Joining The World (Without Voice chat)

It is important to follow these steps to join the server since the server is run on an older version of Minecraft (1.15.2). Starting the game without selecting the correct version of Minecraft will prohibit you from joining the server.

You will only have to follow these steps once, when you first join!

  1. Open the Minecraft launcher but do not press play. You will see the following window. In the top menu, click the “Installations” button.

  2. Create a installation by clicking "New".

  3. Give the new installation a name (for example “Imperial Virtual World”), and from the version drop-down menu select “release 1.15.2”. Leave everything else unchanged and press “Create”.

  4. You should now see your new installation in the list. Press the “Play” button in the top menu to return to the main screen.

  5. Select the installation that you just created from the drop-up menu and click “Play”. Minecraft will open. Make sure that before you enter the game you are connected to the Imperial VPN as instructed in the steps above.

  6. Select "Multiplayer" then select "Add Server".

  7. Input a server name of your choice and the IP address and port of the world that you wish to join (for now 146.169.42.75:25565). Press “Done”.

  8. Double-click on the server that you just added. You will now enter the Imperial College Virtual World, enjoy!
