Server address
Java: no port needed Bedrock: port 19132
How to join
- Open Minecraft: Java Edition, version 26.3 or newer.
- Select Multiplayer, then Add Server.
- Enter play.cityofnp.com as the server address and select Done.
- Select City of New Philadelphia in your server list and join.
Voice chat (optional)
Talk out loud with players near you in game. It needs the Fabric mod loader and the Simple Voice Chat mod.
- Install Fabric for Minecraft 26.3 with the Fabric installer. If you use the Modrinth App or Prism Launcher, create a Fabric 26.3 profile there instead.
- Download Simple Voice Chat for Fabric 26.3 and put the file in your .minecraft/mods folder, or your profile's mods folder.
- In the Minecraft Launcher, start the fabric-loader 26.3 profile and join the server.
- Press V to open voice chat settings and choose your microphone. Hold Caps Lock to talk, or switch to voice activation in the settings.
Voice chat is Java only. You can still join from Bedrock and console, and everyone plays in the same world.
- Open Minecraft and select Play, then the Servers tab.
- Scroll to the bottom and select Add Server.
- Enter City of New Philadelphia as the name, play.cityofnp.com as the address and 19132 as the port.
- Select Save, then join the server.
Prefer the Friends tab? Add CityofNP as an Xbox friend, and the server shows up under Joinable Friends. The Console tab has the steps.
Consoles can't add servers directly, so the server shows up as a friend's world you can join.
- Make sure you're signed in to Minecraft with your Microsoft account.
- In Minecraft, select Play, then Friends, then Add Friend. Search for CityofNP and add it.
- Wait about a minute. CityofNP adds you back automatically.
- Open Play, then Friends. Select City of New Philadelphia under Joinable Friends.
Server not showing in your Friends tab?
Use the BedrockTogether app on a phone or tablet. It makes the server appear as a local game on your console.
- Install BedrockTogether on a phone or tablet that's on the same Wi‑Fi as your console.
- Open the app and enter play.cityofnp.com as the IP and 19132 as the port.
- Select Run. The free version plays a short ad first.
- On your console, open Minecraft, select Play, then Friends, and join BedrockTogether under LAN Games.
BedrockTogether for iPhone and iPad BedrockTogether for Android
Keep the app open and your phone on the same Wi‑Fi until you've joined. BedrockTogether is a third-party app, not made by Mojang, Microsoft or the City of New Philadelphia.
