If you plan on having a crossplay server (geyserMC), then you can use the same port for both services- since java edition uses TCP and bedrock uses UDP. When adding a regular server, you want an SRV record. SRV records allow you to silently specify a port to use, without a user manually inputting it.

What is this?
This is a guide to use your own servers on platforms that run Minecraft (Bedrock Edition) that do not have this ability built into the game.
What platforms/versions have been reported working?
•Minecraft Bedrock Edition v1.11.4 for Xbox One •Minecraft Bedrock Edition v1.16.1 for Nintendo Switch This guide may also work on other platforms which run Minecraft Bedrock Edition in future, and new versions of the game, however support isn't guaranteed. If it is working on platforms not listed above, please create an Issue saying as such, and I can update the list above. This will not work on any deprecated version of Minecraft (such as Minecraft for Nintendo Switch or the old PS4 version).
How does this work?
Mojang added to the game an option on the Play menu labelled "Featured Servers" - these are servers approved and deemed as "safe" by the team at Mojang, and so, are allowed on platforms where it is deemed custom servers aren't allowed. The domain names for these Featured Servers however are fixed (for example, "Lifeboat Network" has the fixed address of mco.lbsg.net). As such, by using a custom DNS server, we can report mco.lbsg.net to be located at the IP of your custom server.
Requirements
•A Bedrock Compatible Minecraft Server •As mentioned, this can be any server software you wish, however, it has been primarily tested with the official server software that Mojang releases •This needs to be set to use port 19132 (the default port) and should be open to the internet •Whitelists are recommended to stop trolls, however, it's up to you •A server which you can reach DNS from •This can be locally on your network, but, if you want friends to be able to use it, you likely want to have port 53 avaliable •To make this easier, I use a droplet I had from DigitalOcean lying around, and installed the DNS server there, so I didn't need to open my home server's DNS up •A domain name is recommended - if you don't have one, a dynamic address from NoIP or similar provider is fine - this is just to ensure that if your IP does change, your server doesn't stop working This guide assumes your server is already working. To test this, you can use Minecraft for Windows 10, or Minecraft on mobile devices (for those of you on Linux, check out the project MCPELauncher).
DNS Setup on the server
1.Download CoreDNS •In case the config spec changes in future, this guide uses version 1.5.0 2.Extract it with tar -xzf coredns_1.5.0_linux_amd64.tgz (Windows users: use 7zip to extract this archive) 3.Create a file named Corefile (no extension) in the same folder as the Coredns executable. 4.Open it, and copy the following contents in While doing this, replace example.com with the address for your server (this cannot be a raw IP address). If you want to use a DNS server other than Cloudflare's for any other requests, change 1.1.1.1 1.(Skip this step if you use Windows) Mark CoreDNS as executable using chmod +x ./CoreDNS 2.Run CoreDNS •On Windows, you can run CoreDNS.exe from command prompt •On Linux, you will need to use root permissions to run it, as Linux prevents non-root processes from communicating on port 53 - do this with sudo ./CoreDNS
DNS setup on the console
1.Ensure Minecraft is fully closed (not just suspended) 2.Head to Settings > Internet > Internet Settings 3.Tap your preferred Internet connection, then tap "Change Settings" 4.Scroll down to "DNS Settings" and change this from "Automatic" to "Manual" 5.In Primary and Secondary DNS, enter the IP address of your DNS server •If you aren't sure of the IP of your server, there are multiple websites on the internet to find this •If you are on a cloud server (e.g a DigitalOcean Droplet/Linode Instance) check your providers web panel for this (you should already know it though) •For stability you should repeat the DNS server instructions on two different servers, on unique networks, so if one becomes unavaliable, you don't lose network connectivity on your console 6.Tap "Save", then "Connect to This Network" 7.Go to the home screen, and open Minecraft 8.Go to "Play" then navigate across to "Servers" - the Lifeboat network should now show your MOTD 9.Connect to the "Lifeboat Network" - you should now connect to your server instead
If you have improvements/fixes (including typos/grammar - mine is likely appalling!) you wish to add to this guide, please make a pull request.
If you want to report specific compatibility with platforms/versions not listed, please make an Issue, and report the platform, version of the game, and how well this trick works, and the guide can be updated with that information.
If you want to play using a Java server, check out Geyser. It works well, and lets me play on Java servers while curled up in bed.
If you want to have a server browser on Switch, check out BedrockConnect. It's great as it means at most you take out one of the built in servers, and lets you have many many more saved. It's also light enough to be ran on a Raspberry Pi without issues.
chunker.app is a web tool developed by the HiveMC team which lets you convert your world formats from Java edition to Bedrock, and vice-versa. It's a completely online tool that can be done within a couple minutes!
