How to join a Geyser server from Windows, iOS and Android

Add your Schokr crossplay server in Minecraft Bedrock on Windows, iPhone, iPad or Android using the server address and Bedrock port.

Updated · 2 min read

On Windows, iOS and Android, Bedrock has an Add Server button. Enter your server's address and the Bedrock port Geyser listens on, save, and tap the server to join.

What you need from the server owner

FieldWhat to enter
Server NameAnything, it is just a label
Server AddressThe same address Java players use, without :port
PortThe Bedrock port set in Geyser's config.yml

If the owner shares something like node.example.net:25571, the address is node.example.net and the port is the number Geyser uses, which may be the same 25571 or a separate allocation. Owners: see which port do Bedrock players use.

Steps

  1. Open Minecraft (Bedrock Edition) and sign in with your Microsoft account.
  2. Tap Play.
  3. Open the Servers tab.
  4. Scroll past the featured servers and tap Add Server.
  5. Fill in Server Name, Server Address and Port.
  6. Tap Save (or Play to join immediately).
  7. The server now appears in your list. Tap it to join.

The first join can take a few seconds longer while Geyser sends resources to your device.

Platform notes

Windows

Use the Minecraft for Windows (Bedrock) version. If you also have Java Edition installed through the launcher, make sure you open the Bedrock one; Java players connect differently.

iOS and iPadOS

Minecraft needs local network or cellular data access for multiplayer. If joins fail only on mobile data, check that Minecraft is allowed to use cellular data in Settings.

Android

Some battery savers and VPN or ad-blocking apps interfere with UDP traffic. If you cannot connect, try turning them off temporarily.

You need to be signed in

Bedrock needs an Xbox/Microsoft sign-in to join external servers, and Floodgate uses it to verify you. If you are not signed in, the game will prompt you or the join will fail.

Common problems

Playing on console?

Xbox, PlayStation and Switch do not show the Add Server button. See join from Xbox, PlayStation and Switch.
