You need Minecraft Bedrock Edition (the version on iPad, Switch, Xbox, PlayStation, or Windows).
You need to be signed in to a free Microsoft / Xbox Live account in Minecraft.
Steven needs to add your gamertag to the allowlist before you can connect — text or message him your exact gamertag first.

If You Can't Connect
"Couldn't connect to the world" — most likely you're not on the allowlist yet. Message Steven your exact gamertag.
"Server outdated / client outdated" — update Minecraft on your device.
Address rejected — make sure you typed winter-stick.gl.at.ply.gg exactly (no spaces, no http://) and the port is 55838.
Server not responding — Steven may have it turned off. Try later or ping him.
