Questions about this server

The address for VanillaPlus is play.vanillaplus.net. In Minecraft Java Edition choose Multiplayer, then Add Server, and paste it into the Server Address box.
Is VanillaPlus online right now?
Yes. VanillaPlus replied to our ping with 129 players connected. We last reached it at 2026-10-12 10:07 UTC and we re-check every five minutes.
What Minecraft version does VanillaPlus run?
VanillaPlus 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 VanillaPlus?
Yes. VanillaPlus 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.

Where is VanillaPlus hosted?
The address for VanillaPlus 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 VanillaPlus free to join?
Yes, joining VanillaPlus 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.
