How To Add Minecraft Servers To Xbox, Playstation, Switch! (Bedrock Connect)

Hey guys this is cove here today and today i’m gonna be showing you how to play custom servers on xbox playstation nintendo switch and that is obviously for minecraft um as you guys can see if you go to the servers tab it should say add server but unfortunately on the console versions of

The game it doesn’t in the ad server buttons only for mobile and pc which i think is really stupid because i mean these servers get boring the featured servers um and the reason why i’m making another tutorial on how to do this is basically the one i did before which

Was using hat was teaching you how to use mc server connector wasn’t working for some people and i think the reason why is because microsoft updated minecraft bedrock to 1.19.2 and it broke some things now for me it seems to work but for other people it doesn’t so basically guys i’m going to

Show you how to get into this i’m going to be doing the tutorial today on xbox but i want to show you guys that also you can do this on playstation nintendo switch now i don’t own a playstation i i do own a switch but i’m not going to

Show you but basically guys what we’re going to be doing is we’re going to be going to our internet settings changing dns and basically guys it should work for any platform so if you guys need a little bit of help after you watch this video i will leave a um tutorial on how

To change dns for um playstation and switch but you guys should be able to follow along with this tutorial it shouldn’t really matter it’s pretty universal now that out of the way let’s get into it so first off i want you on your console to close minecraft

So just i’m gonna quit on playstation close it switch close it it doesn’t matter now what i want you guys to do is just go over to your settings and i want you guys on your console to find your network settings on xbox you go to general network settings but it might be

Called wireless settings internet settings um it doesn’t really matter but basically click on that and now guys for xbox you’re going to have to go to advanced settings for this but basically guys what you want to be looking for is dns settings so switch has this i know

Playstation has this it’s just slightly different how to get there so like i said guys for me advanced dns you might have to go under your advanced settings or for me um it’s just right here so basically guys once you locate your dns settings click on that and it’ll either say

Automatic or manual now it’s going to be on automatic out of the box but unfortunately that’s not going to work for us so we’re going to go to manual okay guys now you’re going to get to this menu here i’m going to be linking a thing in the description it’s a website

A github page it’s called mc server connect and basically we’re changing our our dns here and the reason why we’re going to do that is basically once we change our dns it’ll allow us to add servers so basically guys there is about five or six here that you can do i’m

Going to be using the main one but if you live in a different country um i recommend using one of the other ones so this one is going to be based in america but there’s some for europe as well and that’s basically it’s going to help with

Latency and lag issues but okay guys so basically once you guys have located on the github which one you want to use if you’re in america just use the one i’m using but once you guys get that out of the way just type in um your dns so this

Is the american one so the first one is 104 238 and then it’s going to be 130 and then it’s gonna be 180 okay so once you guys do that click enter or whatever now for the second one this should be universal for what no matter what countries dns you’re using it’s

Going to be eight eight eight eight now that is google’s dns and this is just the secondary ipv4 dns it shouldn’t matter it might not even say ipv4 on your console um but just click ok now guys when that’s done um just go back to home close your settings go back to minecraft

And um let’s let load up real quick i will skip until it’s done loading okay guys so i’m almost done loading my game um it’s going to take a little bit longer but here we go guys we’re answers click play and you’re going to notice that not a lot’s different now the other

One what would happen is under your friends menu you would basically get on your server that you wanted to play with the mc server connect app but um that’s not happening here so basically what you you’re gonna do for this tutorial is you’re just gonna go to any of the

Featured servers and click join server now you may be confused it’s like well i’m going to join hive or whatever right well don’t worry basically you’re going to get this menu and you can do it on any of the feature servers you don’t have to do it on the one i just joined

Any of these servers you join it in the log the menu is going to work but guys as you can see we have a server list now this is kind of similar to how the java version works where you can either direct connect to a server and that’ll

Just give you an ip and stuff but basically what i’m going to be doing is you can go to manage server list and you can click add server and you’re going to get to this menu here so you can name what you want to be called i’m just going to call it nethergames

Because that’s what it’s called i’m going to be using play.nethergames.org and basically you can use any server you want so just input the ip here so this is kind of similar to um what it’s like when you add a server on mobile or pc what you’re

Going to need is your server ip address now if you’re using if you’re hosting your own server or you bought one or you’re hosting your friends it’s probably going to be a long strand of numbers but basically guys for me i’m going to be using a a server called play.nethergames.org as

I just mentioned so i’m just going to type that in real quick you just do it like this i’ll be back when i’m done typing this okay guys so once you’re done typing in your ip you want to make sure that the port is whatever it’s going to be so

For me it’s just going to be 19132 which is the default minecraft port if there’s not a port on the server that you’re trying to connect to it’s most likely this one but if you have a custom port or a different port you can just enter

That there so you know you can change it but for me it’s 19132 and then just click submit and then go back and click b again or triangle or whatever just to get back to this menu as you can see it shows up in the server list now i’m just going to

Click play so i’m going to click a you’re going to click x maybe it’s b or whatever it doesn’t really matter um but basically guys once you’re done with this it’s going to um have you join now for me i can click download and join it’s basically just asking for if i want

To download the texture pack for server i’m not going to do that i’m just going to click join because um personally i want to get through this in a timely manner and i know the server is quite slow so it can take a while to download

Um as you guys can probably tell though it’s gonna be kind of slow especially the first time around uh but basically guys i’m gonna time lapse through this though so i’ll be back when this is done okay guys so um it failed for me there don’t worry i think that was an issue

With the server not the software itself but again if you want to join just click anyone i’m going to do cubecraft click join again and click locate server it’ll stick you into this kind of cool little menu and i’m just going to click nether games again

And i’m going to wait again for it to load it should go pretty quick though and then basically i’m just going to click join give it a sec um as you can see this time it’s working so as you guys can see i am now in the game so um as you guys

Can see now um from the other video this is the same server and it’s pretty simple now basically um what we’re gonna do is i’m just gonna play one match to show you the lag but basically guys you’re done um that’s all you had to do

And it’s pretty much simple from here on out so basically guys i’m going to show you the lag real quick it’s pretty easy let’s just go back to bed wars i’ll do a solo basically the lag is not too bad um you are going through that guy’s server with

The dns and stuff but basically it’s still not bad at all um this is just the lobby um it seems like i’m going to be waiting here for a while but basically guys i think you guys get the point i’m in the server so from this point on i’m

Going to show you how to reconnect and basically also how to remove servers from your list if you don’t want them anymore so like again just join any feature server go back generating world loading resources and basically you’re going to get back to this list

Now what you can do from here on out is go to manage server list and let’s say i don’t want nethergames anymore i can just click on it and click submit and that will remove the server and now you can see it’s called from the menu

Now i can also just click exit server list and that will um put me back to the hub or a menu of the game direct connect or basically connect to servers just say direct connect and if you want to add it to your list you can just click that option but basically

Guys that’s it i’m going to click exit server list and basically guys that is how you play custom servers without downloading mc server connector i hope you guys enjoyed that thank you guys for watching and bye You
