Can't Connect To Minecraft Server

Restarting is a simple but effective solution that helps you fix connection issues and other device-related issues.
So, restart your router and modem as the first step in troubleshooting this server connection problem.

Turn off the devices and unplug their power cables from them.
Wait for a few minutes and then turn on the router followed by the modem.

Now, check if you’re able to connect to the server. If you can’t connect to the Minecraft server again, try the next method given below.

Locate and select the Settings option (it looks like a gear).

Here, you can find the Sign out of your Microsoft Account button. Select it to sign out of your account.

Select Sign Out again on the confirmation screen.

Now, you will be signed out of your Minecraft account.

Select the Sign In option on the main screen of Minecraft to re-sign in to your account.

You can do them using the Command Prompt app installed on your Windows computer.

Now, run the ipconfig /flushdns command followed by ipconfig /renew in the opened window.
