What you need

  • Minecraft Java Edition, on a computer. Bedrock, phones, tablets and consoles cannot join.
  • An account that owns the paid version of Minecraft Java Edition: the server checks it when you arrive.
  • A built plugin: finish the build in the chat first.

How do I join my test server?

1

Start the server

Open the Test in game tab, then click Start my test server. Count about a minute, while Minecraft starts.
2

Copy the address

When the server is online, click Copy the address.
3

Join in Minecraft

Start Minecraft on the version shown, then Multiplayer, Add Server. Paste the address and join. Your plugin is already installed.
To play on another version: Minecraft Launcher, Installations, New installation. A nearby version works too.

​
Become admin (OP)

Click Become admin (OP) and enter your Minecraft username: letters, numbers and underscore, no spaces or accents. If you were already in game, reconnect.

​
Send commands to the server

The server console shows live on the page. Type a command and Send. In the console, you write the command without the slash, for example time set day or gamemode creative. The slash is only for the in-game chat.

​
Invite a friend

Your game is private. Click Invite a friend and add their Minecraft username: they can then join with the same address.

​
Test an older version

In the history, choose Test this version in game. Back to the latest version takes you to the newest one.

​
Why did my server stop?

  • Your session reached its length: 30 minutes at most per session.
  • Nobody has played for a while, or you clicked Stop.
  • Minax is changing your plugin: start the server again when it is ready.
  • Your minutes for the month are used up. See Test server minutes.
Click Start a server again to go on.

Only the project’s owner starts the test server: it uses their plan.
