Questions about this server

What is the IP address for Vanillagames?

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

Is Vanillagames online right now?

Yes. Vanillagames replied to our ping with 2 players connected. We last reached it at 2026-10-24 14:08 UTC and we re-check every five minutes.

What Minecraft version does Vanillagames run?

Vanillagames reports version 26.3. Matching your client to that version is the usual fix when a server refuses the connection.

Can Java and Bedrock players both join Vanillagames?

No. Vanillagames 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 Vanillagames?

2 at our last ping. The seven-day average is 3 and the highest we have recorded in that window is 15. The chart further up this page shows how that number moves through the day.

When is the best time to play on Vanillagames?

Around 18:00 UTC, when we typically count about 6 players. That is the busiest hour we have measured on Vanillagames over the last seven days.

Where is Vanillagames hosted?

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

Is Vanillagames free to join?

Yes, joining Vanillagames 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.
