How to Join a Minecraft Pocket/Bedrock Edition Server
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 in 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 labelled as IP Address.
In the example above, the server address is 51.81.22.8:59929. 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:
- On the Minecraft Bedrock Edition application, press the Play button.
- Navigate to the Servers tab.
- On the Servers tab, press the Add Server button.
- Enter your Server Name, Server Address, and Port.
- Press Play to quickly join the server. You may also select Save to add the server to the servers list.
You're done! You can now play on a Minecraft Bedrock (Pocket Edition) server.
