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.
