Hello everyone and welcome to this quick MC magic slash minecraft tutorial a lot of people over the past year or so have asked me how they can connect to MC magic and enjoy the server for themselves and I’ve decided I’m gonna make this short little video and show You exactly how it made me simple for some people but if you’re new to Minecraft or new to PC gaming in general it might be a little more complicated so what I’ve got in front of me right now is minecraft that’s what you’re gonna need downloaded and installed and running I have 1.6.4 running however this tutorial should apply regardless of the version you have and I’ll show you how you could sort of switch up your versions in a minute so first thing you’re gonna do is you’re gonna go into multiplayer and as you see here you have A list of servers now these are all servers that i’ve manually added to the multiplayer list your list when you first install the game is gonna be completely empty so like for argument’s sake let’s remove this so i’m gonna delete MC magic off of my list and i’m Gonna show you how you can connect there are two ways so the first way is direct connection you hit direct connection you put in the address MC magic dot US and you hit join server and you’ll just connect and that’ll be great however because you might want to Connect more than once you don’t want to keep putting it in over and over what you’re gonna want to do is add a server so you click add server you’re gonna give it a name and this is just a label that’ll be applied on that list that we Were looking at a second ago so I’m gonna call it MC magic main and we’re gonna put in the address which is MC magic dot in us this hide address here essentially determines whether or not this address is gonna show up on that list I mean I guess there might be a Reason you want to keep it hidden personally I don’t mind seeing the address so I leave that to off and sure enough it shows up down here it’ll tell me how many people are on it’ll give me a little description that they set on the server let the magic begin it shows You your connection ping and you can connect now again like I’ve said this is on 1.6.4 which is what my MC magic is currently running on so it allows me to connect now let’s say I was on a different version let’s say I was 1.7.2 what you would see here is the correct Version needed to connect and a little X because the server is out of date now typically we associate the term out of date in one direction only which is to say that it is older than it should be but because we have different versions here out of date essentially Means the version of Minecraft you’re running and the version of Minecraft the server is running do not match up so for instance here we have the creative server on 1.6.2 we have the build server on 1.7.2 and we have the main server on 1.6.4 so what You’re gonna need is a version that is on the same level of what you want to connect now how do you do that that’s actually also quite simple now thanks to the new minecraft Launcher so I’m gonna quit out of Minecraft and then I’m going To open it up again so I’ve got my minecraft here again this is all within minecraft so this should work whether you’re on a Mac or your PC and this is the launcher you get so this is where you would log into your account and if you have multiple accounts you would Manage that here and it gives you sort of like the patch notes here and most important part is you’ve got the play button but what’s important now is that you have profiles and so see I have a bunch of profiles here I have 1.5 1.6 1.6.2 1.7 so let’s uh create a new Profile so by default you would usually have the latest jar folder so like for instance I have 1.7 there I can go to new profile I can call it 1.7.2 right I can set my default resolution I usually keep it at 720 because a report of Record a lot and that’s the resolution I use and then here you want to go to version selection now you can allow the use of old alpha builds and beta builds if you guess you want a real like throwback you could enable snapshots which are the new and slightly unstable Versions of like upcoming versions but what’s important is that you can actually click this drop down here and select from a list of releases so you’ve got one point seven two six four six two so on and so forth so like I said minecraft runs on one point six point Four so we’re gonna change the name to one point six point four and we’re gonna pick release one point six or a point four and then when we’re done we’re gonna hit save profile and there you’ve got it you’ve got one point six point four that’s the Profile now when I click play it will open up the game running one point six point four and you could go in and you can connect and there you are you’re in MC magic and you get to play and enjoy all of the wonderful attractions and take part with this awesome community I Hope this has been helpful I hope if you had been there having trouble connecting this will help you a little bit now again a server is Nevernever I mean 24/7 they always try to be but they’ll always be downtime for this or that or upgrades things here there so if You still can’t connect without this tutorial then there’s a possibility that it’s down for whatever reason and you might want to revisit it and check but as far as a perfectly working server goes this tutorial should help you get all the way from downloading the game to Playing the game we have a fantastic week whatever you’re doing make the most of it and I will see you all next time bye everybody Video Information

A surprising amount of people have asked me over time to explain how to connect to MC Magic, so I thought it’d be useful to make a short video to explain how you can connect to the server using the new launcher and Minecraft!
