Understanding Bedrock Servers
What are Bedrock Servers?
Bedrock servers are online platforms that allow Minecraft players to connect and play together in the same world. These servers can be customized with various mods, plugins, and game modes, offering a unique experience compared to the standard Minecraft gameplay.
Adding Servers to Different Platforms
Xbox
To add a server on Minecraft Bedrock Xbox, access your control panel, locate your Server Address, open Minecraft on your Xbox, click Play, navigate to Servers, select any available server to open the server list, and then click Connect to a Server.
PS4
For PS4, the process is similar, but you might need to use an app like BedrockTogether to connect to servers, as the native Minecraft app might not support direct server addition.
PC
On the PC version of Bedrock, you can add servers directly within the game by navigating to the Servers tab and adding the server details.
Nintendo Switch
To add a server on the Nintendo Switch, follow the same steps as the Xbox and PS4, accessing the Servers tab within Minecraft.
