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

  • 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 you have still been unable to join the server, please check out this external troubleshooting guide which shares common problems and fixes: https://github.com/Pugmatt/BedrockConnect/wiki/Troubleshooting
