Java vs Bedrock

Java shows connection refused or timed out; Bedrock uses different networking — confirm edition matches the server.

How to fix step by step

  1. 1Check Mojang and Microsoft account status pages.
  2. 2Confirm server IP, port, and that the server is online.
  3. 3Match client version to server version exactly.
  4. 4Disable VPN and allow Minecraft through Windows Firewall.
  5. 5Flush DNS and reboot router.
  6. 6Try another server to isolate server-side downtime.
  7. 7Reinstall Minecraft if only multiplayer fails.

How FAILED-TO-CONNECT differs from related codes

  • Error OUTDATED-CLIENT: Your Minecraft client version is older than the multiplayer server. (usually client-side)
  • Error LOGIN-FAILED: Minecraft could not sign in to Microsoft account. (server or client)
