🛠️ Troubleshooting Connection Issues
- Server Offline: Ensure your server is actually running and shows as "Online" in the MintServers game panel before trying to connect.
- Typo in Address: Double-check the server address and port number to make sure no extra spaces were added when typing them in.
- Wrong Edition: Verify you are using Minecraft Bedrock Edition (the version on mobile, Windows 10/11 store, and consoles) and not Java Edition.
- Console Restrictions: Check that your specific console platform supports adding external servers, as some systems like PlayStation or Xbox require special network workarounds to join third-party hosts.
