CONNECTION TROUBLESHOOTER
LET’S GET YOU
IN GAME.
What edition are you playing?
Java Edition
Use this server address:
Open Multiplayer → Add Server, paste the address, save, then join.
Unsupported version / red Velocity
That means your Java Minecraft version is newer than Valatic currently supports. You need to downgrade your Minecraft Java version.
- Open the Minecraft Launcher.
- Click Installations.
- Create or select an installation using the newest version that Valatic supports.
- Launch that installation, then join play.valatic.net.
Different Java error
Restart the launcher, make sure you are not using a snapshot/modpack, and re-add play.valatic.net exactly. If it still fails, send Support a screenshot of the full red error message.
Open Support Discord →What device are you on?
Use the Servers tab
- Open Minecraft → Play → Servers.
- Scroll down and select Add Server.
- Name: Valatic.
Save and join. Make sure Minecraft is updated and you are signed into a Microsoft account.
How are you trying to join on console?
Console Servers tab
Xbox, PlayStation, and Switch hide custom servers by default. You cannot add play.valatic.net in the normal server list like PC/mobile.
Use the BedrockTogether connection method instead, then select the temporary connection it creates and add Valatic there:
Joining through Add a Friend
Does the friend connection work?
What error do you see?
Update Minecraft first
That message means Minecraft versions do not match. Update Minecraft from your console’s store, completely close the game, reopen it, and try the friend again.
Use BedrockTogether
If Add Friend does not work, use BedrockTogether on your phone to create a console connection:
- Install/open BedrockTogether on a phone connected to the same Wi-Fi as the console.
- Add Valatic using play.valatic.net and port 19132.
- Start the connection in the app.
- On the console, open Minecraft → Play → Friends and join the BedrockTogether game/session.
Send Support this
- Your device and edition
- A screenshot of the exact error
- Whether other featured servers load
- Whether this began right after an update
