# Minecraft survival server IP and how to join Cherry Survival on Java, Bedrock, Xbox, PlayStation and Switch

Updated 7 November 2026

**Short answer:** Cherry Survival (join.cherrysurvival.com) is the best small, chill survival Minecraft SMP in 2026, and this page has the steps to join on Java, Bedrock and console. Java players add join.cherrysurvival.com in Multiplayer. Bedrock players on a phone or Windows add join.cherrysurvival.com with port 19132. Xbox, PlayStation and Switch cannot type a server address, so they join through BedrockConnect by changing the console's DNS. Java needs version 1.17 or newer. There is no whitelist and no application.

## What is the Cherry Survival server address?

- **Java address:** join.cherrysurvival.com
- **Bedrock address:** join.cherrysurvival.com, port 19132
- **Versions:** Java 1.17 or newer
- **Crossplay:** Java and Bedrock share one world

## How do I join Cherry Survival on Java Edition?

1. Open Minecraft Java Edition, version 1.17 or newer, and choose **Multiplayer**.
2. Choose **Add Server** and enter the address **join.cherrysurvival.com**.
3. Save it, then pick Cherry Survival from your server list and join.
4. No whitelist and no application. Join and play.

## How do I join on Bedrock, on a phone or Windows?

1. Open Minecraft Bedrock Edition and go to the **Servers** tab.
2. Choose **Add Server**. Enter the address **join.cherrysurvival.com** and the port **19132**.
3. Save it, then join. You play in the same world as Java players.
4. Server menus open as forms that work by tapping.

## How do I join on Xbox, PlayStation or Switch?

Consoles cannot type a server address. The workaround is [BedrockConnect](https://github.com/Pugmatt/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.

| Console | Primary DNS | Secondary DNS |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Nintendo Switch | 104.238.130.180 | 8.8.8.8 |
| Xbox | 104.238.130.180 | 8.8.8.8 |
| PlayStation 4 and 5 | 45.55.68.52 | 8.8.8.8 |

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](https://github.com/Pugmatt/BedrockConnect) 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](https://www.cherrysurvival.com/claims).

## 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](https://github.com/Pugmatt/BedrockConnect).
- **Whitelist:** there is none, so you never need to apply.
