How to Quickly Find and Join your Eco Server In-Game

This guide will show you how to quickly find and join your Eco server.

Find Your Server By Name

Set Your Server Name

We highly recommend that you change the default name for your new Eco server, in order to make it easier to find in the game listings. You can do that directly on the Nodecraft control panel, by going to the "Game Settings" section of the control panel.

Enter your server name in the "Server Name" field, and then save the changes at the bottom of the screen.

Start up Eco

Start up the Eco game client, and wait for the main title screen to appear. Then click on the "New Game" option.

Click on the "Browse All" button

The "New Game" button opens up the "Recommended" server listings, which appear on several tabs. The game decides which servers appear in the "Recommended" listings, according to a set of criteria such as title, completeness of description, etc.

To see a full listing of servers, click on the "Browse All" button in the upper right corner. There you can search for servers by name.

Join by IP Address

You can also find and join your server by using the IP address. Click on the "Your Worlds" option on the main title screen for the game.

When this following screen appears, click on the green button with the white plus sign on it, as shown in the screenshot below:

Rejoining Your Server in the Future

Once you've actually played on a server, you can skip all of these steps, and simply click on the "Your Worlds" option of the main title screen. There you will see any servers you've played on recently listed. Simply click on one to select it, and then right side of the screen will fill in with details.

Then click the "Join" button to go to your server!
