  5. Enter server details
    Enter a name for your server, the IP address and the port.

    Example

  6. Save
    Click Save. Your server will now appear in the list and you can join it.

On console (Xbox, PlayStation, Switch)

Consoles do not allow you to add custom server IPs directly. Using a DNS trick (BedrockConnect) you can redirect the "Featured Servers" list so that you can enter your own IP.

Warning

This changes your DNS settings. Note down your current values beforehand in case you want to restore them later.
