How to join a Minecraft Java server

Open Minecraft Java Edition → Multiplayer → Add Server. Paste the IP play.stratus.network, 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 Stratus?

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

Is Stratus online right now?

Yes. Stratus replied to our ping with 4 players connected. We last reached it at 2026-10-25 14:33 UTC and we re-check every five minutes.

What Minecraft version does Stratus run?

Stratus 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 Stratus?

No. Stratus 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 Stratus?

4 at our last ping. The seven-day average is 1 and the highest we have recorded in that window is 19. The chart further up this page shows how that number moves through the day.

When is the best time to play on Stratus?

Around 00:00 UTC, when we typically count about 2 players. That is the busiest hour we have measured on Stratus over the last seven days.

Where is Stratus hosted?

The address for Stratus 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 Stratus free to join?

Yes, joining Stratus 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.
