Describe the request.

Some servers are running on IPv6 address only. And create a small self-use server by IPv6 was more convenient than by IPv4. But this software unsupported IPv6 address. In the issue #2854 , Smokeybear12 says Minecraft does not have this feature. But I try it in Windows 10, it works. So Please Add Support IPv6 Address.

Anything else?

I also found another way to using IPv6 in PojavLauncher. Just using socat in termux by command that "socat -d -d TCP4-LISTEN:25565,reuseaddr,fork TCP6:[2408:8210::8891]:25565".(Using your server ip and port to replace the [2408:8210::8891]:25565). Then enter 127.0.0.1 as server ip in your game. But in some android roms, termux will kill by system after some minites. So add support iPv6 natively is still important.

Surrounding the IPv6 address with brackets should work, no? A la:

[2001:0DB8:AC10:FE01:0000:0000:0000:0000]:25565

(in the "Server Address" field)

But I try it in Windows 10, it works.

Java Edition or Bedrock Edition? (may be unrelated)

termux will kill by system after some minites.

Have you tried using Termux's "Acquire wakelock" functionality? (Off-topic, I know.)

By this way, it works in Windows 10 but doesn't work in PojavLauncher.

My version is Java 1.16.5.

I tried, but it didn't work on some Chinese devices.
