Create your Aloft server today!

Aloft is a breathtaking survival game set among floating islands, where you and your friends can build, explore, and thrive together. If you've already created your own server, the next step is connecting to it. This guide will walk you through the process in a clear and simple way.
Preparation: What You Need to Know
Depending on whether your server is public or private, there are two different ways to join it.
Private Server
If the server is set to "invite-only" mode, you'll need a Friend Code. You can find this code in your server management panel, usually on the Overview tab.
Public Server
If your server is public, you only need to know its name, which you entered during setup.
Important: Make sure the server is fully online — the control panel should display a green status and say “Server Online.”
Steps to Join an Aloft Server
Launch Aloft and wait for the main menu to load.
If you haven’t already created a character, do so now. This is required to unlock multiplayer mode.
In the main menu, select "Multiplayer", then click on "Join Game."
Now, depending on your server type:
#### For Public Servers:
Ensure the region dropdown is set to the same region where your server is hosted.
Look for your server by its name in the list of available servers.
Click it and then select "Join Game."
#### For Private Servers:
Enter the 6\-digit Friend Code you received from the server owner.
Click "Join Game" to connect.
Once you've joined, you’re ready to gather your friends, build sky bases, explore mysterious islands, and survive together in the skies of Aloft.
