How to join The Hive on Xbox and PlayStation

The Hive is one of the largest minigame networks on Bedrock, known for Bed Wars, Hide and Seek, Murder Mystery and a rotating set of seasonal games. It is one of the featured partner servers, so it is normally already on your console's Servers tab. You only need the address if you want to save it in an app, share it, or if the featured list on your console has changed.

It may already be on your console

The Hive is one of the featured partner servers, so on Xbox and PlayStation it normally sits on the Servers tab under Play: pick it there and you are in, no app needed. The featured list is Microsoft's and changes now and then. Use the steps below if it is missing on your console, or if you want the address saved and shared alongside your other servers.

Join The Hive 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 The Hive in Browse, or type geo.hivebedrock.network 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 The Hive.

After the hand-off your phone is out of the way: the game talks to The Hive 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 The Hive is online before you start.
