Open Minecraft Java Edition → Multiplayer → Add Server. Paste the IP play.minecraft.wales, name it anything, click Done, then Join. Java servers use port 25565 by default, so you usually only need the address.

Questions about this server

What is the IP address for Minecraft?

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

Is Minecraft online right now?

Yes. Minecraft replied to our ping with 2 players connected. We last reached it at 2026-10-24 14:05 UTC and we re-check every five minutes.

What Minecraft version does Minecraft run?

Minecraft reports Velocity 1.7.2-26.3, which means it accepts clients from 1.7 through 1.26. A server with that kind of range is normally running a proxy that translates between versions.

Can Java and Bedrock players both join Minecraft?

No. Minecraft only answered on Java when we tested it, so Bedrock players cannot use this address. We repeat the test daily and will update this page if that changes.

How many players are on Minecraft?

2 at our last ping. The seven-day average is 1 and the highest we have recorded in that window is 9. The chart further up this page shows how that number moves through the day.

When is the best time to play on Minecraft?

Around 18:00 UTC, when we typically count about 3 players. That is the busiest hour we have measured on Minecraft over the last seven days.

Where is Minecraft hosted?

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

Is Minecraft free to join?

Yes, joining Minecraft 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.
