Minecraft servers give the game a great multiplayer option. While there is multiplayer with friends, that's typically just playing on a world with other people. Servers take it to the next level by providing players with an online gaming experience and often something that's totally different from regular Minecraft.

Minecraft servers can offer PVP worlds, BedWars (being arguably the most popular type of server), and other Adventure worlds. While these are often seen as Java Edition features, Bedrock Edition players have access to them, too.

Here's how to get on them.


Joining a Minecraft server on Bedrock Edition

Bedrock Edition covers most of the game's platforms. Nintendo Switch, Xbox, PlayStation, Pocket Edition and even Windows 10 Edition fall under the Bedrock umbrella, so it's safe to say that Bedrock is pretty popular.

Servers can be anything and players can join them and play the game modes that are available. There are a few ways of doing this.

For Minecraft Pocket Edition, players can have Pocket Edition installed on a supported platform and ready to play. While Pocket Edition does, Xbox, PlayStation and Windows devices do not allow players to join servers with an IP address.

For those that can, they can navigate to the "Servers" tab of Minecraft Bedrock after clicking the play button. An Internet connection will be required. There will be several different server options available, including an option to add one of the player's own.

Players can also click the "Join Server" button and input the information manually to join a particular one. For platforms that don't allow that, they can still join servers.

Those platforms will also have a "Server" tab that players can navigate to and join a server from there. The only downside is that they can't find and input their own servers through an IP address. Otherwise, it's all the same process and players can join their favorite BedWars or PVP world with ease.
