[Guide] How to join any hosted server in the most painless way (not for hosting and setting up a server)

Grassclipper X

Disclaimer: This guide assumes that you have correctly followed the previous guide about setting up a server. You should worry about this if you're hosting the server with Grasscutter. You don't have to worry about this if your friend is the one inviting you to their server for multiplayer play or if you're joining a publicly-hosted server managed by someone else.

Step 1: Download and extract the latest release of Grassclipper X.
Step 2: Launch Grassclipper X in the extracted folder.

Step 3: Click on the Settings icon to the left of the minimize icon, choose the game executable (not the launcher, usually is under ./GenshinImpactGame in the game root folder), and enter the server IP and the port.

If you're hosting the server and playing on the same device or on the same network (this is called local play for short), the default IP should be localhost (or 127.0.0.1) with port 443. You can change this by editing config.json in your server root directory, though if you leave everything as it is, it should work as always.

Step 4: Tick "Custom server," hit "Play," and enjoy!

Furthermore, there might be issues with the firewall, so turn it off or add exclusions for outbound and inbound blocking. Also, this:
