New and improved address for the server!

[Anonymous Anonymous]

Now, if you wish to connect to the server, you need not remember the legendary code of un-remeberable-ness! Simple connect using this address:

 

SHFT.dtdns.net:2014

 It is very important though that you do not forget to add the :2014 at the end. This represents the port at which you connect. 

Errors: 

You end up here

 

Spawn of other Super Happy Fun Time server

Solution: Specify the port (:2014) at the end of the address.

More Info:

You typed either SHFT.dtdns.net or SHFT.dtdns.net:25565 

(By default, Minecraft will attempt to connect via port 25565 unless otherwise specified. 25565 is the port reserved for this server)

You get this:

Failed to connect to the server

            Unknown Host

         Back to server list               

Solution: Verify that you entered the correct address AND that you are connected to the internet.

More Info:

It is most likely that you simply misspelled something in the address or that you are not connected to the internet.

It is additionally possible, although unlikely, that the Domain Name System (DNS) is currently unavailable which would result in this also.

You get this:

                            Failed to connect to the server

  java.net.ConnectException: Connection refused: no further information:

                                      Back to server list                    

Solution: Enter the correct port!

More Info:

You just entered a port that lead to no where or rather, not to a Minecraft server that is running within the network that this IP address leads to!

You get this:

                Failed to connect to the server

  Connection throttled! Please wait before reconnecting.

                          Back to server list                    

Solution: Wait before you try to reconnect to the server.

More Info: You're just trying to rejoin shortly after having joined previously.

You get this:

                                         Failed to connect to the server

  Outdated client! Please use <Insert Newest Version Of Minecraft Supported By The Server Here>

                                                 Back to server list                    

Solution: Shut Minecraft and load the latest version of Minecraft that is supported by the server.

And that's all for now! If you enjoy the new address, aesthetically obviously as it doesn't improve the connection or anything, please share the server using this address rather than the OLD address which consisted of a BUTT-LOAD of numbers so that new players could easily remember the address and join us!

Thanks a million!

That's pointless.

Pointless to help players remember the ip so we can expand? I don't think so

God you are all miserable people
At least I made an effort to help the server, so why don't you do the same with the energy you're wasting commenting those messages?

It's nice you are trying to improve things for people.  If it helps others, great.  As long as they know it's not the "official" address.

Some notes:

- Using the IP can be helpful though in cases where DNS resolution is down.  There were some times people couldn't connect to our old DNS names but using the IP directly worked.

- Another gotcha is if you use a DNS owned by someone else they could trick you, take you to a server that looks like SHFT but really isn't.  That would be an evil prank.
