How to join DonutSMP on Xbox and PlayStation

DonutSMP is the busiest Bedrock server we pinged, by a wide margin: over twenty thousand players on the day we checked. It is a survival server where players build, trade and fight in one shared world, with an economy run by the players themselves. It is not one of the featured servers on the console's Servers tab, so on Xbox or PlayStation you reach it through a LAN world.

Why it is not on your console's Servers tab

On Xbox and PlayStation the Servers tab only lists a handful of featured partner networks, and there is no button to add an address. DonutSMP is not one of them. Consoles can still join it through a LAN world: a world that appears on the Friends tab because a device on your Wi-Fi is showing it. That is what Warpling does from your phone.

Join DonutSMP from an Xbox or PlayStation

1. Put your phone on the same Wi-Fi as your console.
2. Install Warpling and open it. Tap the button above, find DonutSMP in Browse if it is listed there, or type donutsmp.net with port 19132.
3. Tap Start. Your phone now shows a LAN world on your Wi-Fi.
4. On the console, open Minecraft, choose Play, then the Friends tab, and join the LAN world. The game moves you on to DonutSMP.

After the hand-off your phone is out of the way: the game talks to DonutSMP directly. Your console still needs its own online membership (Game Pass Essential or higher on Xbox, PlayStation Plus on PlayStation) and a Microsoft account sign-in, as for any server.

If it does not work

• No LAN world on the Friends tab: the phone and console are almost always on different networks, or the router keeps devices apart. Walk through the eight fixes, or open Not showing up? in Warpling, which checks the usual causes for you.
• Back at the menu right after joining: the server turned the console away. The usual reasons are a game version the server does not take yet, a full server, a ban, or multiplayer switched off on the account (see parental controls).
• The server does not answer: servers go down for updates. Warpling shows whether DonutSMP is online before you start.
