Use MultiMC or Prism Launcher to connect - ensure you’re using Beta 1.7.3, not the release version. (Toggle the “betas” filter and select “b1.7.3” when creating your instance)

Once you are whitelisted, the server is accessible at oldschoolmc.live:25566

Whitelist application is here (After submitting, you should be whitelisted within 12-24 hours, if not sooner)

      I think me and Rick figured out what happened. Make sure you’ve selected b1.7.3 in Prism/MultiMC when creating your instance… This requires toggling the “betas” filter.

      After testing, I get the exact same error messages you did when attempting to connect from r1.7.3, which you most likely selected in MultiMC accidentally when creating your instance.

      (The original connection issues you had with the official launcher were just because it does NOT play well with old versions of Minecraft.)

      What error are you getting? Me and Rick were just playing earlier, make sure you’re using 1.7.3 and put in the full address - “oldschoolmc.live:25566”

              I’m asking because the IP this Minecraft server uses used to belong to a Tor exit (operated by me a while back). It retains permanent bans in a few countries after that.

              Also, please try pinging oldschoolmc.live and visiting it in your browser (should display a landing page)

                I’m able to reach the landing page. I have read the rules over there and I also copy pasted the address from that site just to make sure everything was correct.

                I wouldn’t be surprised if my ISP was pulling some strings though.

                I live in Florida and I have Spectrum as my internet provider.
