Minecraft Bedrock: Able to connect to server but permently locating server.

If you see this ignore what the microsoft agent says. You can only add different servers on the bedrock andriod or iphone you cant do it on xbox ps4 or the pc version of bedrock minecraft only the phone versions. I played the bedrock minecraft on phone before iphone and android and iphone that has the ability to add servers. Get a phone to be able to add servers aicha t is just a microsoft bot. Basicly just get a phone and buy the bedrock version of minecraft app store or play store and then go to servers you see all the other servers their as ussal and then go down if i remember correctly and it says add server.

Hello ERROR 008,



Welcome to the Microsoft Community.

There are many reasons for not being able to connect to any server in Minecraft. Here are some of the common reasons and their solutions so that you can troubleshoot and solve the problem step by step:



1. Check if the Minecraft version and the server version match

Make sure that the server you are trying to connect to is compatible with your version of Minecraft. If you are playing Minecraft Java Edition and the server you are trying to connect to is Bedrock Edition (or vice versa), you will not be able to connect.

Solution:

Make sure you are using the correct version of Minecraft (Java or Bedrock) to connect to the appropriate type of server.

You can check the server's official website or introduction page for information on the versions supported by the server.



2. Make sure your internet connection is working

Minecraft may not be able to connect to the server due to network problems. When the network is unstable, too slow, or malfunctioning, it may prevent you from connecting to the server.

Solution:

Make sure your device is connected to a stable network (use a wired connection or make sure the Wi-Fi signal is good).

You can try opening other apps or websites to test the network connection and make sure there are no network interruptions or delays.



3. Check Minecraft's Firewall or Network Settings

If you are using a firewall or certain network security software, it may be preventing Minecraft from establishing a connection with the server. You can check your firewall settings to see if there are rules that prevent Minecraft from connecting.

Solution:

Open your firewall settings and make sure that Minecraft or Minecraft Launcher is allowed to connect to the Internet through the firewall.

Make sure that no other internet security software is blocking Minecraft connections.

You can also contact the support staff of the corresponding game to find out why.

Hey there!

Just want to throw some information at you.

So, there are 2 different types of Minecraft. You have the following:

Java edition

In the Java edition of Minecraft, you have to load up the launcher then prompt you with a login, you're also able to make custom servers with also a new folder and following their server creation guides. In the Java edition, you're able to do so much more than Bedrock Minecraft. Unfortunately, Java edition is not able to join windows Bedrock nor Xbox Minecraft edition / Mobile Minecraft Edition. You will need a Mojang account. This does not need a Microsoft account.

Bedrock Edition

In Bedrock Edition, you're able to get this on the Store or the Microsoft Minecraft.

With this, you're not able to make a custom server, though you're able to make a normal multiplayer world. In this multiplayer world, you're able to join Xbox edition of Minecraft and the Mobile version of Minecraft.

You do not need a Mojang account to register, you'll need a Microsoft account.

-------

I do not think you're able to transfer the 2 games, as they're both different. "Java / Bedrock."
I hope this helps you.

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!
