I'm unable to connect to featured servers on Minecraft Bedrock

Imelda Cardinale · Oct 4, 2023

So I've been having a problem for about a month now where I can't join any Minecraft Bedrock featured servers such as Cubecraft and The Hive. Sometimes it lets me join, but most times it says "unable to connect to world". Some other times it put an error code that went something along the lines of "client to server handshake failed". I had this problem on my iPad, but I recently got Minecraft bedrock on windows, and the same thing happens. I was able to join a server once just after I downloaded the game, but I haven't been able to since. I can join my friends worlds just fine, but I can't join any servers. I am able to join servers on Java Edition, but just not bedrock edition

Ok, I reset the router and modem and now I can join servers, thanks for your help!

Hi Imelda. My name is Kyle and I'm an independent advisor.

If possible, have you tried connecting to a different internet connection to see if the same issue occurs?

Provide screenshots of the error codes and messages you are receiving, if possible.

No problem! Please reach back if you have further questions.

Hello. No, I have not tried connecting to a different network, I only have one. For some reason, I can now join servers on my iPad, but not on my desktop. My iPad is using a wireless connection, but my desktop is using a wired connection, so I can't try to connect to a different network. Here's the picture of the error I get when trying to connect to a server.

Simply put. No. It is not currently possible to play local multiplayer Java to bedrock Minecraft. (assuming your not running the Minecraft PS4 Edition of Minecraft). Which would still be no. There are plugins for java that allow bedrock clients to connect to java servers but that feature is not on current consoles. Sorry for the inconvenience. Happy gaming!
