How do I join on Xbox, PlayStation or Switch?

Consoles cannot type a server address. The workaround is BedrockConnect, a free third-party project that is not run by Cherry Survival. You point the console's DNS at a BedrockConnect server, which opens a server list where you can type our address. The steps below were checked against the BedrockConnect README on 5 November 2026.

1. Open your console's internet settings and set the DNS by hand to the addresses in the table. On PS5: Settings › Network › Settings › Set Up Internet Connection, pick your connection, then Advanced Settings › DNS Settings › Manual.
2. Open Minecraft, go to the Servers tab and join one of the featured servers: Mineville, Lifeboat, Enchanted, Galaxite or The Hive. Instead of that server, the BedrockConnect server list opens.
3. Choose Connect to a Server. Enter the address join.cherrysurvival.com and the port 19132.
4. Optionally save it to the list, so next time you only pick Cherry Survival.

BedrockConnect's DNS addresses can change. If a connection fails, check the BedrockConnect README for the current ones.

What happens when I first join Cherry Survival?

• You arrive at spawn with a welcome kit: a stone axe, 8 cooked beef, 16 torches, a bed, a golden shovel claim tool, a stick for inspecting claims, a Join Ticket and a Useful Commands book.
• When you are ready, a random teleport drops you into the survival world. Use /rtp to choose a world.
• New players are offered a 17-task tutorial when they arrive. Start it any time with /tutorial.
• /help opens the Server Features menu, and /commands lists the commands.
• Claim your base with the golden shovel so nobody can grief it. See the land claims guide.

Why can't I connect to Cherry Survival?

• Old Java version: the server needs Java Edition 1.17 or newer.
• Bedrock port: Bedrock needs port 19132 as well as the address join.cherrysurvival.com.
• Wrong address: use join.cherrysurvival.com. On Bedrock, the bare cherrysurvival.com does not work.
• VPN: the anticheat blocks VPNs, so turn yours off before joining.
• Console: check the DNS addresses against the BedrockConnect README.
• Whitelist: there is none, so you never need to apply.
• Still stuck? Ask in the Discord or see support.
