I have had Minecraft for awhile now, but have only done single player things, never multiplayer. I wanted to try out multiplayer, so I clicked "Multiplayer" but when I tried connecting to any servers, it would not let me, always: "Failed to connect to the server. Connection timed out: connect." If you have any suggestions, please tell me.
It may be that your connections are just timing out. Try refreshing the multiplayer a few times after it happens. If that doesn't work, just redo everything Minecraft on your computer ( delete / elimnate ).
Useless things, the concept of our minds.
