This guide will show you, step by step, how to connect to your Minecraft: Bedrock Edition server.

Minecraft: Windows 10 Edition, Minecraft for iOS, Minecraft for Android (Bedrock Edition is not supported on consoles or Java Edition)
To connect to your Minecraft: Bedrock Edition server:

2. Locate your server’s IP address.
a. If you wish to use a subdomain to allow people to connect to your server, you can set that up on your control panel by clicking on the Subdomain button on the left side.
3. On your supported device start the Minecraft application, and click the Play button on the title screen.
4. On the next screen, click the Servers tab at the top, then click Add Server.

a. If you have chosen to set up a subdomain on your control panel, you will need to enter your subdomain as shown below. Please note that the port is still required when using a subdomain as Minecraft: Bedrock Edition does not currently support the use of SRV records (using an address/domain without a port).

Please note that the message displayed under your server name will differ depending on your server type. You can edit your server's “message of the day” which is visible to everyone by following this guide.
You are now ready to get started on your new Bedrock server!
