Players using Xbox to join Bedrock servers will need to follow a specific configuration on their console. You’ll be changing the DNS settings of the system. This involves you editing the IP address of your primary DNS server to 104.238.130.180. Keep this in mind when following along below to play with others on Minecraft Bedrock Edition. Besides this, these changes won’t interfere with other games, but you can revert the addresses if you want.

1. Open your Xbox settings, then click General and select the Network Settings option.

2. Go to Advanced Settings and choose the DNS Settings option, then press Manual.

3. Begin to tweak the Primary IPv4 Address to 104.238.130.180.

4. As for the Secondary IPv4 DNS, enter 8.8.8.8 or 1.1.1.1 for its field.

5. Save these changes so the console can perform a connection test to confirm it works. Finally please restart your xbox.
