-- 1.17 NOTICE -- If you have been receiving "Unable to Connect to World" since updating to 1.17, this is a bug in Minecraft, not BedrockConnect. The current workaround until Mojang fixes the bug is the following:

1. Enable local mode via the Y-button on the title screen.

2. Reenable online mode and wait until you logged into your Microsoft Account

3. Switch to the Server-Tab and choose any Server you like.

4. Wait until there's a number at Ping.

5. Connect and it should work now.

If BedrockConnect is not working, try the following:

Joining the Featured Servers still directs to the actual servers and not the serverlist...

If this happens, try the following:

  • Check if your current connected network still has the DNS settings set to the BedrockConnect IP
  • Check if the DNS is 100% correct
  • Try reloading the featured server list a couple of times, as Minecraft itself can glitch when trying to load the featured server list. In Minecraft, hit B until your back to the main screen, then go back to servers. This will reload the featured servers tab.
  • Restart your game console
  • You might have IPv6 enabled on your network, which can cause issues on Xbox and possibly other game consoles, as they don't support custom IPv6 DNS's to be set. You have two options:
    • Disable IPv6 on your router, if possible. Here's a tutorial by jbob3mm that shows how to disable this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3FhBEI55__s
    • Set the DNS directly in your router settings, using 2001:19f0:4009:4126:5400:00ff:fe22:0d52 as the primary, and 2001:4860:4860::8888 as the secondary (or any other popular DNS that supports IPv6 for the secondary)

If you're still having issues, you can try one of the other hosted BedrockConnect instances: https://github.com/Pugmatt/BedrockConnect#publicly-available-bedrockconnect-instances

Or try hosting a local instance of BedrockConnect:

It shows "Coming Soon" in the servers tab

Try signing out of your Microsoft account ingame, and signing back in.

The internet on my console is not working at all now...

If the internet on the device appears to not be connecting at all, try changing your secondary DNS to another public DNS, such as one of the following:

  • 1.1.1.1
  • 1.0.0.1
  • 8.8.4.4
  • 8.8.8.8

I'm able to get on the BedrockConnect serverlist, but retrieving a "Can't connect to world" when joining a server

  • Check if the server you're trying to join is on Java Edition. If so, you will need Geyser/GeyserConnect to join that server: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B_oPHl5gz_c
  • Check if the server you're trying to connect to is actually online or port forwarded correctly.

I'm having connection issues on PS4

The main DNS 104.238.130.180 seems to have trouble on PS4, most likely due to heavy traffic. In this case, you can try connecting to one of the other serverlist servers hosted by the community: https://github.com/Pugmatt/BedrockConnect#publicly-available-bedrockconnect-instances

I can't start BedrockConnect on a Linux server that is also running the offical Minecraft Bedrock Server

For BedrockConnect to work correctly with any consoles, it needs to run on the default UDP/IP ports of the Bedrock Server, which are 19132 for IPv4 and 19133 for IPv6.

Since around August 2019 (Server version 1.14.32.1), the Minecraft Bedrock Server software opens these ports, even though the server.properties file configures different ports.

This conflict prevents either Server (Bedrock Server or BedrockConnect) that is started later to not work at all.

This is not an error of BedrockConnect but from the Minecraft Bedrock Server, that is bug-tracked at Mojang's Jira. Watch that issue to get updates on what happens there.

While this bug is unresolved, there is NO way to run BedrockConnect on any server that has an actively running instance of the Minecraft Bedrock Server.

Will I get banned for using this tool?

This is an unofficial tool used to bypass an unsupported feature on Microsoft/Mojang's end. Use this tool at your own risk. Hundreds of thousands of players have used this service, and there haven't been any reported scenarios about anyone getting banned or systems getting bricked. That being said, nothing is guaranteed about what companies are going to do in the future, and we don't have this kind of knowledge. So use at your own risk and own discretion.

I'm having lag issues or getting disconnected when on or trying to connect to the BedrockConnect serverlist

If you're experiencing lag, or getting disconnected from the server often, the BedrockConnect serverlist server might be under heavy traffic at the time or is having trouble because of your location. In this case, you can try connecting to one of the other serverlist servers hosted by the community: https://github.com/Pugmatt/BedrockConnect#publicly-available-bedrockconnect-instances

If you're still experiencing issues, you can try hosting a local instance of BedrockConnect:
