Join your Minecraft Bedrock server

How to add your server in Minecraft Bedrock, and the one trap that catches almost everyone: the port field already has 19132 in it, and you must change it to your server's actual port.

Bedrock is the version of Minecraft that runs on phones, tablets, Windows and consoles. The panel is your GuavaHost control panel at customer.guavahost.com, and it shows the details you need to connect.

The steps below are for Windows 10/11, iPhone, iPad and Android, which all have an Add Server button. Xbox, PlayStation and Nintendo Switch do not: consoles cannot add a custom server by IP, so console players join through a free workaround instead. See Play Bedrock on console for how.

Find your IP and port

1. Sign in at customer.guavahost.com, open My servers and click Manage on your server.
2. At the top of the server page, next to Address, you will see the server address as an IP and a port, for example 123.45.67.89:41000. It is also in the Ports & network card on the Overview.
3. The part before the colon is the IP. The part after the colon is the port. You need both.

Add the server in Minecraft Bedrock

1. Open Minecraft.
2. Click Play, then open the Servers tab.
3. Scroll down and click Add Server.
4. In Server Name, type anything you like.
5. In Server Address, enter your IP only, without the port, for example 123.45.67.89.
6. Now the important bit. The Port field already has 19132 in it. That is the Bedrock default, and it is almost certainly not your port. Delete it and type the actual port from the panel, for example 41000. If you leave it as 19132, the server will not be found.
7. Click Save, then select your server and press Play.

Why the port matters so much

Minecraft fills in 19132 for you because that is the standard Bedrock port. On GuavaHost each server is assigned its own port so that many servers can share a machine. If you do not replace that default with the real port from the panel, Minecraft looks in the wrong place and reports the server as unavailable.

Troubleshooting

• "Unable to connect to world": nine times out of ten the port is still set to 19132. Edit the server and set the port to the exact value from the panel.
• Server shows as unavailable: check the IP is correct and that the server has finished starting. Open the Console tab and wait for the ready line and the Online status.
• It worked before and now will not connect: your IP and port change if the server is moved to another location. Re-check the address at the top of the server page and update it in your server list.
• No Add Server button: you are on Xbox, PlayStation or Switch, where it does not exist. Follow Play Bedrock on console instead.
