Why Can’t I Connect to My Bedrock Server?

If you're having trouble connecting to your Minecraft Bedrock server, there could be several causes — from incorrect IP settings to firewall issues. This guide will help you troubleshoot the most common problems. ⚠️


⛏️ 1. Check the IP and Port

  • ➡️ Make sure you're using the correct IP address and Bedrock port (usually 19132)
  • ✔️ These details are shown on your server’s dashboard in the panel

❌ Java Edition players cannot connect to Bedrock servers and vice versa.


➕ 2. Confirm the Server Is Online

  • ➡️ Check your panel to see if the server is running
  • ➡️ If it's stopped or crashed, try starting it again
  • ✔️ You can also check the console for errors

⏰ If the server crashes during startup, it could be due to addon issues or missing files.


⚔️ 3. Make Sure You're on the Right Version

  • ➡️ Your Bedrock client version must match or be compatible with the server version
  • ✔️ If you're getting a "server outdated" message, the server may need to be updated

➡️ See our guide on Fixing “Server Outdated” or “Incompatible Version” Errors for more help.


➖ 4. Double-Check Your Internet and NAT Type

  • ➡️ Restart your router and game if you suspect a local connection issue
  • ➡️ Strict NAT types or certain firewall/router settings can block server connections

✔️ Try connecting from another device or network to rule out local issues.


➡️ For help with installation, see our guides on installing addons and plugins. ✅
