How to a minecraft server?

If you are looking to join a server, find a server list from online and pick a server that you would like to try or join, get the server IP and then click direct connect on your minecraft, and put in the IP address to the server and click join, If you'd like to continue playing at a server for an extended period, click add server, then name it and put in the server IP. After you add it all you have to do is click the name of the server and click join.
