The address for Mineshards is sl.mineshards.com. In Minecraft Java Edition choose Multiplayer, then Add Server, and paste it into the Server Address box.

What Minecraft version does Mineshards run?

Mineshards 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 Mineshards?

No. Mineshards 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.

Is Mineshards free to join?

Yes, joining Mineshards 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.
