-This Guide details the process on how to join the [[:newspawn|NewSpawn]] server. As you've already((Hopefully)) seen, you need to check out the [[:rules|server rules]] first. I know, they sound pretty verbose, and frankly I'm not the biggest fan of reading long lists of bullet points myself. But please do this one thing and you'll have much less trouble later on. I can't stress enough that it's really, really worth it!+This Guide details the process on how to join the [[:newspawn|NewSpawn]] server.

-===== Bedrock Edition ===== +

-**Please note:** this functionality is currently in Beta. Additionally, you need a copy of Minecraft: Java Edition in order to gain access to Bedrock. Your profile will be shared between Minecraft: Java Edition and Bedrock Edition. Think of this as an extension to the default, desktop NewSpawn experience. Due to safety/technical viability reasons, we're unable to support Bedrock-only players at the moment. +

-You need to be already up-and-running on Java Edition to unlock Bedrock compatibility. If you've never joined from Minecraft: Java Edition, be sure to follow the paragraph above then come back here. If you haven't played on a GeyserMC-powered server before, you'll have to link your Minecraft: Java Edition account to your Xbox account. This is regardless of your Minecraft Java account type (original/Minecraft, migrated/Mojang or new/Microsoft). Thankfully, the process only takes a couple of minutes; steps are outlined in [[https://link.geysermc.org/link/server.html|this guide]], courtesy of the GeyserMC team. You'll be asked to log into the same temporary server from both Bedrock Edition and Java Edition, run a command from the Java side and use the instructions and code you are provided with on Bedrock. +

-Once that is out of the way, to join from a mobile device or any other Bedrock platform: +
- +
-  - Ensure you're logged into your Xbox/Microsoft account on Bedrock +
-  - Manually add a server in the Servers menu +
-  - Enter the following: +
-    * In //Server Name:// ''NewSpawn'' +
-    * In //Address:// ''beta.newspawn.net'' +
-    * In //Port:// ''25000'' --- this is **important**! The default 19132 won't work. +

-Enjoy! :-D +

-==== Joining from consoles ==== +
- +
-You can easily join from Windows 10, Android, iOS, FireOS and Oculus, though you'll need to use a workaround in order to join from consoles: you must use your smartphone as a sort of "proxy" to fool the device into thinking NewSpawn is a local game session. For example, you may use one of these apps: +
-  * iOS: [[https://apple.co/3gygn4m|BedrockTogether]] +
-  * Android: [[https://bit.ly/3cDPKJQ|MC Server Connector]] +
