How To Join A Minecraft Server On Windows 10

You can play Minecraft solo. If you don''t like multi-player games, the game has a single objective that you can pursue. However, there is an online-multiplayer version''. Users can set up Minecaft servers, build online worlds, and play with hundreds of people. Minecraft servers are exceptionally popular though the servers for the Java version don''t let players using the Windows 10 UWP version of Minecraft join it. This is yet another compatibility problem between the two versions.

That said, you can still join a Minecraft server from the UWP app. Here''s how.

Locate a Server

You need to first find a server to join. You can search online directories for active Minecraft servers. You should look for servers that support the PE edition or Bedrock edition. Check the time it is online when you find a server. Some servers are available 24/7, while some are not. A good directory should be able to tell you whether a server is online at the moment.

Once you find the server, you need to get its IP address. This address could be a URL, or a series of numbers.
