How to Connect Xbox Players to Your Minecraft Bedrock Server

Allow Xbox One and Series S/X players to join your Minecraft Bedrock Edition dedicated server by configuring DNS settings with BedrockConnect.

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 yours using BedrockConnect.

Changing DNS Settings on Xbox

Open Settings

Press the Xbox button on your controller to open the home dashboard, then navigate to Profile & system → Settings → Network.

Go to Advanced Settings

Select Network settings → Advanced settings.

Set Manual DNS

Select DNS settings and choose Manual. Enter these DNS addresses:

Primary DNS: 104.238.130.180
Secondary DNS: 8.8.8.8

Save and Restart

Save your settings and restart your console.

Connecting to Your Server

Port: 7781
