How to Connect Xbox (One/Series S/X) Players to Your Minecraft Bedrock Server

By default, Xbox players can only connect to official servers in Minecraft Bedrock. However, you can change your Xbox's DNS settings to allow connection to third party servers like your Minecraft Bedrock server using BedrockConnect.

Changing DNS Settings on Xbox

  1. 1
    Press the Xbox button on your controller to open the home dashboard
  2. 2
    Navigate to Profile & system > Settings > Network
  3. 3
    Select Network settings > Advanced settings
  4. 4
    Select DNS settings and choose Manual
  5. 5
    Enter these DNS addresses:
    • Primary DNS: 104.238.130.180
    • Secondary DNS: 8.8.8.8
  6. 6
    Save your settings and restart your console

Connecting to Your Server

  1. 1
    Log in to the Game Host Bros panel and select your Minecraft server.
  2. 2
    Copy your server IP address from the sidebar.
  3. 3
    Open Minecraft and click Play.
  4. 4
    Go to Servers and select any available server.
  5. 5
    Click Connect to a Server.
  6. 6
    Enter your server's IP address and port.
  7. 7
    Click Submit.

Example: If your server IP is 198.137.23.46:7781, it should look like this:

IP: 198.137.23.46
Port: 7781

Alternative DNS Servers

If the main server is unavailable, try these alternatives:

  • UK Server: 213.171.211.142
  • Germany Server: 217.160.58.93

Troubleshooting

Connection not working?

  • Double-check your DNS settings are saved correctly
