Questions about this server

What is the IP address for Bettertowny?

The address for Bettertowny is play.bettertowny.com. In Minecraft Java Edition choose Multiplayer, then Add Server, and paste it into the Server Address box.

Is Bettertowny online right now?

Yes. Bettertowny replied to our ping with 21 players connected. We last reached it at 2026-10-24 13:31 UTC and we re-check every five minutes.

What Minecraft version does Bettertowny run?

Bettertowny reports version 1.21. Matching your client to that version is the usual fix when a server refuses the connection.

Can Java and Bedrock players both join Bettertowny?

Yes. Bettertowny answered us on the Bedrock protocol as well as Java, so the same address works from a phone, a console and a PC. Bedrock players still need to enter the port separately.

How many players are on Bettertowny?

21 at our last ping. The seven-day average is 22 and the highest we have recorded in that window is 53. The chart further up this page shows how that number moves through the day.

When is the best time to play on Bettertowny?

Around 02:00 UTC, when we typically count about 27 players. That is the busiest hour we have measured on Bettertowny over the last seven days.

Where is Bettertowny hosted?

The address for Bettertowny resolves to a machine in United States. Players far from there should expect a longer round trip, which usually shows up as delayed block breaking rather than as a disconnect.

Is Bettertowny free to join?

Yes, joining Bettertowny costs nothing beyond owning Minecraft. Some servers additionally allow offline-mode accounts and some do not — the server decides that, and we do not resell anything.
