If you play on any form of Minecraft: Bedrock Edition (Pocket Edition, Xbox, PC Bedrock, etc.), then you can still join the servers below:

The Strife: Season IV

Keep in mind that custom item models and some game mechanics will not work on Bedrock, so if you can play on Java, you should do so.

HOW TO JOIN ON POCKET EDITION

1. Open Minecraft. On the main menu, press play, and then go to the "Servers" tab.

2. Scroll to the bottom of the featured servers list and press the "Add Server" button.

3. A box asking for server information will appear. The server name can be anything, the server address is the IP of the server you want to connect to (if it's one of ours, our default IP is play.conglomerate.live), and the port is the last part of the IP (our servers generally use the port 20001).

4. Press "Play" to immediately join the server, or "Save" to save it to your "Additional Servers" list, which can be found at the bottom of the featured servers.

5. You're in!

HOW TO JOIN ON PC BEDROCK

1. Open Minecraft. On the main menu, press play, and then go to the "Servers" tab.

2. Press the "Add Server" button at the top of the featured servers list.

3. A box asking for server information will appear. The server name can be anything, the server address is the IP of the server you want to connect to (if it's one of ours, our default IP is play.conglomerate.live), and the port is the last part of the IP (our servers generally use the port 20001).

4. Press "Play" to immediately join the server, or "Save" to save it to your "More Servers" list, which can be found at the bottom of the featured servers.

5. You're in!

HOW TO JOIN ON XBOX

1. Open the main Xbox menu and navigate to the settings tab (marked with a gear icon).

2. Press the "Settings" button in the settings tab.

3. Locate the "Network settings" option. This could either be under General > Network settings, or under Network > Network settings. Click on this option.

4. Under "Current Network Status", check if the network type is IPv4. If your network says "IPv6" or "IPv4 and IPv6", please go to the "HOW TO DISABLE IPV6" section of this page. Otherwise, click on "Advanced settings".

5. Click on "DNS settings".

6. Switch the DNS mode from "Automatic" to "Manual".

7. A "Change settings" window will appear. In the box labeled "Primary IPv4 DNS" type in the IP "104.238.130.180". If you are experiencing issues later on in the process, try changing this IP to "173.82.100.84".

What does this do? Well, essentially Microsoft has locked down the ability to connect to anything but featured servers on console Bedrock versions. Changing this DNS intercepts your connection to these featured servers and forwards it to BedrockConnect, which is a free, open source service that allows Bedrock players to connect to Java servers. This means that joining a featured server will bring up a screen that allows you to add custom servers, as well as join the default featured ones.

8. Now, a box requesting a "Secondary IPv4 DNS" will appear. Here, just put 8.8.8.8 in.

9. A confirmation screen should come up. If everything looks good, restart your Xbox.

10. Launch Minecraft. On the main menu, press play, then go to the servers tab.

11. Press on any of the featured servers.

12. A new server connect menu should pop up. Press "Connect to a Server". If this screen doesn't come up, try changing the IP in step 7 and try again.

13. A box asking for server information will appear. The server address should be the IP of the server you want to connect to (if it's one of ours, our default IP is play.conglomerate.live), and the port is the last part of the IP (our servers generally use the port 20001). After you put this in, make sure to check the "Add to server list" option so you can easily connect to the server again in the future.

14. Join the server. You're in!

HOW TO DISABLE IPV6

1. If you have access to a computer, log on and do the following:

• If you are on Windows, open Command Prompt by typing "cmd" in your search bar and pressing enter.

• If you are on Mac, open Terminal (can be located via Finder through Applications > Utilities > Terminal ).

• If you are on Linux, open Terminal (right click anywhere on your desktop and select "Terminal", although this depends on your distro. If you are a Linux user I expect you know how to open Terminal though).

2. In the window that appears, type either ipconfig (Windows) or ifconfig (Mac and Linux).

3. Locate the line that says "Default Gateway".

4. Double click on the Default Gateway IP address and copy it with Ctrl + C (or right-click > copy on some Linux distros).

7. If you do not have access to a computer, here is a list of common router IP addresses you can try.

5. Paste this IP into your web browser. It will likely mark this site as "Not Secure", but don't worry, this is just the site of your Wifi router.

6. From here, find the setting to turn off IPv6 on your router. Unfortunately, all router websites look different, so we cannot provide screenshots here. You may need to restart your router after making this change.

8. Continue where you left off in setting up whatever device you play Minecraft on!
