Chunklink – Bedrock Servers

Your console can't type a server address. Your phone can. Chunklink puts any Bedrock server in the LAN games list of your Xbox, PlayStation or Switch.

Minecraft on Xbox, PlayStation and Nintendo Switch has no field for a server address. Chunklink gives your console one: type the address into your phone, press start, and the server shows up in the console's LAN games list like a game from the next room.

Free. No account. No ads.

HOW IT WORKS

1. Add a server. Paste the address a friend sent you, or start with one of the two the app comes with.
2. Press start. Your phone announces the server on your Wi-Fi.
3. On the console, open Minecraft and go to Play → Friends. The server is there under LAN Games, with its real name.
4. Join. The console connects to the server directly, and once everyone is in you can put the phone away.

WHAT YOU NEED

• Phone and console on the same Wi-Fi. A hotspot from the phone works too.
• "Visible to LAN Players" switched on in Minecraft's multiplayer settings on the console. It is off more often than you'd think, and it is the number one reason nothing shows up.
• On a Nintendo Switch: an active Nintendo Switch Online subscription, and Minecraft in Online mode rather than Local Wireless.

Nothing to install on the console, nothing to change on it, no DNS tricks.

TWO WAYS A CONSOLE JOINS Most servers get the direct hand-off above, and your phone is out of the picture seconds after the console is in. If a server runs a Minecraft version the hand-off doesn't cover yet, Chunklink passes the whole connection through your phone instead: the app stays open and the screen stays on for as long as anyone plays, the battery notices, and a Nintendo Switch cannot join that way at all. The app tells you which of the two you're getting before you start.

Chunklink asks for Local Network access the first time. That is the whole feature: consoles look for games on the local network, and your phone answers. It never asks for your location. Saved servers stay on your phone.

Works with any Bedrock server, whoever runs it: a Bedrock Dedicated Server, a Java server with GeyserMC, or a Chunklink server.
