They paste it into the "Multiplayer" screen in Minecraft, **with no port forwarding**, Hamachi or network setup. ## Where to find the address[](https://streethosting.com.br/en/guides/minecraft/invite-friends-to-minecraft-server#onde-achar-endereco) After you sign up for [Minecraft Fácil](https://streethosting.com.br/en/minecraft-facil), you get an email with your panel login. Inside, the server address is shown prominently, usually on the instance home page or in the connection tab. Write that address down. It is the "front door" every player will use. If you are unsure, support in Portuguese can help you find it in the panel. ## IP, subdomain and sharing link[](https://streethosting.com.br/en/guides/minecraft/invite-friends-to-minecraft-server#ip-subdominio-link) ### IP address The classic format: numbers separated by dots, sometimes with a port (e.g. `123.45.67.89:25565`). It works on any Minecraft Java version. ### Subdomain A friendly name that points to the same server (e.g. `meumundo.streethosting.com.br`). It is easier to remember and to paste in Discord than a string of numbers. ### Link or direct invite Some panels let you copy a link or an invite button. What matters is that your friends know which address to paste into the Multiplayer screen, whether it is an IP, a subdomain or a link that redirects to that information. Create a dedicated Discord channel (#ip-servidor) with the address pinned. That way nobody asks for it every Friday. ## Step by step: sending the invite[](https://streethosting.com.br/en/guides/minecraft/invite-friends-to-minecraft-server#passo-a-passo-convite) 1. Join the server on your own first to confirm it is online. 2. Copy the IP or subdomain from the panel. 3. Send it on WhatsApp, Discord or your friends' group chat. 4. Ask them to open Minecraft → Multiplayer → Add Server. 5. They paste the address, save it and connect. If you want to control who gets in, turn on the whitelist before you share the address. See [how to set up the whitelist and ops](https://streethosting.com.br/en/guides/minecraft/minecraft-whitelist-setup). * Everyone on the same Minecraft version (Java or Bedrock, do not mix them). * Address copied with no extra space at the start or end. * Server turned on in the panel (status Online). * Mods: friends with the same list installed, if applicable. ## Common problems when connecting[](https://streethosting.com.br/en/guides/minecraft/invite-friends-to-minecraft-server#problemas-comuns) "Outdated client" or "Outdated server" almost always means a version mismatch. Match the game version before you try again. * **Won't connect:** check that the server shows Online in the panel and that the address was copied correctly. * **Connection timed out:**it could be your friend's local firewall or a server that is turned off, so check the status in the panel. * **Whitelist denied:**add your friend's username to the whitelist before they try to join. Server not ready yet? Check [how long it takes to come online](https://streethosting.com.br/en/guides/minecraft/minecraft-server-setup-time). Before you send the address to the group, paste it into [MC Status](https://mcstatus.streethosting.com.br/?utm%5Fsource=streethosting&utm%5Fmedium=site&utm%5Fcampaign=tools&utm%5Fcontent=guia%3Acomo-convidar-amigos-servidor-minecraft). You see right away whether the server answers from the outside and which version it advertises, which is exactly what your friends need to select in the launcher.

No. The hosting already exposes the server to the internet. Your friends connect directly through the address you share. Do I still need Hamachi or Radmin? Not for hosted servers. Those tools were used when the server ran on your home PC. With hosting, you do not need them. Can I use a name instead of numbers? Yes. You can set up a subdomain (e.g. meuservidor.streethosting.com.br) in the panel so it is easier to remember.
