these steps will help resolve the issue you're having with connecting to Minecraft servers. If the problem persists, you can reach out to the Minecraft support team for further assistance.

What server are you trying to join exactly?

Be aware that some servers only work with the JAVA version of Minecraft. Not all servers support the Windows 10 Minecraft version.

If in doubt, check the website for the server (if it exists) or contact the server administrator (if known).

I am using windows 10 I play java edition I had redeem java code with microsoft account and now I can't join premium server when I try to join it it shows failed to authenticate your connection

I bought the Windows 10 version of Minecraft by mistake, but the one I wanted was the java edition.

I saw that anyone who buys minecraft java edition is entitled to minecraft Windows 10. Is the reverse also true? Who buys minecraft windows 10 is entitled to minecraft java edition?

If so, how do I access the java edition version at no additional cost?

unfortunately it! didint, actually i dont use windows i use macOS, the help i need is that my minecraft account that is java microsoft, does not join minecraft premium servers.
