How to Add a Server on Minecraft PS5 or PS4
PlayStation Minecraft players hit the same wall as Xbox: there is usually no Add Server button. You can still join custom Bedrock-compatible servers on PS5 and PS4 in 2026.
Why PS5 Minecraft cannot type every IP
Console Bedrock multiplayer focuses on Featured Servers and friend/LAN style joins. That is why people search how to add server on Minecraft PS5, join custom server PS4 Minecraft, and PlayStation Minecraft server IP.
Easiest FadeMC method on PlayStation
- Open Minecraft Bedrock on PS5 or PS4.
- Confirm online multiplayer is available for the account.
- Open the Friends tab and add FadeMC2.
- Join FadeMC from the joinable friends list.

Other PS5 / PS4 options
Phone proxy apps
Same Wi‑Fi as the PlayStation, enter IP/port on the phone, then join the broadcast world under Friends. Common for one-off public servers.
DNS redirects
Some players change PlayStation DNS to open a custom server browser. It can work, but it is more brittle than a dedicated friend join path.
PlayStation requirements
- PlayStation network access for multiplayer where required.
- Microsoft account signed into Minecraft.
- Updated Minecraft Bedrock version matching the server.
- A server that accepts Bedrock players (or Geyser crossplay).
FAQ
Can PS5 join custom Minecraft servers?
Yes, through console-friendly methods like friend join or proxy apps — not usually by typing an IP in the Servers tab.
Does the same guide work on PS4?
Yes. PS4 and PS5 both use Minecraft Bedrock and the same general join limitations.
Can PlayStation play with Java PC friends on FadeMC?
Yes. FadeMC is Java and Bedrock crossplay. Console uses FadeMC2; Java uses fademc.gg.
