🎮Switch [only IOS]

ATTENTION, FOR TECHNICAL REASONS THIS ONLY WORKS ON IOS / APPLE DEVICES.

Before You Begin

Please ensure that your phone and console are connected to the same Wi-Fi network. Small factors, such as the use of VPNs, mobile data, Wi-Fi extenders, or stringent parental controls/firewall settings in your router, can prevent the app from communicating with the console or lead to potential issues.

Please note that to play online on Switch consoles, a membership for the respective console is required. For Switch, you need "Nintendo Switch Online (Membership)" . Without these memberships, you will not be able to play online or use the app.

You are not redirected to a server? See here

Done! You will now be automatically redirected to the desired server. Enjoy your game! 🎉🎮

This process is specifically for iOS devices in conjunction with using the Nintendo Switch. Ensure the app remains active and the Switch is correctly configured for a successful connection.

Important to Know:

  • The app is not a proxy. Once you are on the desired server, you can completely close the app and are not dependent on it.

  • Please note that the server must be online and support the latest version.

  • Strictly speaking, you are joining two servers: first BedrockConnect, then your desired server. So, you first land on the local server and will be kicked with a reference to the "IP:PORT" of the desired server (technically: Transfer Packet) and then land there afterward. Be aware that if you cannot join the server, the app is usually not to blame, especially during the second entry.

  • For iOS/Apple device owners, an iOS popup should appear in the app asking if you want to activate "Local Networks." This must be activated for the app to function fully. If it is not enabled, it will not appear in the Minecraft Friends tab. If you accidentally did not activate this feature or if you were not prompted, please click on this link for assistance.
