Step by step — below

Play → tab Servers → at the bottom of the list Add server → name, address, and port 19132 → 'Save'. The server will appear in the list — click it to join.

Phone and Windows

  1. Click 'Play' in the main menu and open the 'Servers' tab.
  2. Scroll down to the end of the list and click "Add Server".
  3. Enter any name, server address, and port. The default port is 19132: if the server does not specify otherwise, leave it as is.
  4. Click 'Save', then the server in the list — the game will connect.

The address is taken from the server site or monitoring tool — there you can also see if the server is currently responding and what version it is running.

Server on Java

Java and Bedrock — different editions, and they cannot connect directly to each other. You can log in from a mobile device to a Java server only if Geyser is installed on it: it translates Bedrock players' connection into the Java server's protocol. Such servers usually state in their description that they accept Bedrock players and provide a separate port. How to install it on your server — Geyser and Floodgate.

Consoles

On Xbox, PlayStation, and Nintendo Switch, the 'Servers' tab shows only Mojang partner servers, and there is no 'Add Server' button: you cannot enter your own address on consoles.

Frequently asked questions

What port does a Bedrock server use?

Default is 19132. If the server provides an address without a port, leave it as 19132.

Can you log into a Java server from a phone?

Only if Geyser is running on the server — it translates Bedrock players to the Java server. The server then assigns its port, usually 19132.

Why is there no 'Add Server' button on Xbox and PlayStation?

On consoles, the server list is closed: it only includes Mojang partner servers. You cannot add your own server address.
