Bedrock Joining

Introduction

United Lands is open to everyone who plays Minecraft, both Java and Bedrock accounts can join the server. In this tutorial we will explain how to connect to the server using a Bedrock account as it's unfortunately not as straighforward as a regular Java join. We are aware of some issues that we cannot solve due to the nature of Bedrock so we cannot fix them until Mojang themselves do. These include but are not limited to:

• When warping, the GUI will not close until you've teleported.

• Gradients not working due to Hex values being unsupported.

• GUI's look really weird as glass panes and player heads look different than they do in Java.

• Invisible item frames are visible as they do not currently exist in Bedrock edition.

• Higher ping.

• Custom items not showing custom textures.

• Unable to click links in chat.

• Weird text wrapping of automated messages.

You can join using any Bedrock account but not all platforms are supported. We can only provide support for systems that we have tested ourselves.

Windows 10 and Mobile

Go to the servers menu and add a new server. Enter play.unitedlands.org as the server address and 19132 as the port.

PlayStation 4, Xbox One and Switch

The first step depends on what device you own:

iOS: Make sure both your phone and console are on the same network. Download Bedrock Together and enter the IP and Port and select Run. From there United Lands should now appear at the bottom of your Friends tab on the console as a LAN server.

Android: Make sure both your phone and console are on the same network. Download MC Server Connector and enter the IP and Port. Select Start Server and watch through the entire advert. United Lands should now appear at the bottom of your Friends tab on the console as a LAN server.

PC: Download and set up Phantom on your PC, then join from the Friends tab. Phantom is a command line application so it works through your command prompt (Windows) or terminal (macOS / Linux). Once you have the command line open, navigate to where you keep Phantom, in this example it is in the Downloads folder. Run the command cd Downloads to access it. from there you can type phantom-[your OS] play.unitedlands.org:19132 - if done correctly you'll see a series of pings going between Phantom and the server. From here you can connect to the server using your Friends tab.
