About Console Connections

Console versions of Minecraft do not have a native "Add Server" button. To connect to custom servers, you need to change your console's DNS settings to use BedrockConnect — a safe, community tool that provides access to a custom server list. This method is completely safe and reversible.

Important Notes

  • This method is safe and does not modify your console
  • DNS changes only affect network routing, not game files
  • You can revert to automatic DNS at any time
  • Server address to join: play.SurvivalRealm.com

How to Revert DNS (All Consoles)

To restore your console's default DNS settings and remove the BedrockConnect redirect:

1

Go to your console's Network or Internet settings

2

Find DNS Settings and change from Manual back to Automatic

3

Save settings and restart your console

No Permanent Changes

Reverting DNS removes the custom server list redirect entirely. Your console returns to normal operation with no remaining modifications.

Troubleshooting

Make sure you entered the DNS addresses correctly, then fully close and reopen Minecraft. If using Wi-Fi, try forgetting and reconnecting to your network after changing DNS settings.

Verify the server address is exactly play.SurvivalRealm.com with no extra spaces. Ensure your internet connection is stable and that Minecraft is fully updated.

Try switching your Secondary DNS to 1.1.1.1 instead of 8.8.8.8. If using Wi-Fi, move closer to your router or switch to a wired connection for better stability.

Yes. After changing DNS settings, fully close Minecraft (not just suspend) and reopen it. If issues persist, restart your console entirely.
