Questions about this server
What is the IP address for Mineshort?
The address for Mineshort is play.mineshort.org. In Minecraft Java Edition choose Multiplayer, then Add Server, and paste it into the Server Address box.
Is Mineshort online right now?
Yes. Mineshort replied to our ping with 4 players connected. We last reached it at 2026-10-24 14:10 UTC and we re-check every five minutes.
What Minecraft version does Mineshort run?
Mineshort reports Velocity 1.7.2-26.2, 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 Mineshort?
No. Mineshort 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.
