Failed to connect to the server in Minecraft

Are you facing a “Failed to connect to the server” error in Minecraft?

The next part of the error is, “Failed to log in: Invalid session”.

Next to, “Try restarting your game and the launcher”.

Generally, the error is shown in the Java Edition of Minecraft when you try to connect to a server.

The problem can occur on multiple servers—Hypixel, Mineplex, Brawl, and so on.

In this article, I will tell you how to fix the “Failed to connect to the server” error in Minecraft (Java or Bedrock edition).

Why did I fail to connect to a Minecraft server?

You failed to connect to a Minecraft server because you might be using two instances of Minecraft and the old session ID is invalidated.

The error can also occur when you’re using a cracked version of the game such as TLauncher.

Most Minecraft servers restrict the cracked players to join the server.

If you’re the owner of server and you’ve set “online-mode” to “true” in the properties of your server, it can also result in connection issues.

Otherwise, Mojang’s/Microsoft are having issues on their end that needs to be fixed.

In May, the “Failed to connect to the server” error is a prominent bug in the Mojang Studios Official Issue Tracker website.

The bug is kept in the category of a “Networking” issue: https://bugs.mojang.com/browse/MC-262264.

If the bug is the official one in the tracker, it indicates that the Mojang team is working on the issue and finding a fix.
