BedrockTogether helps Minecraft: Bedrock Edition players connect to supported servers from compatible console platforms, including Xbox, PlayStation and Nintendo Switch. Any server shows up as a local network game on your console, so you can join it directly from the game — no computer required, no DNS changes. How it works: 1. Enter the server's address and port in the app. 2. Tap "Run". 3. Open your game and go to the Friends/Worlds tab. 4. The server appears as a local game — tap it and play. Compatibility: • Any device that can browse local network games in Minecraft: Bedrock Edition • A second connection method is available for devices that can't see local network games directly, using an in-game friends list instead Other features: • A ready-to-join list of partnered servers • Save your favorite servers for quick access • Ad-free version available in the app The app is free and ad-supported. If you'd prefer no ads, the ad-free version is available from Info → Ad-free Version, and also lets you save more than two favorites and hide the partnered servers list. Notes: • Your phone and game device must be on the same network. • Keep the app open while you play. • Realms are not supported.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: BuildCores at none against BedrockTogether's shown. BuildCores also leads on review sentiment (72% vs 55%). BedrockTogether's advantage is update cadence (every 5 days vs every 6 weeks) and ratings volume (59K vs 2.1K). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

CostPrice · In-app purchases · Ads · Monetization

Both are free to download. BuildCores sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and BedrockTogether sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

BuildCores holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: BedrockTogether has 59K ratings behind it against 2.1K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 72% of BuildCores's written reviews are positive against 55% of BedrockTogether's.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

BuildCores ships an update every 6 weeks, BedrockTogether every 5 days. The most recent releases landed on November 2, 2026 and November 6, 2026 respectively.
