Verify Installation

The Minecraft server can be accessed only after the Compute Instance is provisioned. Thus, you need to wait for the installation to complete before you can start using it.

How to use the Minecraft Server?

• When a player wants to connect to your server, they have to use the Connection URL provided by Spheron under Port Policy Info for Port 25565.
• If you are the host, you can connect to it by entering the same Connection URL.
