# How to join?

Here you will find a tutorial how to join other Cardanians in the CardaCraft Virtual World.

## Connection info

**IP**: mc.cardaport.io

**Version**: 1.21.1

## Launchers

As CardaCraft is a Minecraft server, you need a Minecraft launcher. CardaCraft supports **both** official Minecraft Launcher and cracked launchers *(e.g. SKLauncher)*.

### Minecraft Launcher

Here you can see how to connect with the official Minecraft Launcher.

### 1. Select the version matching the CardaCraft server

The Minecraft server will be kept up-to-date, so 99% of the time you can just select **Latest Release** as the version number.

After a new Minecraft release, it takes a few days to update the server. If the CardaCraft server does not run at the newest version, in the meantime, you will have to select the correct version in the **Installations** tab.
