## Finding the IP for a Self-Hosted Minecraft Server

If you're self-hosting your Minecraft server, follow these steps to find your IP address.

2. In the command prompt, type `ipconfig /all` and hit **Enter**.
3. Look for **Default Gateway** or **IPv4 Address** — this is your server's IP.

This IP address will be used to join your self-hosted server. Otherwise, if others want to join your self-hosted server they'll join using a different IP address, which you'll need to open your web browser and search up "What's my IP" and the IP given is the IP used for others to join your self-hosted Minecraft server.

### On macOS

1. Open **System Settings** and navigate to the **Network** section.
2. Select your connection and click **Details** to see your IP address.

**OR**

1. Open **Terminal** and type `ipconfig getifaddr en0` or `ipconfig getifaddr en1`.
2. These commands will display your IP address.

## Finding the IP Address for a Minecraft Server on Console or Mobile

Finding a Minecraft server IP address on consoles or mobile devices can be challenging. Generally, you can't find the IP for servers you're playing on directly from these devices.

However, if you're self-hosting a Minecraft server on your mobile device:

1. Go to your **Network Connection Settings**.
2. Open the network you're connected to.
3. Check the **Advanced Network Settings** to locate your IP address.
