How to join your Minecraft Bedrock server
On PC, phone or tablet
- 1
Update Minecraft to the newest version. Bedrock only joins servers on the same version.
- 2
On Windows, iPhone, iPad or Android, click Play, open the Servers tab and choose Add Server.
- 3
Type any name, then enter
203.0.113.24as the server address and19132as the port. - 4
Click Save, then pick the server in the list to join.
On Xbox, PlayStation or Switch
- 1
One time only: in your console's network settings, set Primary DNS to
23.254.128.180and Secondary DNS to8.8.8.8. Where to find it on Xbox, PlayStation and Switch. - 2
Open Minecraft, go to the Servers tab and join The Hive. The GamezServers menu opens instead.
- 3
Choose Join with a code or IP, type the join code from your invite in the first box and press Submit. Leave the port as it is.
- 4
You are in. The server is saved in that menu, so next time you open The Hive and pick it.
Common problems
IP and port go in separate boxes
Bedrock asks for the Server Address and the Port separately. Put only the numbers before the colon in Server Address, and the number after the colon in Port. Leaving the port at 19132 is the most common reason a server will not connect.
"Outdated server" or "Outdated client"
Bedrock only connects when your game and the server run the same version. Update Minecraft from your app store. If the server is the older one, the owner restarts it: it moves to the newest Minecraft version every time it starts. Still outdated after a restart? The owner clicks Update game once.
Asked to trust the server
Minecraft asks the first time you join a server. Accept to join. You are not asked again after the server restarts.
Why consoles need the DNS step
Microsoft, Sony and Nintendo only let consoles open the featured servers, so there is no Add Server button. Our DNS makes a featured server open the GamezServers menu instead, where your join code takes you straight in. Set DNS back to Automatic any time to play the real featured servers again.
Console still opens the real Hive
The DNS change has not taken yet. Check Primary DNS reads 23.254.128.180, then fully close Minecraft (on Switch, restart the console) and try again.
"You are not invited to this server"
The allowlist is on and your Gamertag is not on it. Ask the owner to add you with Allowlist player, typing your Gamertag exactly, spaces included.
On Java Edition?
Java Edition players cannot join a Bedrock server. For Java and Bedrock players together, run a Java server with Geyser instead.
Server not responding
Make sure the server is online. Servers sleep after 4 days with nobody playing, and anyone with access can start them again from the dashboard in one click.
Use the server address
Do not use localhost, 127.0.0.1 or your own IP from a home hosting guide. Copy the exact address of the server.
No port forwarding or firewall changes
Opening ports on your router is only for hosting a server at home, so there is nothing to change to join this one. If Windows asks whether to let the game through the firewall, choose Allow.
Modding your Minecraft Bedrock server
Bedrock uses add-ons: behavior packs change how the game works and resource packs change how it looks. Upload them in the Files tab or bring a world that already has them applied. Turn on Require resource packs and every player gets them when they join. Java mods, plugins, Paper and Fabric do not work on Bedrock.
Minecraft: Bedrock Edition server hosting, explained
Minecraft: Bedrock Edition is the version of Minecraft on Windows, iPhone, iPad, Android, Xbox, PlayStation and Nintendo Switch. A Bedrock server keeps one world running for all of them, so friends on a phone, a console and a PC can build together without anyone hosting from their own device. Realms can do something similar, but a dedicated server gives you the files, the console, add-ons, more players and a world you can download whenever you like.
We run Mojang's own Bedrock Dedicated Server, the same software Mojang publishes for server owners. It is written in native code, so it needs far less memory than a Java server: 2 GB comfortably holds a group of friends, and RAM only becomes the limit with big explored worlds, heavy add-ons or crowds of 25 players or more.
The catch with Bedrock is versions. Phones and consoles update Minecraft automatically, and a player on a newer version cannot join an older server. Our server checks for a new Minecraft version every time it starts and installs it, keeping your world, allowlist and settings, so after a Minecraft update a restart is all it takes.

Common questions
How much does a Minecraft Bedrock server cost?
Minecraft Bedrock servers start at $1.25 for 3 days, with no subscription. Monthly plans are 2 GB for up to 5 players at $4.99, 4 GB for up to 12 players at $9.99 and 6 GB for up to 25 players at $14.99. Pay monthly or prepaid, split the bill with friends, and cancel any time.
Can PlayStation, Xbox and Switch players join?
Yes, they play on the server like anyone else. Consoles have no Add Server button, so console players set their DNS to ours once, open The Hive in the Servers tab and type your server's 6 letter join code. After that the server is saved in their list.
Can Java Edition players join?
No. Bedrock Dedicated Server only accepts Bedrock players. If your group mixes Java and Bedrock, pick our Minecraft: Java Edition server and add Geyser, which lets Bedrock players join a Java world.
Why does it say "Outdated server"?
Minecraft updated on your device and the server is still on the older version. Restart the server: it installs the newest Minecraft version every time it starts and keeps your world. If it still says so, click Update game.
Can I use add-ons and behavior packs?
Yes. The easiest way is to turn the add-ons on for a world in Minecraft on your device, export that world and upload it (see the next question). To add a pack to the world already on the server, upload its folder into the world's behavior_packs or resource_packs folder, add its uuid and version from its manifest.json to world_behavior_packs.json or world_resource_packs.json in the world folder, then restart. A .mcpack or .mcaddon file is a zip: rename it to end in .zip and press Extract. Add-ons that need experimental features must have them turned on in the world before you upload it.
Can I upload my own world?
Yes. Export the world from Minecraft as a .mcworld file and rename it to end in .zip. In the Files tab, make a new folder inside worlds, upload the file into it and press Extract. Then set World name to that folder's name and restart.
Is this better than a Realm?
A Realm is simpler, but only you and 10 friends can be online at once and there is no file access. A dedicated server lets you manage the files, run console commands, choose the player limit and download backups.
Do my friends need Xbox accounts?
Yes. Every Bedrock player signs in with a free Microsoft account, and the allowlist uses those Gamertags.
Can my friends and I split the cost?
Yes. At checkout choose "Me and my friends" and up to 10 people each pay their own share with their own card, on any plan length, from 3 days to a year. It is not a payment plan: nobody pays in parts over time, each friend simply pays their own share. You pay yours, send each friend their link, and the server starts straight away. Each share includes a $1 payment fee.
Can I build a custom plan?
Yes. Every game has a Build your own page: pick any amount of RAM up to 32 GB, any length from 3 days to 1 year, prepaid or a subscription, plus your server type and settings. A custom size costs 15% more per GB than the standard plans next to it.
Can I pay once instead of a subscription?
Yes. Pick Prepaid and pay once for 3 days, 30 days, 6 months or a year. Nothing renews: when the time is up the server pauses and keeps its world for 14 days. Add time or switch to a subscription from your panel any time. Short rentals cost more per day, since every server is set up from scratch.
How fast is setup, really?
Your server starts building the moment Stripe confirms payment. Most are online in under a minute, and the address and login appear on your dashboard automatically.
Your Minecraft Bedrock server is a minute away
