Looking for the quickest way to connect to our vast survival world? This page provides all the technical details, connection methods, and geographic ping information you need to successfully join the OdlySMP Minecraft server. If you are experiencing connection issues or want to optimize your gameplay experience for PVP or building, review the details below. Our infrastructure is designed to provide high-performance, low-latency gameplay for players around the world.
Primary Connection IP:
play.odlysmp.orgOdlySMP is natively running on the latest stable release of Minecraft, but we employ advanced protocol abstraction (ViaVersion framework) to allow cross-compatibility. You can connect to our server using any Java Edition client from version 1.8 to the latest 1.20.x updates. However, for the most optimal experience, including full access to new blocks, biomes, and custom features without visual glitches, we strongly recommend logging in using the native 1.20.1 version. Bedrock Edition (Mobile/Console) connectivity is currently under active development.
Our dedicated hardware is physically hosted in Frankfurt, Germany. This central European location offers exceptional, low-latency ping times for players across the UK, Europe, and Western Asia. North American players on the East Coast can typically expect highly playable ping ranging from 80ms to 110ms. If you are experiencing high latency or "lag" when connecting to play.odlysmp.org, we recommend restarting your local router, closing background bandwidth-heavy applications, or experimenting with DNS flushing (`ipconfig /flushdns` on Windows) to find a more direct route to our European data center.
We do not use cheap, shared hosting providers. OdlySMP runs on powerful, dedicated bare-metal infrastructure. Featuring enterprise-grade AMD Ryzen processors, heavily optimized NVMe SSD storage pools, and large allocations of DDR5 ECC memory, our servers are specifically tuned to handle hundreds of concurrent players, massive redstone contraptions, and fast-paced Elytra flight without the server TPS (Ticks Per Second) dropping below a perfect 20.0. Our automated Anti-DDoS mitigation ensures the IP remains online 24/7, safeguarding your progress.
If you receive an "Unknown Host" error when trying to connect to the IP address above, double-check that you have typed it correctly without spaces. If you see a "Disconnected" or "Failed to verify username" message, ensure you are using a legitimate, premium Minecraft account and restart your game launcher. If issues persist, please screenshot the error message and join our Discord community link from the homepage to open a support ticket.
