# How to join the server

***

### 💻 Step 1 – Open Minecraft

Make sure you have the **Java version** of Minecraft installed (preferably **1.21.4**).

> ⚠️ The server is not accessible from the Bedrock version (console, mobile, Windows Store).

***

### 🌐 Step 2 – Add the server

1. Launch Minecraft
2. Click on **Multiplayer**
3. Click on **Add Server**
4. Enter the following information:
   * **Server Name:** LifeSteal Dungeon
   * **Server Address:** `play.lifestealmc.fr`
   * **Recommended version:** `1.21.4`
   * **Server resource pack:** **Enabled**
5. Click on **Done**, then select the server in the list to join it ✅

***

### 📦 Step 3 – Why enable the resource pack?

The server uses a **custom resource pack** for its textures, sounds, menus and visual elements.\
Without it, some textures or sounds may be missing or incorrect.

> 🔹 It is highly recommended to leave it **enabled** to enjoy the full LifeSteal Dungeon experience.

***

### 🧩 Step 4 – Troubleshoot common issues

* **“Invalid session”** → Completely restart your game.
* **“Public key signature invalid”** → Check that you are properly signed in to your Microsoft account.
* **Instant kick** → Check that your resource pack is properly accepted.
* **Connection error** → Check your network or try again in a few minutes.
