58.09 -> A normal Up & Download speed, without interruption is important to have a stable gaming experience.

76.22 -> your system.

77.69 -> Or turn off your VPN while in-game.

139.7 -> Use the command: ping google.com

143.62 -> This command will check your latency and packet loss to google's servers.

180.49 -> your ISP and make sure that you are using a decent data plan.

186.14 -> You can troubleshoot this step by switching your connection to your personal hotspot for

190.81 -> example.

239 -> use : 8.8.8.8 and as your Alternate DNS server, use: 8.8.4.4.

248.2 -> This will for a lot of users fix server errors and other problems for Minecraft, as these

254.049 -> are the official public DNS server addresses from Google, which are safe to use.

260.019 -> To further troubleshoot network related problems, I suggest updating your Network Adapter’s

265.78 -> driver.

266.95 -> To do so, search for Device Manager in your start menu search to open it up.

320.95 -> running on your system which is hindering you from playing Minecraft.

324.89 -> To fix this, I suggest ending processes from running in your Task Manager of recently installed

331.819 -> programs which can change your files, or use up your available resources, such as OBS,

339.85 -> Shadowplay, CCleaner or Adobe applications to troubleshoot which program is causing the
