When i'm trying to add a IPv6 Server, i cant click on "save".
(Screenshot 1, mc1.png)
When i'm trying to connect directly to the IPv6, i get as response:
"java.net.SocketException: Protocol family unvailable"
(Screenshot 2, mc2.png)
Sometimes it crashes while trying to use IPv6:

IPv6 addresses contain brackets?

Yep, as for example to a IPv6 Webside, you have to enter
http://[2001:41d0:8:4f96::1]/
instead of
http://2001:41d0:8:4f96::1/

Similar related issue found on MCForums
Basically, if you add a server using a hostname (minecraft.example.org) that has an AAAA record, it will add it successfully. If you try adding it using the IP it doesn't work. When you type in the IP, the 'Add' button is greyed out.
Using the 'Direct Connect' button works fine with an IPv6 formatted address.

So, i was trying to connect over a IPv6 AAAA Record Domain:
minecraft.pauschi.de [2001:41d0:8:4f96::1]
Getting a "Can't resolve hostname" response.
When im using chrome, the website works.

On Linux (Ubuntu 12.10 64bit) with IcedTea (OpenJDK) "Direct Connect" works, but "Add Server" doesn't.
The direct connect issue seems to be in Sun Java, the add server one in the Minecraft code.

Oh, k.
Im under Windows 8, 64bit.
Fixed.
The 'protocol family unavailable' is just what it says; you cannot make outgoing ipv6 connection without having an interface support it.

Thank you.
So in the newer version (1.5+), i can use IPv6 to connect to minecraft Servers right?

If your network interface supports it, yes.

Hello.
Downloaded the 1.4.5 Client.
Still unable to connect to Minecraft Server over IPv6, but all other IPv6 Services (IRC, HTTP) working well.

IPv6 Ips contain brackets to distinguish between the :s from the Ip adress (e.g.: 1337:21db:6:9000::e) and the Port identifier (:<enter-port-here>)

So whats the correct format for this?
2001:41d0:8:4f96::1
default port

I think it's [2001:41d0:4f96::1]

add, [-brackets around it. Mojira made a link out of my brackets

Well, i tried it! Not working 😞

okay, I don't know the exact syntax. I just thought it might have been like that.
Learning by doing. Know we know that it doesn't work like that

IPv6 addresses usually jus take the format of 2001:41d0:4f96::1. The brackets generally only are used when specifying a port, ej: [2001:41d0:4f96::1]:59382

Is this fixed yet?
