How to join Cookie Build on Nintendo Switch

Minecraft on Nintendo Switch has no “Add Server” button, only featured servers. A quick DNS change lets you join Cookie Build anyway.

Server details

Enter the address and the port in two separate fields: Minecraft Bedrock does not accept “address:port” in a single field.

Step by step

BedrockConnect DNS method

Recommended

BedrockConnect 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.

  1. Open your network settings

    Go to System Settings → Internet → Internet Settings, select your network, then choose Change Settings.

  2. Set a manual DNS

    Set DNS Settings to Manual. Enter 104.238.130.180 as the primary DNS and 8.8.8.8 as the secondary DNS.

  3. Save and test

    Select Save, then test the connection.

  4. Open the Servers tab

    Launch Minecraft, select Play, then open the Servers tab.

  5. 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.

  6. Choose “Connect to a Server”

    In the BedrockConnect menu (always in English), select “Connect to a Server”.

  7. 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.

  8. 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 104.238.130.180 doesn’t work, try one of the other community DNS servers listed below.

How to undo it

Go to System Settings → Internet → Internet Settings → your network → Change Settings and set DNS Settings back to Automatic.

Tips

  • Take a photo of your current network settings before changing them, so you can restore them easily.
  • In BedrockConnect, turn on “Add to server list”: next time, Cookie Build is waiting in the list.
  • If the BedrockConnect menu closes, crouch or punch to open it again.

Frequently asked questions

Yes. Switch players join with the BedrockConnect DNS method, then play on the same server as Java, mobile and PC players.

Can I use a LAN app like BedrockTogether or Phantom?

Not on Switch: the Switch can’t see this kind of LAN game. Use the DNS method instead.

Is BedrockConnect run by Cookie Build?

No. BedrockConnect is a free, open-source community project that Cookie Build doesn’t operate. This guide only explains how to use it to reach our server.

Can I undo the DNS change?

Yes. Go back to System Settings → Internet → Internet Settings → your network → Change Settings and set DNS Settings to Automatic.
