How to Join a Minecraft Server on Console

Xbox, PlayStation, and Nintendo Switch players can join FadeMC from Minecraft Bedrock by adding the friend FadeMC2. This is the cleanest path for console players who want a Java and Bedrock crossplay survival SMP.

Console Friend FadeMC2

Why console joining is different

On Minecraft Bedrock for phones and Windows, players can usually add a server address directly. On console, the server tab is more limited. FadeMC avoids that problem by letting console players add FadeMC2 as a friend and join from the Friends tab.

The regular FadeMC server address is still fademc.gg, but console players should use the FadeMC2 friend method.

Quick steps

  1. Open Minecraft Bedrock on your Xbox, PlayStation, or Nintendo Switch.
  2. Open the Friends tab and choose the option to add a friend.
  3. Add the Minecraft friend FadeMC2.
  4. When FadeMC appears in your joinable friends list, select it and join the server.
  5. Check the FadeMC Discord if the friend does not appear right away.
