How do I find the IPv4 address of a Minecraft server (e.g us.mineplex.com, mc.hypixel.net)?

I need to do this because I am testing something for my own server.

Simple!!! Just open up a command line (doesn't matter which operating system.) and type

C:\ ping (your server address here)

That should work!

It might be worth adding that ping will output a bunch of stuff, including the IP of your server (it'll look like (your server address here) [(the IP)]). – QPaysTaxes yesterday

Another alternative is to use nslookup which queries the name directly from DNS:

C:\> nslookup google.com
Server:  UnKnown
Address:  2601:647:4a03:6e2b:9610:3eff:fe0e:6c13

Non-authoritative answer:
Name:    google.com
Addresses:  2607:f8b0:4005:801::200e
          216.58.194.174

This shows the IPV6 address followed by the IPV4.

This should be the accepted answer, not the one using ping. For obvious reasons ... – Num Lock yesterday

@NumLock I doubt it's obvious for a significant portion of the userbase here. Feel free to elaborate. – Mast 20 hours ago

@Mast seeing the IP from using ping is a side-effect of the command, whereas using getting the IP from nslookup is the intended purpose of the command. – Spork 18 hours ago

@Spork Just to play devil's advocate on that point, more people are likely to have used/heard of ping than nslookup, and thus would be more likely to remember it next time they need it (rather than having to look it up again). So if they both do the job, it's useful that they're both presented. Ultimately though, I agree... nslookup is the canonical tool for the job. – glibdud 16 hours ago
    
Maybe more people know how to dig, so they will remember dig more easily than ping and nslookup. Dig is also shorter. – v7d8dpo4 15 hours ago
