Check the internet speed by visiting Speedtest.net and see if your internet is fast and stable enough. Next, you can try shutting down your router and turning it on after a few minutes. Also, try bring the router closer to the device for better connection.

You can also try connecting with an Ethernet cable if you are already not doing that. Also, make sure that multiple devices are not connected to the Wi-Fi you are using, otherwise, it would split the bandwidth and lead to connection issues. Method 2: The next thing you can try is changing the DNS server.

Minecraft may be facing the connection issue for the particular DNS server you are using. Try changing that and see if it fixes the problem. Press the Windows + R keys to open RUN command. Type ncpa.cpl and press Enter. Right-click on the network adapter you are using and select the Properties option.

Look for the Internet Protocol version 4 option and double-click on it. Now, select the Use the following DNS server addresses option and enter 8.8.8.8 in the Preferred DNS server section and 8.8.4.4 in the Alternate DNS server section. Click on OK to save the changes.

Method 3: If changing the DNS doesn’t work, then try running the following commands to reset the network. Type Command Prompt in the search bar and run it as administrator. Type netsh winsock reset and press Enter. Next type netsh int ip reset and press Enter. After that type ipconfig/flushdns and press Enter.

Then type ipconfig/release and press Enter. Finally, type ipconfig/renew and press Enter. Restart your PC and see if the issue gets fixed. Method 4: Another thing you can do is close any unnecessary processes running in the background that may be eating up your bandwidth, like steam updating another game.

Right-click on the Taskbar and select Task Manager. Click on the Processes tab and check the Network section to locate apps or services eating up the bandwidth. Right-click on such processes and select End Task. Method 5: The next thing you can try is disable the Windows Defender Firewall.

Your Firewall can block the game from connecting. Disabling it should solve the problem. Type Control Panel in the search bar and select the top option. Change the View By to Large Icons. Click on Windows Defender Firewall. Select the Turn Windows Defender Firewall on or off option.

Disable both the private and public network settings. Click on OK to save the changes. Try playing the game and if it now works, then your firewall was blocking it. Keeping your Firewall disabled is not recommended, so instead allow Minecraft through it to get a similar result.

Go back to the Windows Defender Firewall window and click on Allow an app or feature through Windows defender firewall option. Next, locate Minecraft among the apps and check all the boxes associated with it. Method 6: You can also try this nifty method when your Minecraft is failing to connect to your friend’s world.

Simply open Minecraft and load up any of your worlds. Let the world load and once it’s done, press escape and click on Save and Exit. After you exit the world, connect to your friend’s world. Now your friend’s world should load. So, that’s it!
