## Friends on every Bedrock device

Bedrock players join with your address and port. Consoles have no box to type them into, so console friends take one extra step.

### Phones and tablets

1. Open Minecraft, tap Play, then the Servers tab.
2. Tap Add Server and type your address and port in their own boxes.
3. Tap Play. The first time, accept the question about trusting the server.

### Windows

1. Open Minecraft for Windows and go to Play, then Servers.
2. Choose Add Server, then type the address and the port.
3. Save it, so next time you only pick it from the list.

### Xbox, PlayStation and Switch

1. Consoles have no Add Server button, so friends use a community tool such as BedrockConnect.
2. The tool makes your server show up as a game they can join from Friends or Worlds.
3. Send them your wake link too, in case the server is asleep when they join.

## What your server comes with

- **An address that stays put.** Friends save an address like castle.tosk.gg and the port from your address card once. The address stays the same through restarts and moves.
- **Naps when empty, wakes when you join.** When everyone leaves, the server naps. When a friend joins from a phone or Windows, it wakes up in seconds. Console friends open the wake link first.
- **Add-ons, in the world or by hand.** Turn packs on in a single-player world and bring the world over, or upload behavior and resource packs through Files. Marketplace add-ons can’t be copied to a server.
- **Backups every 10 minutes.** A safe copy every 10 minutes while the server runs and each time it naps. Restore one in a few taps, or download it as a zip.
- **Bring your world.** Export your world as a .mcworld file on Windows or a phone, and upload it in Games, Bring your world. Consoles can’t export a world to a file.
- **Settings in plain words.** Game mode, difficulty, cheats, an allow list, the world seed and view distance, without editing server.properties. Make friends admin from the Console.

## A Bedrock server, or a Java server

Bedrock and Java players can’t join each other’s servers, so pick the edition your whole group plays. A friend on PC who owns Java also has Bedrock for Windows.

|  | Bedrock server | Java server |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Who can join | Bedrock players on phones, tablets, Windows and consoles | Java players on PC and Mac |
| Add-ons and mods | Bedrock add-ons: behavior and resource packs | Plugins on Paper or Purpur, mods on Fabric, Forge or NeoForge, and modpacks |
| How players join | Address and port, in two boxes | The address alone, with no port |
| The plan we recommend | Seed 2 GB | Sprout 4 GB |
| Best for | A group with friends on phones, tablets or consoles | A group on PC and Mac that wants plugins or mods |

## Questions and answers

### How much RAM does a Minecraft Bedrock server need?

2 GB suits up to 10 players, and 4 GB up to 20. Add-ons and bigger groups want 6 to 8 GB. Bedrock is much lighter than Java, where the same group needs more.

### Can Xbox, PlayStation and Switch players join a Bedrock server?

Yes, with a community workaround such as BedrockConnect, because Minecraft on consoles has no button to add a server by address. Joins through these tools may not wake a sleeping server, so console friends open your wake link first.

### What port do Bedrock players use?

The one on your address card. It’s picked for your server, so it isn’t Bedrock’s usual 19132. Players type the address in the Server Address box and the port in the Port box.

### Can I upload my Bedrock world?

Yes. Export it as a .mcworld file from the world’s settings on Windows or a phone, then upload it in Games, Bring your world. Use a world saved on the same or an older game version than the server.

### Can I turn my Bedrock world into a Java world?

No. Java and Bedrock save worlds in different formats, and neither the game nor our panel converts between them. Your server can keep a Java world and a Bedrock world side by side, and switch between them in Games.

## One world for every device

Pick a plan and your Bedrock server is up in about a minute, with backups and DDoS protection from the start. Your first order is 20% off.
