How to Join Servers on Nintendo Switch (Minecraft Bedrock)

What is going on gamers it is Jay Bob here back again with another tutorial showing you guys how to join servers on minecraft bedrock edition if you haven’t guessed already today I’m gonna be showing you how to do this on the Nintendo switch I have here my Nintendo

Switch light and yeah I’m basically just got this recording off of a camera currently it’s literally the most janky setup I’ve ever had for recording a video so hopefully this works okay I know the focus is gonna be a little bit off but hopefully if you guys bear with

Me I can show you guys how to join servers here so first things first I am going to go ahead and close out of my minecraft by hitting the X and then closing out the software so it’s going to go ahead and close and then we’re gonna head over into our settings now

That we’re in our settings we’re gonna come down to our internet and we’re gonna open up our internet settings once we open up our internet settings it’s going to load all the different Wi-Fi networks that we can connect to you’re going to want to go ahead and find your

Network so this is mine up here I have all of these blurred out probably because I don’t want you guys know what my Wi-Fi is but basically once you open that up the one that you use your network you want to come down to change settings here and once you’re in the

Change settings you’re gonna want to head on down to the DNS settings right here and you’re gonna go ahead and open that up and we’re gonna change this from automatic to manual now we’re gonna go ahead and set our primary DNS here I guess we’re just gonna go ahead and get

Back through all of these and I’ll go ahead and type out the number here alright oh I got all the numbers typed in here I’m doing my best to try and get them in focus but I’ll go ahead and throw the numbers up on screen in the

Editing process here but yeah I’ll go and read the numbers off as well it’s 104 dot 2 3 8.1 3 0.180 so hopefully you guys get that I do think the dots are required so go ahead and type those in with all of these these numbers but

We’re gonna go ahead and hit OK and we’re gonna change our secondary DNS here so we’re going to open this up and this is literally just going to be 888 I think if that’s that makes sense 8.8.8.8 yeah yeah and once you got that for your secondary DNS you should be

Good so we’re gonna go ahead and hit the Save button here I’m trying my best to get this to focus it’s it’s kind of finicky but yeah we’re gonna hit save which is right here and the settings are being saved and yeah we should be ready

To rock and roll make sure we’re still connected yeah all still good so now what I’m gonna go ahead and do is I’m gonna load back on to minecraft and hopefully we can see that we can join some servers as you can see here I am

What’s up guys behind the camera oh yeah we’re gonna open up minecraft alright so here we are in minecraft I don’t know if you have to be signed into your Microsoft account but I do think you will if you do want to play online on the servers so yeah sign into a

Microsoft account if you haven’t already and yeah let’s just go ahead and head over to the servers page and see if this worked alrighty guys so I finally got all of our featured servers loaded up here took a few times I had to go back to the home screen and reload the

Servers page a few times to actually get it to pull up here but we did get all of our featured servers pulled up in here and as you can see all of them say join to open servers list so yeah you basically want to click on

Any of these that say that I don’t think it works on the hive but the rest of these it should work I recommend using mineplex it’s the one that usually works the most and has the least amount of bugs but yeah go ahead and hop on to one

Of these and hopefully we’ll get on to our custom server here that way you can then jump off onto other servers and here we go awesome so we did make it to our custom server and as you see we can still join all of our featured servers

Here’s my server stupid craft but yeah if you guys want to add a server to this list or join a server all you got to do is come here to the top connect to a server and it looks like we got a little glitch it didn’t work this time so we’ll

All we have to do if this happens is you just back out of the server you might have to save and quit here okay so we’ll give that one more try we’ll hop back on to mineplex that’s just how the server works sometimes sometimes it bugs out and other times it doesn’t but

Usually it does work so yeah just got to be a little bit patient with it and give it some time to do a little bit of processing and stuff like that but here we go again let’s go ahead and try and connect to a server and as you can see

We can type in our server IP as well as the port and here’s a little option to add it to our server list I’m just gonna go ahead and hop on my server stupid craft to see make sure everything is working here but yeah if you guys are

Interested in joining my server it is a survival server where you can basically just do whatever you want it’s a yeah it’s pretty cool there’s a lot of you guys who play on it and a lot of people really enjoy it so I would highly recommend checking it out if you are

Interested in to playing on some survival servers it’s pretty dang cool and if you guys are again interested all of the info is linked down below in my discord server so if you guys join the discord server you can get all of the info but yeah here we are on my server

Stupid craft and as you can see we’re just playing around out your game in got the big stupid craft sign and yeah that’s that’s basically it guys this is how you can join servers here on the Nintendo switch but yeah guys hopefully you guys did have some success and got

This working and are able to play on servers here on the Nintendo switch minecraft bedrock I do want to go over a few more things in case some of you guys are having trouble with this and haven’t got it working yet these are basically just some troubleshooting tips and

Tricks that might help you guys out if you if you don’t have it working yet basically just update your minecraft make sure it’s fully up-to-date to the newest version as well as your Nintendo switch system make sure everything’s up to date and you’re running the newest version double check to make sure that

You are you know connected to the internet and you have the DNS settings properly entered from exactly what I’ve showed here in this video because even one number typos can mess it up and make it not work so just double-check that make sure you got the primary and secondary dns settings properly entered

Double check to make sure that you’re signed in to your Microsoft account on minecraft double-check to see if the server you’re actually wanting to join is still online and open to join I know some servers sometimes get whitelisted or down for updates for a little bit or just go

Offline in total if the server gets like shut down ever or anything like that so maybe reach out or contact anyone who works for or on the server and just make sure that it is still up as well this is kind of like one that’s a little bit

More complicated I went over it really well in my xbox video so I’ll have that linked down below if you do need extra help with this but basically with your network and how it’s set up you want to make sure your network is using ipv4 and not ipv4 and ipv6 or just

Ipv6 this is basically just some some networking stuff that you’ll actually have to change in your router settings this would probably be the last thing that I would recommend checking because it does require a little bit of extra work I would recommend looking up how to

Check to see if your router is using ipv4 or ipv6 and just kind of do some research on that and how to change that for your specific router as many people have different routers and yeah it’s just kind of different for everyone so I’ll have my xbox video timestamps

Linked in the description to that part where I can kind of show you on the Xbox as on the Xbox it actually shows the ipv4 and ipv6 stuff whereas the switch does not but yeah you do need ipv4 and you cannot be using ipv6 it will not

Work for for this method so yeah I just wanted to point that out as well and if you guys do need any help or anything have any questions with this tutorial just leave me a comment down in the the comments down below and I’ll do my best

To try and help you guys with any issues you may have if you would do me a favor if you are needing help just give me a little bit of information don’t just say it don’t work or this doesn’t work because I want to help you guys but I

Don’t really know where you’re at if you say it doesn’t work like it kind of helps to know if you guys you know got it working on minecraft where you can get to the server page and you’re not a to connect to a server or if the DNS

Settings aren’t working at all like just let me know kind of where you’re at with any issues you may have and anything you may be experiencing but yeah guys I think that’s basically gonna be it for today’s video with this switch adjoining servers method now hopefully this was

Helpful again if you have any questions leave them in the comments and join my discord if you’re interested in joining my server stupid craft but yeah guys that is going to be it for today’s video this has been Jay Bob and I’ll see you guys in the next one gyah Bob out
