❌ Why Can’t I Connect to Borlock?​

Sometimes players may not be able to connect to the Borlock network. Don’t worry — most of the time the issue is simple and easy to fix. Below are the most common reasons and what you can do.



🔧 Server Maintenance​

  • What it means: The server is temporarily down while staff perform updates, bug fixes, or balance changes.
  • How to check: Look at the Announcements section on the forums/Discord for planned downtime notices.
  • What to do: Wait until maintenance is finished — the server will reopen as soon as work is done.


🌐 Wrong IP Address​

  • Correct IP: play.borlock.net
  • Make sure you typed it exactly — no extra spaces, symbols, or misspellings.
  • Double-check you’re connecting with Minecraft version 1.21.x, since older or newer versions may not work.


📶 Poor Internet Connection​

  • If your connection is unstable, you may time out or fail to log in.
  • Try restarting your router or switching to a more stable network.
  • Avoid running heavy downloads/streams while playing Minecraft.


🔒 Firewall or Security Software​

  • Firewalls, antivirus, or VPNs can block your connection to the server.
  • Try disabling them temporarily to test if they’re the cause.
  • VPN-Bypass requests can be created via support ticket, with information about the VPN you are using and why you need to use it.


🛑 Outdated Client or Mods​

  • Make sure you’re using the correct Minecraft version (1.21.x).
  • If you use mods, one of them may be interfering with your connection.
  • Try running vanilla Minecraft to test.


🚫 Account Issues​

  • If you see messages like “Banned” or “Kicked”, it may be due to a punishment on your account.
  • Check the Punishments Knowledge Base or open an appeal ticket if you believe this is an error.


📌 Quick Checklist​

  • ✅ Is Borlock under maintenance? (Check announcements.)
  • ✅ Did you type the IP correctly: play.borlock.net?
  • ✅ Are you on the correct version (1.21.x)?
  • ✅ Is your internet connection stable?
  • ✅ Do you have firewall/VPN issues?
  • ✅ Are you using unsupported mods?
  • ✅ Are you banned/muted? (Check your status.)


If you can’t connect, first check Announcements for maintenance, then confirm your setup. Most connection issues can be fixed by double-checking your IP, version, and internet.
