Starbound
Ready to beam down to your new galaxy? Connecting to your Starbound server only takes a minute once you know where to find your connection details. This guide walks you through finding your server address and joining through the in-game Multiplayer menu.
Make sure your server has finished its first boot before trying to connect. The very first startup downloads several gigabytes of server files, so give it a few minutes before jumping in.
Step 1: Find Your Server Address
First, you will need your server's unique connection address.
192.168.1.1:21025.
Step 2: Launch Starbound and Start Multiplayer
Join Game.
Step 3: Enter Your Server Details

🛠️ Troubleshooting Common Connection Issues
Connection timed out
Double-check that you copied the full address correctly and that your server shows as Running on the MintServers panel.
Asset mismatch / kicked on join
Starbound requires every player to have the exact same mods installed as the server. If you were recently kicked after a mod was added or removed from the server, update your own mod list to match.
Character won't load in
Try selecting a different character slot or creating a new character, then reconnect.
That's it, you're in!
