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
Go to System Settings → Internet → Internet Settings, select your network, then choose Change Settings.
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.
Save and test
Select Save, 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 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.
