ws://<server-address>:<port>/eaglercraft | Step | Action | |------|--------| | 1. Find a server | Browse the community list ( eaglercraft.com/servers ) or ask on Discord/Reddit. | | 2. Copy the WebSocket URL | Example: ws://play.my-eaglercraft-server.com:25565/eaglercraft | | 3. Open the client | Click and paste the URL. | | 4. Connect! | You’ll be placed directly into the world, just like the desktop edition. | Note : Some servers require a password or whitelist . The client UI will prompt you for a password if needed. 6. Troubleshooting Common Issues | Symptom | Likely Cause | Fix | |---------|--------------|-----| | Blank canvas / “WebGL not supported” | Browser hardware acceleration disabled, or outdated GPU drivers. | Enable hardware acceleration, update graphics drivers, or try a different browser. | | “Failed to load resources” | Missing texture pack or wrong folder structure. | Ensure resources.zip is in the right location, or use the built‑in fallback (plain colors). | | Laggy or choppy rendering | Too many draw calls / low‑end device. | Lower the render distance in settings, disable shaders, or switch to the “Low‑Performance” mode (if the client offers it). | | Unable to connect to a server | Wrong WebSocket address or server down. | Double‑check the URL, confirm the server is online, and verify port accessibility (firewall may block). | | “Script blocked by CSP” (Content Security Policy) | Hosting the client on a site with restrictive CSP headers. | Add script-src 'self' 'unsafe-inline' https://cdn.jsdelivr.net; to your server’s CSP, or host on a more permissive platform. | 7. Where to Find Community & Support | Platform | Link | |----------|------| | Discord | https://discord.gg/eaglercraft – active chat for server listings, mod help, and bug reports. | | Reddit | r/Eaglercraft – weekly updates, user‑made texture packs, and screenshots. | | GitHub Issues | https://github.com/Eaglercraft/Eaglercraft/issues – report bugs or request features directly to the developers. | | YouTube Tutorials | Search “Eaglercraft 1.8 tutorial” for visual guides on setup, modding, and server creation. | 8. Final Thoughts Eaglercraft 1.8 offers a surprisingly faithful recreation of the classic Minecraft experience without the need for a heavyweight Java install. Because the project is open‑source, you can run it on almost any device, host it yourself, or even tweak the code to add your own quirks.
