Minecraft Windows 10 "Unable to connect to server" though IP & versions match, & connection...

Hi to all!

I've bought both Minecraft for windows 10 and android and I've downloaded the server.jar from Minecraft website.

I've configured the server and I'm able to connect from windows 10.

When I try to connect from Android version I receive the error "unable to connect to world".

I've tried multiple times, checked my online settings on the account, restarted both client and server, but I still not be able to play and clearly I'm missing something.

Can you help me?

Thanks!!

Tanks bro

Thank you for posting to Microsoft Community



Based on your description, I understand that you are unable to join your friends Minecraft server, please point out if I am misunderstanding.



Here are some of my suggestions



Check if the Server Address is Correct

• Make sure the server IP address and port number you entered are completely correct. You can ask the server owner to confirm the address again.
  
• If a custom port number is set, make sure you are entering it in the correct format when connecting,
  

Ensure Mods and Versions Match Exactly

• Mod Consistency: Check if the mods in your CurseForge profile match the mods on the server exactly, including version numbers. The server owner can send you the mod pack that is currently running on the server for comparison.
  
• Minecraft Version: Make sure your version of Minecraft matches the server's main version (e.g., 1.18.2, 1.19, etc.).
  
• Some derivative mod packs may have slight differences, so it’s advisable to directly import the mod files provided by your friend.
  

Network Connection and Ping Issues

• Check Network Connection: Use the following to see if the issue lies with your network:
  
  • Open Command Prompt (Windows) or Terminal (Mac), type ping [Server IP Address], and check if the connection is stable.
    
  • If you cannot ping the server, it could be a network issue, or the server side may have blocked your connection.
    
• Test with VPN: Try using a VPN to change your IP address and then connect to the server. Sometimes network routing problems can cause connections from specific regions to fail.
  

Check Firewall and Antivirus Software

• Make sure your firewall isn’t blocking the network connection for Minecraft or CurseForge.
  
• Temporarily disable antivirus software (or allow network access for CurseForge and Minecraft) and try connecting to the server again.
  
• If you are using a router, check if it has a protection function enabled that blocks certain ports; you can temporarily disable it for testing.
  

Server-Side Issues

• Have the server owner check the server logs for any records of your connection attempts:
  
  • Are there any error messages when attempting to connect?
    
  • Did your account accidentally get blocked due to your IP or some configuration, even without a whitelist?
    
• Even though the server doesn’t have a whitelist, there might still be a connection failure due to network issues that unintentionally blocked you.
  

Clear Cache and Reinstall Mods

• Delete your existing mod folder and reinstall the mod pack from CurseForge.
  
• Delete and reinstall your CurseForge launcher and Minecraft game files to ensure there are no potential configuration errors.
  

Try Direct Connection to the Server

• In addition to using the CurseForge launcher, you can attempt to connect directly via the Minecraft vanilla launcher, loading the mod pack and joining the server to test.
  

I wish you all the best

If you are experiencing a "connection refused" error when trying to connect to a Minecraft Java server, there are several potential causes and solutions.

1. Check server status: First, ensure that the server is online and running. If you are not the server owner, check with them to confirm that the server is running and that you have the correct IP address and port number.
   
2. Check firewall settings: If you are hosting the server, check your firewall settings to make sure that the port used by the server (default is 25565) is open and allowing incoming connections. If you are connecting from a different network, check that the network's firewall is not blocking the connection.
   
3. Check server settings: If the server is running but you still cannot connect, check the server settings to ensure that it is configured to accept connections from your IP address. If the server is set to only allow connections from certain IP addresses, make sure that your IP address is on the list.
   
4. Restart server and/or client: Try restarting both the server and your Minecraft client to see if that resolves the issue.
   
5. Use the correct Minecraft version: Make sure that you are using the correct version of Minecraft to connect to the server. If the server is running an older version of Minecraft, you may need to switch to that version to connect.
   
6. Use a different DNS server: Sometimes, the DNS server you are using can cause connection issues. Try using a different DNS server or resetting your DNS settings to see if that resolves the issue.
   

If none of these solutions work, there may be a more serious issue with the server or your connection. You can try contacting the server owner or your internet service provider for further assistance.
