Bedrock

·

Nov 1, 2024

If you would like to join a Minecraft Pocket Edition (Bedrock Edition) server, there are a few things to consider:

  • The server must be running any Minecraft Pocket/Bedrock Edition server type.

  • Have Minecraft: Pocket Edition installed on a supported platform e.g. Windows 10, Mobile Devices (NOTE: Xbox, PlayStation, and Windows 8.1 devices do not support joining servers via IP).

  • Your Minecraft: Pocket Edition application must be the same version that the server runs on. You can find the version on the bottom-right corner of the application.

How to Identify Your Server Address (IP & Port)

To get started, you need to identify the IP address of the server you want to join. If you own a Shockbyte server, you can find your server address on your Control Panel. This will be labeled as IP Address.

A Minecraft server's IP address as seen in the Shockbyte Panel.

In the example above, the server address is 192.168.2.1:12345. Breaking this down, the Server IP is the set of numbers before the : symbol, and after this are the last five numbers which are the Server Port.


How to Connect to Your Pocket / Bedrock Edition Server

Now that you have the server address, you're ready to join the server by following the steps below:

Step 1:

On the Minecraft Bedrock Edition application, press the Play button.

Clicking Play on Minecraft: Bedrock Edition to join a world.
Step 2:

Navigate to the Servers tab.

Opening the servers tab on Minecraft: Bedrock edition to join a Shockbyte server.
Step 3:

On the Servers tab, press the Add Server button.

Step 4:

Enter your Server Name, Server Address, and Port.

Step 5:

Press Play to quickly join the server. You may also select Save to add the server to the servers list.

Step 6:

You're done! You can now play on a Minecraft Bedrock (Pocket Edition) server.
