I am attempting to connect to my Minecraft server using version 1.12.2 on the IP address 172.20.10.11:8080.
Are you connecting to port 8080 or 25565? 25565 (or just leaving the port blank) would be the correct one, 8080 is only for the WebAdmin.
Appreciate the quick replies @mathiascode. Yep, I was entering 172.20.10.11:8080.
Worked straight away when I entered 172.20.10.11:25565. Entering just 172.20.10.11 took a bit longer to connect.
I have a few questions if you wouldn't mind answering:
Is the port mentioned somewhere in the application or is it assumed knowledge? For newcomers like myself, it would be great if the IP address and port could be listed somewhere in the app like how the WebAdmin address is listed.
Is there a reason why Minecraft takes a bit longer to connect if the port is not specified (does it have to try/test multiple ports)?
Why does the server use the port 25565?
- Is the port mentioned somewhere in the application or is it assumed knowledge? For newcomers like myself, it would be great if the IP address and port could be listed somewhere in the app like how the WebAdmin address is listed.
I suppose it would be possible to extract the port from the server config and show it next to the IP address in the notification.

Not sure, but it should only connect to 25565.
- Why does the server use the port 25565?
That's the default port Minecraft Java Edition servers use. Why it was chosen as the default port, you'd have to ask Mojang.
Thanks for the quick replies. Awesome responding so quickly! 💯 I'll close this now. Looking forward to version 1.6.1. 👍
Hello,
This is a follow on from #70.
I am attempting to connect to my Minecraft server using version 1.12.2 on the IP address 172.20.10.11:8080.
When I added the server to Minecraft the first time it appeared correctly with the description "Cuberite - in C++!". When I tried to connect, it reported that it was "Logging In" and then gave the messaged "Timed Out".
I've since deleted and readded the server, as well as tried to do a 'direct connect', both of which report as "Logging In" and then gave the message "Timed Out". I've also restarted the server, both on the app and in the admin console at http://172.20.10.11:8080, as well as closing and reopening the app. I now cannot get the description of the server to appear in the menu which reports that it is "Pinging...", even after clicking "Refresh" and waiting multiple times. Sometimes it gives the message "Can't connect to server".
Neither the app console or the web console report that my Minecraft account has connected to the server.
The phone which is hosting a server (Samsung Galaxy J1 Mini) and my laptop are connected to the personal hotspot of an iPhone Xs Max.
I should note that the time on the Samsung does not match the laptop or iPhone.
Here is a copy of the 'console' page on the phone:
