BedrockConnect DNS method
RecommendedBedrockConnect is a free, open-source community service that turns a featured server into a menu where you can type any server address. It is not operated by Cookie Build.
Open your network settings
PS5: Settings → Network → Settings → Set Up Internet Connection, highlight your current connection and open Advanced Settings. PS4: Settings → Network → Set Up Internet Connection → Wi‑Fi or LAN cable → Custom → your network, then choose Automatic for IP Address Settings and Do Not Specify for DHCP Host Name.
Set a manual DNS
Set DNS Settings to Manual. Enter 45.55.68.52 as the primary DNS and 8.8.8.8 as the secondary DNS.
Save and test
PS5: select OK and wait for the connection test. PS4: choose Automatic for MTU Settings and Do Not Use for Proxy Server, then test the connection.
Open the Servers tab
Launch Minecraft, select Play, then open the Servers tab.
Join a featured server
Join one of the featured servers that BedrockConnect can redirect (Mineville, Lifeboat, Enchanted, Galaxite, The Hive). The BedrockConnect server list opens instead of that server.
Choose “Connect to a Server”
In the BedrockConnect menu (always in English), select “Connect to a Server”.
Enter Cookie Build’s details
Type play.cookie-build.com in “Server Address” and 19132 in “Server Port”. Turn on “Add to server list” to find Cookie Build in the list next time.
Join Cookie Build
Submit the form: BedrockConnect transfers you straight to Cookie Build.
While the custom DNS is active, the redirected featured servers open BedrockConnect instead. If 45.55.68.52 doesn’t work, try one of the other community DNS servers listed below.
How to undo it
Open the same network menu and set DNS Settings back to Automatic. On PS4, you can also run Set Up Internet Connection again and choose Easy.
