How To Connect

Our server is made for the java version of the game, but also allows Bedrock editions to connect.

On a computer it's fairly simple, just add a new server using the IP below.

To connect to a Minecraft server on your cellphone, you will need to follow these steps:

  1. Open the Minecraft app on your cellphone. If you haven't downloaded it yet, you can do so from your phone's app store.

  2. Once you're in the app, tap the "Play" button on the main menu.

  3. On the next screen, tap the "Servers" tab.

  4. Now you can either join a server that is already listed, or add a new server manually. Tap the "Add Server" button, at the bottom.

  5. You will need to enter the server's IP address and port number. Use Play.BulldogMC.xyz for the server address. Default port (don't change the numbers).

  6. Once you've entered the server's information, give it a name and tap "Save." Now you should see the server listed on the "Servers" tab.

  7. Tap on the server's name and then tap "Join Server."

And that's it! You should now be connected to the Minecraft server on your cellphone. Just make sure you have a stable internet connection, so you don't experience any lag or disconnections while playing.

Connecting With a Console

To connect to your server through one of these consoles, we recommend using the BedrockTogether app, which can be downloaded from the Google Play or Apple App Store on most mobile devices. Here's a quick guide on how to use it to join your server:

  1. Download BedrockTogether from Google Play or the App Store.
  2. Open the app and enter your server's IP address and port number.
  3. Click on the green "Watch Ad and Run" button and wait for the ad to finish playing.
  4. Once the ad is finished, click on the X at the top right to close it.
  5. A LAN game will be ready to send you to your server.
  6. Open Minecraft and click on the Play button on the main page.
  7. Navigate to the Friends tab and find the LAN Games section.
  8. When the BedrockTogether game appears, click on it to join your server.

Please note that the app must remain open for the connection to be maintained. It may take a minute or two for the LAN game to appear after starting the application. We recommend connecting to the server through the app before starting the game on your PlayStation. The only minor inconvenience is that you may need to watch an ad to use the app.


Here is a video that might better explain this process.
Make sure to use our IP, Play.BulldogMC.xyz, instead of the IP in the video to ensure your family is on the correct server.

If our guide isn't enough, there are a few good articles and videos on how to connect to an IP address using these devices. Start with a Google or YouTube search for "How to connect to a custom Minecraft server on PlayStation/Xbox/Switch"
