Play on Bedrock
Phone, tablet, Switch, Xbox, PlayStation or Windows — you don't need Java Edition to play here.
Eternal Realms runs Geyser and Floodgate, which let Bedrock players join the same world as everyone on Java. Same towns, same shops, same map — you just connect on a different port.
You don't need a Java account, and you don't need to buy anything extra.
1 Phone, tablet & Windows
The easy one — Bedrock lets you add servers directly.
- Open Minecraft and hit Play.
- Go to the Servers tab and scroll to the bottom: Add Server.
- Fill it in:
- Name: Eternal Realms
- Address:
play.eternalrealms.io - Port:
19132
- Save, then tap it to join. That's it.
2 Switch, Xbox & PlayStation
Consoles don't let you type in a server address — Microsoft hides that option. The trick everyone uses is to point your console at a free DNS service that swaps one of the "featured servers" for ours.
- On a phone or PC, open bedrockconnect.app and grab the DNS address closest to you — it's free and takes a second.
- On your console, open Network Settings and switch DNS from automatic to manual, then enter the DNS addresses that service gives you.
- Launch Minecraft, open the Servers tab, and pick any featured server.
Instead of joining it, you'll get a menu where you can type
play.eternalrealms.ioand port19132.
It sounds fiddly but it's a five-minute job, and you only do it once — after that the server stays in your list. Stuck? Ask in Help & Support and we'll walk you through it.
3 Your name on the server
Floodgate lets you in with your existing Bedrock gamertag — no Java account, no extra login.
Bedrock names show up with a dot in front (like .SteveBuilds) so everyone can
tell which platform you're on. That's the only difference.
Everything else works the same: you can found a town, claim land with protection stones, trade on the economy and show up on the live map exactly like Java players.
4 Things worth knowing
- Crafting looks different. Bedrock's recipe book handles our custom recipes a little differently — if something won't craft, place the ingredients manually in the grid exactly like the crafting guide shows.
- Some custom items lean on Java-only textures, so they may appear as their plain base item on Bedrock. They still work.
- Voice chat is a Java mod, so it isn't available on Bedrock.
