⚔️Getting Started with Minecraft (Java & Bedrock)

Welcome to the world of blocks! 🌍 Witchly makes it incredibly easy to host your own Minecraft world, whether you are playing on PC (Java) or Console/Mobile (Bedrock). Our servers come pre-configured

⚠️ No Egg Switching: At Witchly, we optimize our hardware for specific games. If you want to change your server type (e.g., from Java to Bedrock), please contact support. To change versions (e.g., 1.20 to 1.21), you can simply replace the server.jar in your File Manager.

🐛 Troubleshooting 🩺

Can't connect? Don't rage-quit just yet.

• "Connection Refused": Make sure the server status is green and says Online.

• "Invalid Session": Restart your Minecraft Launcher; this is usually a Mojang authentication error.

• Whitelist Issues: If you have the whitelist turned on, make sure to add yourself via the console using /whitelist add YourUsername.

💡 Pro Tip: If your server is lagging, check the Resources tab. If your RAM usage is hitting 100%, consider upgrading your plan or removing heavy plugins!
