How to Fix the "Connection Timed Out" Error

1. Log in to your PixelHost server panel and click on your server.

2. Locate the IP Address and/or Subdomain section.

3. Copy the address and open Minecraft. Go to Multiplayer.

4. Click on Direct Connection and paste the address into the Server Address field. Test with both the IP address and the subdomain.

⚠️ Common Issue: Sometimes, the copied address may contain extra spaces. Make sure to copy it correctly.

Restart Your Minecraft Server

1. Navigate to your server panel and select your server.

2. Click on Restart and wait for it to fully load. Confirm it has fully loaded by checking for the Server Started message in the Console.

3. Once it’s loaded, try joining the server.

   ⚠️ Common Issue: Some players forget to confirm that the server has fully started before attempting to join. Be patient! 😉

Mod Solutions

2. Install the mod on your server from the panel.
