Connecting to a Minecraft Bedrock server from an Xbox console provides players access to various online servers and gameplay experiences. This allows Xbox players to communicate with friends and other players across different platforms, including Nintendo Switch and PlayStation, and to explore new worlds and game modes. With the Xbox's online features and controller-based gameplay, players can easily connect to Minecraft Bedrock servers and enjoy a fun and social gaming experience.
Note: The DNS settings changed allow the player to connect to BedrockConnect, allowing the console to connect to any server IP and a public DNS resolver.
