Consoles (Xbox, PlayStation, Nintendo Switch) don't let you type in custom server addresses directly. The trick is BedrockConnect โ€” a free tool that lets you add any Bedrock server by temporarily changing your DNS settings.

  2. Set Primary DNS to the BedrockConnect address below

Asher needs to add your home network before the DNS trick works. Takes a minute once he approves you.

DNS โ€” Use This Address
Primary DNS 165.245.167.184

This is Asher's own DNS server โ€” it redirects Minecraft's featured server list to here, then routes your game connection through securely. Set Secondary DNS to 1.1.1.3 as a fallback for other internet traffic. You can set DNS back to automatic any time โ€” it won't affect other apps.

This video walks through the full BedrockConnect setup on Xbox โ€” the same idea applies to PlayStation and Switch too.

Need Help?

Can Java and Bedrock play together?

Yes! The server runs the Geyser plugin, which bridges Java and Bedrock. Bedrock players see Java content and can play alongside Java players seamlessly.

What if the console method doesn't work?

Make sure you used 165.245.167.184 as the primary DNS and restarted the Minecraft app fully after changing it. If Mineville still doesn't trigger the menu, try a different featured server in the list.

Do I need to buy Minecraft twice?

No โ€” Java and Bedrock are separate purchases, but you only need the one your device supports. Xbox, PlayStation, Switch, iOS, and Android all use Bedrock Edition.

Is my DNS safe to change?

Yes โ€” BedrockConnect only intercepts Minecraft traffic. It's run by the open-source community. You can set DNS back to automatic at any time.
