Minecraft Pocket Servers: How to Play guide (2024)
⠀

Minecraft is a world of endless adventures, and with Minecraft Pocket Edition servers, the adventures just got a whole lot bigger! These servers open up a world of possibilities, allowing you to play with friends and fellow gamers worldwide, right from your mobile. 

In this guide, we'll take you through the simple steps to jump into the action, ensuring you have a smooth and fun experience in Minecraft Pocket Servers in 2024.

Check Server Compatibility

⠀

Before you dive into the Minecraft Pocket Servers, it's essential to make sure you're all set up correctly. Here's what you need to do:

1. Server Type Compatibility:

The first thing you should do is make sure that the server you want to join is running the Minecraft server type (Java/Bedrock). This is like making sure you have the right key for the right door – it ensures you can access the server.

Install Minecraft: Pocket Edition:

Next, you'll need to ensure that you have Minecraft: Pocket Edition installed on a supported platform. You can play on devices like Windows 10 or Mobile Devices, but please note that Xbox, PlayStation, and Windows 8.1 devices won't let you join servers via IP. So, pick a compatible device, and you're good to go.

Match Versions

To prevent any hiccups along the way, make sure that the version of your Minecraft: Pocket Edition matches the version the server is running. You can find your game's version on the bottom-right corner of the application. This keeps everything running smoothly, like making sure you have the right puzzle pieces.

Identify Server Address (IP & Port)

⠀

Now, let's talk about the secret handshake – you need to know the server's IP address and port number. If you own the server or have this information from your hosting provider, you're in luck. Here's how to find it:

Server Address Section: Look for the "Server Address" section. This is where the magic happens, and you'll find both the IP and port.

For example, the server address might look something like this: 192.165.2.1:12045. The part before the ":" is the Server IP, and the part after it is the Server Port.

Connect to the Server

⠀

Now, the moment you've been waiting for – connecting to your Minecraft Pocket Server. It's as easy as a few taps on your screen:

1. Open Minecraft Pocket Edition: Find the app on your device and fire it up.

2. Press "Play": Get ready to jump into the game by hitting the "Play" button.

3. Navigate to the "Servers" Tab: You'll see some tabs at the top of your screen. Swipe or tap your way to the "Servers" tab.

4. Add the Server: Here's where you'll add your server. Look for the "Add Server" button, and give it a tap.

5. Fill in the Details: Time to name your server. Enter something memorable in the "Server Name" field. Then, plug in the Server IP and Port that you got earlier.

6. Press "Play" or "Save": Hit "Play" to jump right into the action. If you want to save the server for later, choose "Save."

And there you have it! You're now connected to the Minecraft Pocket Edition (Bedrock Edition) server, surrounded by eager players ready to explore, build, and adventure together.

What to Do if You Run into Trouble?

⠀

If you ever run into issues or have questions, don't worry! Minecraft is all about community, and there's plenty of help available. Contact your server provider's support for assistance. They're like the friendly village folk ready to lend a hand.

Please remember that the server address we used in our example (192.165.2.1:12045) is just a placeholder. You should replace it with the actual IP address and port of the server you want to join.

So, there you have it, your ultimate guide to joining Minecraft Pocket Servers in 2024. Now, go forth, explore, build, and have a blast on the server!
