Setting Up Your PS5 for Minecraft Servers
Adding Minecraft servers on PS5 requires a few specific steps since PlayStation uses Bedrock Edition, which handles server connections differently than Java Edition. Here’s how to get connected to your favorite servers.
Method 1: Using Featured Servers
The easiest way to join servers on PS5 is through Minecraft’s built-in featured servers list:
- Launch Minecraft and select “Play”
- Navigate to the “Servers” tab
- Choose from popular servers like Mineplex, The Hive, or CubeCraft
- Click “Join Server” and wait for the connection
Method 2: Adding Custom Servers
For custom servers, you’ll need to add them manually:
- Go to the “Servers” tab in the main menu
- Scroll down and select “Add Server”
- Enter the server name (whatever you want to call it)
- Input the server address (IP address and port number)
- Save the server and select it to join
Important Requirements
Before connecting, make sure:
- The server supports Bedrock Edition (not Java Edition)
- Your PS5 has a stable internet connection
- You have a Microsoft account linked to your PlayStation account
- The server allows cross-platform play
Troubleshooting Connection Issues
If you’re having trouble connecting:
- Double-check the server IP address and port number
- Verify the server is online and accepting connections
- Restart Minecraft and try again
- Check your PlayStation Network connection
Some servers may require you to join through a specific method or have whitelist requirements, so always check the server’s official instructions. Once you’ve mastered server connections, you might want to explore more Minecraft content and discover new gaming experiences.
TL;DR
Join Minecraft servers on PS5 through the Servers tab by selecting featured servers or manually adding custom Bedrock Edition servers with their IP address and port.
