Connecting to MegaBuild.de

MegaBuild.de supports crossplay: Java and Bedrock players play together on the same server.

Note

The server is in open beta. To join the beta, sign up on our Discord in the #🧪┃beta-anmeldung channel: click Sign up and enter your Minecraft name and edition. You then get access to the beta info and the beta chat. For current info, see status.megabuild.de.

Server address

Edition	Address	Port
Java Edition	megabuild.de	Default (25565)
Bedrock Edition	megabuild.de	19132

On Java Edition you don’t need to enter a port – the default port is used automatically.

Guide

Note

Console players: On PlayStation, Xbox and Switch, adding your own servers is restricted depending on the platform. In that case you need one of the usual third-party solutions (e.g. a DNS service) to reach external servers.

Resource pack

On Java Edition you get a resource pack when you join, with MegaBuild.de’s icons, menus and models.

Caution

The resource pack is required. If you decline it or the download fails, you’ll be disconnected from the server. Accept it the next time you join.

Declined it by accident? Edit the server in your server list and set Server Resource Packs to Enabled.

Bedrock players don’t need to do anything – they get the content automatically.

Where you land

• The first time, in the lobby. There you create your island with /sky – see Getting Started.
• Later, straight on your island if it’s running – otherwise back in the lobby.

Language

The server follows the language of your Minecraft client: with a German client everything is in German, with any other language it’s in English – menus, chat messages and Mala’s voice in the intro. You don’t need a command for this.

Using Java and Bedrock together

If you play with both a Java and a Bedrock account, you can link them into one shared save.

It doesn’t work – what now?

"Connection failed" or "Server unreachable"

1. Check status.megabuild.de to see whether the server is running or in maintenance.
2. Check the address for typos: megabuild.de – without www. and without https://.
3. On Bedrock: did you enter port 19132?

"Outdated client" or "Outdated server"

Your Minecraft version doesn’t match the server version. Select the currently supported version in your launcher – you’ll find which one that is on our Discord.

I still can't get in

Contact ticket support or ask on our Discord. Describe as precisely as possible:

• Java or Bedrock?
• Which version?
• Which error message appears (a screenshot helps)?
