Let console players join your server

On Xbox and PlayStation, Minecraft only lets players join a short list of featured servers. There is no Add Server button, so everyone else's server — probably yours — is out of reach. MC LAN Proxy is a free Android app that gets them in: it makes your server show up on the console as a LAN game. Put a Play on console button on your website or Discord, and console players can join you in about a minute.
19132).Discord does not show images in messages, so post the announcement below there instead.
For posters, a spawn sign or a stream overlay. A phone camera opens the join link.
The QR code library did not load. Check your connection or content blocker and reload.
For your players, yes. MC LAN Proxy is free with ads and a play-time limit that a short ad extends. MC LAN Proxy (Pro) is the paid version, with no ads and no time limit. The button, the badges and this generator cost you nothing.
No. The app runs on the player's phone and relays ordinary Bedrock traffic to your address and port. No plugin, no whitelist entry, no setting. If a Bedrock player on a phone or PC can join you, a console player can join through the app.
For a Java server, that means GeyserMC must already be letting Bedrock players in. Use Geyser's Bedrock port, not the Java one.
A Switch cannot see LAN games, so the app has a separate, experimental Switch mode that publishes your server as a friend's world. It signs in to a Microsoft account, Microsoft has not approved that, and accounts have been banned for it, so players should use a spare account, never their main one. See Minecraft servers on Nintendo Switch before recommending it.
The app sends nothing about the player to you. The link carries only your server's address, port, display name and the campaign tag you chose, all of which you typed above. Players reach your server as ordinary Bedrock connections, so you see what you always see.
The campaign tag travels with the Google Play install so the app's developer can count installs that came from server links. It identifies your link, not the player. See the privacy policy.
Almost always one of three things: the phone and the console are on different networks, the app is not started, or the player has already saved your address under Servers — Minecraft hides a LAN game whose address is saved there. The troubleshooting guide walks through each.
