Warpling: Join Bedrock Servers

Minecraft Bedrock on Xbox and PlayStation only lists a few partner servers. Warpling gets your console onto any other one, from your phone, in three steps.

Consoles reach everything else through a LAN world. Warpling is that LAN world: your phone shows one on your Wi-Fi, your console joins it, and the app hands the console straight on to the address you picked. After that your phone is out of the way.

No PC. No DNS to change. No account, and nothing to sign in to. Connecting is never paywalled.

HOW IT WORKS

1. Put your phone on the same Wi-Fi as your Xbox or PS4.

2. Type a server IP and port, pick a saved one, or choose one from Browse, then tap Start.

3. On the console, open Play → Friends and join the LAN world on your phone. The game moves you there.

WHAT YOU GET

• Browse: a hand-picked list of popular Minecraft Bedrock servers (survival, skyblock, PvP, minigames, prison) with live player counts and search. No IP to hunt down.

• Unlimited saved addresses. Add, rename, star and delete as many as you like.

• Live status before you start: online or not, players, latency, version.

• Notify when online: watch a server and get a notification when it comes back up.

• Play on this phone: when the game is installed on your phone too, open the same multiplayer world there with one tap.

• "Not showing up?" gives you a real diagnosis instead of a shrug. It checks your Wi-Fi, the address you typed, the server itself and whether any console has looked yet, then tells you what to fix.

• Keeps the session going in the background, and stops itself once your console is through.

• Honest about consoles. Xbox and PlayStation (tested on PS4) work this way; Nintendo Switch does not, and the app says so on the first screen rather than after you have wasted an evening.

• Survives game updates: you can set the version your phone advertises when a console is on a different one.

• In 14 languages. Pick yours in Settings, whatever language your phone is in.

WHAT IT DOES NOT DO

No analytics of ours. No account, and your game never runs through a server of ours. It never asks for your Microsoft or Sony sign-in, because it never needs one.

WARPLING PRO

Warpling is free, and getting your console online always will be. Pro is a one-off purchase that adds the home-screen widget, the full set of themes, accents and moving backgrounds, and your world listed under the server's name alone.

Install it, put your phone on your console's Wi-Fi, and your first Minecraft Bedrock server is three steps away.

Listed servers are run by their owners, not by Warpling.
