How to join The Storm

Join The Storm from Minecraft Java or Bedrock Edition. Players on both editions share the same survival worlds. You don’t need a forum account to play.

Choose the instructions for your edition below. If you aren’t sure which edition you have, check the name on your Minecraft launcher or game title screen.

Java Edition

Section titled “Java Edition”
  1. Open Minecraft Java Edition with your Microsoft account. The server runs 26.3, and older versions can join too.
  2. Choose Multiplayer, then Add Server.
  3. Name the server The Storm and enter ts-mc.net as the address.
  4. Save it, select The Storm, and choose Join Server.

The Java multiplayer screen with The Storm in the server list and the Join Server and Add Server buttons below.

Java discovers the port automatically. If your client cannot resolve the address, enter mc.ts-mc.net:30000 instead.

Bedrock Edition

Section titled “Bedrock Edition”
  1. Open Minecraft Bedrock Edition and sign in to your Microsoft account.
  2. Open Play, then Servers, then Add Server.
  3. Name the server The Storm.
  4. Enter mc.ts-mc.net as the address and 30004 as the port, in separate fields.
  5. Save the server and join.

Use the supported Bedrock version shown on the homepage. Bedrock compatibility can differ from the Java version.

These steps work on phones, tablets and Windows. On a console? Read on.

Playing on a console

Section titled “Playing on a console”

Switch, Xbox and PlayStation only show Mojang’s featured servers, so there’s no Add Server button. You can still play with us! It takes one extra step through BedrockConnect, a free community tool that adds a server list to consoles. (It’s run by its own volunteers, not by The Storm.)

  1. Point your console at BedrockConnect. Open your console’s internet settings and set the DNS by hand:
    • Switch or Xbox: primary 104.238.130.180, secondary 8.8.8.8
    • PlayStation: primary 45.55.68.52, secondary 8.8.8.8
  2. Open the server list. Start Minecraft, go to Servers, and join a featured server like The Hive or Lifeboat. The BedrockConnect server list pops up instead.
  3. Add The Storm. Choose Connect to a Server, enter mc.ts-mc.net as the address and 30004 as the port, and turn on Add to server list so it’s there next time.

That’s it, see you at the windmill! If you want your old settings back later, set your console’s DNS back to automatic.

If the server list doesn’t pop up, the BedrockConnect page lists other addresses to try. Or have a friend join from a phone or PC, then join them from your Friends tab.

If you cannot connect

Section titled “If you cannot connect”
  • Check the homepage for Java and Bedrock status separately. During maintenance, wait for your edition to become available.
  • On Bedrock, check that the address is mc.ts-mc.net and the separate port is 30004.
  • On a console, double-check the DNS addresses above and join a featured server again.
  • On Java, try the manual address above. If an older version has trouble, try 26.3.
  • If the problem continues, ask in Discord. Include your device, edition, game version, and any error message so someone can help.

Once you arrive

Section titled “Once you arrive”

You start at the windmill with supplies, a welcome book, and 500 crystals. Open /guide for your first steps, or follow your first session.
