How to Add a Server on Minecraft Xbox
If you open Minecraft on Xbox Series X, Series S, or Xbox One and cannot find Add Server, you are not missing a menu. Console Bedrock simply does not include that button. You can still join custom servers.
Why there is no Add Server button on Xbox
Minecraft Bedrock on Xbox only shows Featured Servers in the Servers tab. PC and mobile still get Add Server. That platform limit creates searches like how to add server on Minecraft Xbox, Xbox Minecraft no add server button, and join custom server Xbox Series X.
Best way to join FadeMC on Xbox
- Open Minecraft Bedrock on Xbox.
- Confirm multiplayer is allowed on your Microsoft / Xbox privacy settings.
- Open Play → Friends → Add Friend.

- Join FadeMC when it becomes joinable.

Other Xbox methods people use
Phone proxy (BedrockTogether-style)
Phone and Xbox on the same Wi‑Fi. Enter a Bedrock IP/port in the app, start the proxy, then join the LAN listing under Friends. Handy for random servers, extra friction every session.
DNS / BedrockConnect
Manual DNS on Xbox network settings can unlock a custom server list. It works for power users, but it changes console networking and may need redoing after updates.
Xbox checklist before you troubleshoot
- Minecraft is fully updated from the Microsoft Store.
- Xbox multiplayer privileges are on for the profile.
- You are signed into a Microsoft account inside Minecraft.
- You typed FadeMC2 exactly for FadeMC.
- You waited after adding the friend — listings are not always instant.
