Well it’s unlikely even Xbox enforcement can change that because most Minecraft servers are moderated externally so you’d probably have to try and reach out to a mod in the server

Hi Gabriel,

Thank you for coming to the Xbox forums.

I found an article from Mojang Support on how to add a server if you do not want to join one of the featured servers. The

article states, "It’s also possible to add an external server by pressing Add Server and then put in the necessary information. If you need help locating this information, please contact the
server owner. Note: due to platform restrictions, this feature is not available on consoles."

Other than that, if it doesn't let you add a server, I recommend either posting or searching through the Minecraft community forums to get an answer from other Minecraft players.

I hope this helps!

i'm trying this method out, but there's some hiccups.

1: it's calling the external hard drive disk 1.

2: i've had to add help before the commands.

Hello Frank,

Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community.

We understand that you are having trouble adding an external server to Minecraft Bedrock for Windows.



To troubleshoot this issue, please try the following steps:



1. Make sure that you have the latest version of Minecraft Bedrock for Windows installed.



2. Check if the server you are trying to add is compatible with Minecraft Bedrock for Windows.



3. Try adding a different server to see if the issue is with the server or with Minecraft Bedrock for Windows.



4. Check if there are any updates available for Windows Defender Firewall and make sure that it is not blocking Minecraft Bedrock for Windows.



5. Try disabling any third-party antivirus or firewall software temporarily to see if it is causing the issue.



If none of the above steps work, please contact the Minecraft support team for further assistance. They will be able to provide you with more specific troubleshooting steps based on your specific issue. Please use this link: Submit a request – Home (minecraft.net).

Hey,

So Minecraft isn't exactly the game I'm wanting to play on my Xbox but I'll describe it anyway.

if I was to host a normal server then I wouldn't need realms to join for bedrock Minecraft so I don't have a realms.

1. I load up the game

2. I load up the multiplayer server

3. Everything's fine, server details seem fine

4. Send invite to friends or they try to join

5. Friends get the message of "Join failed" when they try to join

6. Check multiplayer settings and it says connection and NAT are both fine and open

Is this going to an issue that will get resolved soon? as I have had this issue for a little over a month now and don't particularly want to keep paying for Xbox game pass when I cant really play any games with friends.

thanks in advance
