Playing on consoles

Joining Spooncraft on consoles is a bit more difficult than on other versions of the game, however this page will guide you through the process.

This service is provided by BedrockConnect.

If you’re having any problems with this, you can let us know in #in-game-help on discord and we’ll try to help you out :P

On your home menu, open the System Settings.
Go to Internet, then Internet Settings, select the network you are currently connected to, and select Change Settings.

Leave the port as default (19132), select Add to server list for future convenience, and then select Submit. You should now be connecting to Spooncraft.

If you’re still unable to connect after following these steps, you can try the suggestions below.

Restart your console and try again.
Go back to the Minecraft title screen, enable and then disable local mode by pressing Y, and try connecting again after it shows a number next to ping on the server list.
Repeat the instructions again, but use 173.82.100.84 as the Primary DNS instead.
If you have a mobile device you can use, reset your console’s network settings, download this Android app or this iOS app, enter the server IP and port, and join the server from friends on your console.
