The reason you might be receiving the error message "Unknown Host" could be due to you trying to join a server that is only Bedrock Edition, well you're using Java Edition (or vice versa). This could also be the case when trying to connect to a premium-only server using a cracked version of Minecraft.

Disable your firewall Your operating system's firewall guards you against any risks you might encounter while using your computer. However, it occasionally flags safe files and connections incorrectly and may prevent you from accessing them.

Additionally, this occurs with third-party firewalls and antivirus software. Therefore, as a potential workaround for this solution, we advise temporarily turning off any third-party antivirus software or firewall that might be obstructing your ability to connect to the server you're trying to join, whether it be a faction server, mini-game server, or anything else you're attempting to join. Restart your router It is advised that you restart your router and give it another go if others can connect to the host's server but you are unable to.

This may seem like a very simple solution, but this is often what fixes this error. The simplest method for doing this is to just turn off your modem, wait for a few minutes, and then turn it back on.
