Playing on Bedrock

The Dogcraft minecraft server can be joined from both Java and Bedrock Editions of the game. The server itself runs on Java Edition, but through plugins, Bedrock players are also supported. Bedrock Edition players can either join only using Bedrock, or if they also have Java, link the two accounts, and play from both platforms.

Joining Dogcraft from Bedrock

The IP address for joining Dogcraft on Bedrock is server.dogcraft.net. Alternatively, bedrock.dogcraft.net also works. The port is the default (automatically filled) number, 19132.

Bedrock only or Cross-Platform play

Users who want to play on Bedrock Edition have a choice between playing exclusively on Bedrock, or opting for Cross-Platform play using both Java and Bedrock accounts.

New players wanting to play exclusively on Bedrock should Link their Accounts with Dogcraft.net (same process as Java).

Players who have both Java and Bedrock accounts and want to play cross-platform will need to link those accounts together to comply with the rules. There is a guide on how to do that at Cross Platform Account Linking. Keep in mind that when linking Java and Bedrock accounts, progress made on Java will always overwrite progress from Bedrock.

Effects on Java Edition

Because the Dogcraft Server runs on the Java Edition of Minecraft, Java players are not effected in any way by allowing Bedrock players to join.

Effects on Bedrock Edition

Because of the differences between the Java and Bedrock editions, there are some minor bugs that Bedrock players might experience, but it should not affect gameplay in a major way. For example, redstone also works differently on Bedrock and Java. On Dogcraft, because it is a Java server, redstone works like it normally does in Java Edition. You can see the known bugs section of this page for a full list of differences.
