If Minecraft reports an outdated client or server, check the current compatibility announcement in the official Discord rather than reinstalling the game.
Do I need a whitelist or a rank?
No. Unstable SMP is a public survival multiplayer server. There is no whitelist, no application, no friend request and no minimum purchase. Any player with a legitimate Minecraft account can join with the IP above and start playing immediately.
A legitimate Minecraft Java Edition account is the only requirement. Cracked launchers, offline mode and shared logins are banned.
