All known reasons as to why this can occur and how to fix it can be found in the Troubleshooting page under the section "Joining the Featured Servers still directs to the actual servers and not the serverlist...": https://github.com/Pugmatt/BedrockConnect/wiki/Troubleshooting#joining-the-featured-servers-still-directs-to-the-actual-servers-and-not-the-serverlist

Good news! it seems to be working i used a wav link extender and made its dns the main dns and i logged on to minecraft but it says on servers 'coming soon'

[Pugmatt]

If not already, make sure you have the secondary DNS set to a typical DNS provider, or else it might be having connection issues. DNSs such as one of the following:

• 1.1.1.1
• 1.0.0.1
• 8.8.4.4
• 8.8.8.8

If it continues to happen, I'm not really sure why then. It can occasionally happen due to a Minecraft game client bug, which most you can do usually is reload the server list (By hitting B (when in the "Servers" tab) until you're back to the main screen, then go back to servers, and try that a couple of times until it hopefully works.)

I have tried 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 I'll try the rest later on
Thanks

I have tried both and it still doesn't work, I used it over lan it worked and then it stopped working it said couldn't fi d player instance report to git hub

[Pugmatt]

Sounds like it's connecting okay but having issues grabbing the player data for some reason. Assuming by over LAN, meaning you're hosting a local BedrockConnect instance, check your launch command for the BedrockConnect jar. It should be exactly the following:

java -jar BedrockConnect-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar nodb=true

The error "We had some trouble receiving your player data." only throws when it's having trouble grabbing data from a database, which it shouldn't try to do if database mode is disabled. So it sounds like the nodb=true startup flag might be absent from your current launch command.

I did add a server to the dB file, I'll remove that and if it still doesn't work I'll try your way

[Lgndwilloske]

Is there anything else for the dns??

[Pugmatt]

The DNS itself sounds like it's working, since it's atleasting making connection with the BedrockConnect server. (Nevermind, forgot we were talking about the LAN method) The issue now it sounds like is an error with the configuration of the local BedrockConnect instance.

I did add a server to the dB file, I'll remove that and if it still doesn't work I'll try your way

If you have a custom servers file set with the customer_servers= startup flag, that should be fine, just make sure you still also have nodb=true in your startup flags as well or the same error will occur.

Can I not connect to the dns bc of my Internet I used to be able to connect fine with virgin but I'm with bt now

[Pugmatt]

I have no idea unfortunately. You might need to continue using the LAN method.

[Lgndwilloske]

Sounds like it

Think I've figured it out the bedrock connect works on my pc e.g. I go to a featured server and it takes me to the list. The pc has 4 to 5 ports open for minecraft the ports are:
59886
54894
64031
52614
These are all udp it looks like for xbox you have to make separate port forward rules inorder to connect to the dns server on most Internet. I will see if this works of it does then you should update your page with this info on it.
