====== Play ======

Getting onto Ice Link Valley is quick, whether you're on a PC, a phone, a console, or anything in between.

===== The address =====

<WRAP box>
^ Edition ^ Address ^ Port ^
^ Java | ''icelink.info'' | ''25565'' |
^ Bedrock | ''icelink.info'' | ''19132'' (UDP) |
</WRAP>

Both editions reach the same world — a Java player and a Bedrock player join the same places and build together.

----

===== Java =====

We run Minecraft Java Edition 26.2.

  * Open **Multiplayer** → **Add Server**.
  * Name it anything you like — "Ice Link Valley" is traditional.
  * Address: ''icelink.info:25565''
  * Save and **Join**.

If the whitelist is on and your name isn't on it yet, you'll be told. Head to [[minecraft:connect#getting-whitelisted|Getting whitelisted]] below.

----

===== Bedrock =====

A Geyser bridge means Bedrock players join the same world without needing a Java account.

  * In **Play**, open the **Servers** tab (or **Friends** on console) and **Add Server**.
  * Address: ''icelink.info''
  * Port: ''19132''
  * Save and connect.

Console players (Xbox, PlayStation, Switch) sometimes need to add the server from the **Friends** tab, and a quick restart of the game can help the client notice the entry. It's a Mojang quirk, not a fault of the server.

----

===== Getting whitelisted =====

The server is whitelisted — it keeps the world to people who'll treat it well.

  * **Java:** tell MrHydrux your in-game name.
  * **Bedrock:** give us the name you use; Floodgate handles the rest on our side.

Once you're on the list, you're in from both editions.

----

===== Troubleshooting =====

  * **"Outdated server / client"?** We run 26.2; let your client match it.
  * **Bedrock won't connect?** Confirm port ''19132'' (UDP). Consoles often need the Friends tab and a restart.
  * **"Not whitelisted"?** You're not on the list yet — that's the point. See above.
