How to join a Minecraft Bedrock server
Every server on this list runs Minecraft Bedrock Edition — the version on Windows, Android, iOS, Xbox, PlayStation and Nintendo Switch. Bedrock servers do not work with Minecraft: Bedrock Edition's sibling, the PC-only Java Edition; the two editions cannot join each other.
1. Copy the address
On any server card, click the grey box to copy the address. Note the port next to it — Bedrock needs it in a separate field.
2. Add it in-game
Launch Minecraft → Play → Servers tab → scroll to the bottom → Add Server. Fill in Server Name (anything you like), Server Address and Port, then Save.
3. Join
The server appears at the bottom of the Servers tab with a live player count. Select it
and press Join Server. The default Bedrock port is 19132, but plenty of
servers use a different one — always copy the port shown on the server page.
Consoles
Xbox, PlayStation and Switch hide the Add Server button. Players normally reach custom servers there by pointing the console's DNS at a third-party service. That is outside what Mojang supports, so treat any such guide with care.
Why some servers ask for a Microsoft account
Bedrock authenticates through Xbox Live, so there is no "cracked" mode the way Java has. Every player needs a Microsoft account, which is free.
