Open Minecraft Java Edition → Multiplayer → Add Server. Paste the IP mc.thecavern.net, 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 Thecavern?

The address for Thecavern is mc.thecavern.net. In Minecraft Java Edition choose Multiplayer, then Add Server, and paste it into the Server Address box.

Is Thecavern online right now?

Yes. Thecavern replied to our ping with 19 players connected. We last reached it at 2026-10-24 18:39 UTC and we re-check every five minutes.

What Minecraft version does Thecavern run?

Thecavern 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 Thecavern?

Yes. Thecavern 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 Thecavern?

19 at our last ping. The seven-day average is 12 and the highest we have recorded in that window is 36. The chart further up this page shows how that number moves through the day.

When is the best time to play on Thecavern?

Around 20:00 UTC, when we typically count about 18 players. That is the busiest hour we have measured on Thecavern over the last seven days.

Is Thecavern free to join?

Yes, joining Thecavern 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.
