#bedrock

Bedrock ignores SRV records, so point your domain at the server with an A or CNAME record and have players type the port. For no port at all, ask about a dedicated IP.

In Settings you can reinstall your server, switch its type with Change Egg (for example Paper to Vanilla Bedrock, or Node.js to Python), rename it, and find the Node and Server ID.

Run Vanilla Bedrock for the real Bedrock experience, or Nukkit/PocketMine-MP for plugins. Bedrock uses UDP, add-ons go in the world folder, and players join with address and port.

Java players use Multiplayer → Add Server with the full address and port. Bedrock players on PC and phones use the Servers tab. Consoles need a workaround.

Install Geyser and Floodgate from the Plugins tab, add a port with Create Allocation in Network, set it as Geyser's Bedrock port, and Bedrock players can join your Java server.

Most connection errors come from a wrong address or port, a server that is offline or still starting, or Bedrock players using the wrong port. Check these first.
