1.9 the hive minecraft server pc manual#
Nothing can really be done except wait when on the game console for the cache to clear, as there isn't a manual way to do it on these devices.Īnother possible issue is that some of the featured servers such the Hive, use DNSSEC, which is used to protect itself from being overidden by DNS servers such as BedrockConnect. Some featured server aren't redirecting to the serverlist If some featured servers are redirecting to the BedrockConnect serverlist, and some aren't, this can be an issue with the DNS cache on the device/game console not updating.

Look under 'Using your own DNS server' further down this page for more on that. If you still don't feel comfortable using the BedrockConnect DNS server, you can also make your own. If you fear a MITM attack, you can also verify any domains you fear the DNS server are overriding by pinging them in command line or another tool. (Full list of records under the "Using your own DNS server" section) It's understandable though why some might not want to use a random DNS server. The public BedrockConnect DNS server only redirects the domains of the "Featured Servers" in Minecraft to the BedrockConnect serverlist. In this case, we make the 'Featured Server' domains direct to our own server. Anyone can technically create a DNS server, and have it associate whatever IP they want to a domain. Commonly used ones include Google or Cloudflare DNS. Your device sends the DNS server a domain name and asks what IP is associated with it, and the DNS server sends an IP back for the device to connect to. What is a DNS server? A DNS server is what devices uses to know what domain names go with what IP address. The server can transfer you to the server you want, and you can store servers as well, just like a regular serverlist. Yes, you join Minecraft servers, from a Minecraft server. The BedrockConnect serverlist server, is a specially made Minecraft server that serves the purpose of joining Minecraft servers. By using a DNS server, we can make the domains that are used to join these servers, and make them direct to the BedrockConnect serverlist server, rather than their actual servers. How does it work? In Minecraft Bedrock Edition, players on any version can join the available 'Featured Servers'.


On Minecraft Bedrock Edition, players on Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PS4/PS5 are limited to playing on 'Featured Servers' approved by Mojang/Microsoft.
