Troubleshooting

 

 

If you receive this message, it may mean one of the following:

  • You have not yet signed up to or been verified to join Spectrum Gaming

  • You are new and have not yet completed the rules minigame

  • When you signed up to join Spectrum Gaming, your Minecraft username was not entered or it was entered incorrectly 

  • You have changed your username since signing up to Spectrum Gaming, or have made a new Java account 

If you need to let us know your correct Minecraft username or update the one we have, please open a Minecraft Support Ticket in our Discord server.

If you receive a message saying you have been temporarily taken off the server whitelist

 

 

If you receive this message, it may mean one of the following:

  • There has been an incident on the server which involves you, and we would like to work together with you to see how we can fix any difficulties you may have experienced 

  • We may have felt you would benefit from a break from the server, as sometimes emotions get very high!

 

If you receive the above message and a Minecraft moderator has not contacted you already (they usually will), please open a Minecraft Support Ticket on our Discord server.

If you are unable to join the server for any other reason

  • Check you are definitely on Minecraft version 1.21

  • Try using this server address instead: mc.spectrumgaming.fun

  • Try deleting the server and adding it back

  • Check you have an internet connection and that your connection is strong. Consider restarting your internet router

  • Check the Minecraft server announcements channel on Discord, there may be network issues or scheduled downtime

If after trying all of the above your issue has not been resolved, please open a Minecraft Support Ticket on Discord and share any error codes that you receive
