How can you join servers on Nintendo Switch Minecraft?

Hello Guys! Could anyone please tell me about this?

On Nintendo Switch, Minecraft doesn’t let you add custom server IPs directly. You’ll only see featured servers and Realms. If you want to join other servers, you need a workaround like changing DNS (BedrockConnect) or using a phone app that tunnels the connection.

The Switch version runs Bedrock Edition, but it’s locked down. There’s no “Add Server” option like PC. Most players use a custom DNS or apps like BedrockTogether to join private servers. It’s not official, but it’s the only practical way right now.

You can’t normally join random servers on Minecraft Switch. Nintendo limits it to partnered servers only. However, people use DNS tricks or mobile helper apps to make other servers appear. It works, but updates sometimes break these methods temporarily.

Joining servers on Switch isn’t straightforward. The game doesn’t support manual IP entry. You’ll need Nintendo Switch Online and a Microsoft account first, then use workarounds like BedrockConnect or BedrockTogether if you want access beyond featured servers.

Switch Minecraft only shows official servers by default. Custom servers require unofficial solutions like DNS changes or phone apps acting as a bridge. It’s a bit annoying, but many console players use these methods successfully to play with friends.
