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:

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

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

  1. Navigate to the Servers tab.
