By default, the world will have started automatically with the default settings on the latest version of Minecraft. To join your server, use the IP address and port provided on the dashboard. If you're using Fabric, it's very likely you will be wanting to install some mods. For the purpose of this guide, we will be using CurseForge to locate the Fabric modpacks: https://curseforge.com/minecraft.
