How to join DiploSMP

Takes about a minute. No mods, no launcher, no whitelist application.

Step by step

1. Open Minecraft Java Edition and check your version is 26.2. Older versions will be rejected at the connect screen.
2. Multiplayer → Add Server.
3. Server Name: anything you like. Server Address: DiploSMP.com
4. Done, then double-click DiploSMP in your list.

Do I need mods?

No. DiploSMP runs server-side mods that render to a plain vanilla client, so everything — shops, claims, menus — works without installing anything.

If you already run Fabric or a pack like Fabulously Optimized, that works too. Nothing on the server requires or rejects a modded client.

Bedrock, console or mobile?

Not supported. DiploSMP is Java Edition only. Bedrock clients — Windows 10/11 edition, Xbox, PlayStation, Switch, iOS and Android — cannot connect.

If it will not connect

• "Outdated client" or "Outdated server" — your Minecraft version is not 26.2. Change it in the launcher's Installations tab.
• "Can't resolve hostname" — the address is mistyped. It is DiploSMP.com. If it still will not resolve, try mc.diplosmp.com instead.
• Connection timed out — usually a local network or firewall issue. Try again, then check whether other servers work.

First things to do in game
