Officially, you can't add servers to console Minecraft. Unofficially, there are services like BedrockConnect that let you add servers. Not sure if it still works since the UI change. Answer from imonlytryingtohelp_ on reddit.com

Dedicated Server and Xbox (Bedrock)
I didn't read the whole thing but yes you can't easily add a server to the console versions and are limited to what they show. No there is no world syncing between consoles as there is no "minecraft" cloud to save the files to. They want you to buy a realm to play with friends on other consoles. More on reddit.com

Is Hypixel Bedrock?
Hypixel is only available for MC Java, though it used to be accessible with Bedrock Edition in the past. Hypixel studios decided to drop MCPE support for their own server given the difficulty of constantly updating it to keep it compatible with the latest bedrock version releases, deciding to spend those resources to further customize the more popular Java version of the game instead.

r/Minecraft on Reddit: Joining Custom /Private Minecraft Servers on Xbox /Console
January 12, 2024 -

I know how to connect to custom /private servers on the xbox by using the dns server list trick but surely microsoft / mojang must be looking in to another way for people to connect to custom servers on consoles.

Is there a reason why it's not just a feature already? It's easy enough to do on PC Bedrock and Java, why does it have to be different on consoles?

"EDIT" These are the guides I used to add servers on the xbox one, Hope it helps.

r/Minecraft on Reddit: Dedicated Server and Xbox (Bedrock)
December 1, 2023 -

This has been driving me crazy lately and it is regarding dedicated servers and playing on one via Xbox. I'm hoping for at least an explanation, preferably an official one.

As it stands, it would seem that you can't join a dedicated server on an Xbox. Yes, you can via LAN but for all intents and purposes this is no different than "Host/Join" on the same network.

So I really just wanna get this straight. On Bedrock. The version of Minecraft that is supposed to bring everyone "together". You literally cannot play together???

You cannot host a server and join via Xbox. The button is not there! To join a server from outside the network is not allowed within Bedrock on Xbox. You cannot play together!

In 2023, within the amazing Xbox ecosystem, where one can turn off their game, get up, go to their PC in the other room, and resume playing the same game with the same save right where they left off, then go to the bedroom and repeat the process on a second Xbox, you cannot do this on Bedrock. On Minecraft. That Microsoft owns.

You not only will have purchased separate versions (PC, Phone, Xbox), but then can't even go between the versions and sync your worlds (Xbox to Xbox being the exception) and pick up and play where you left off between devices. Unless of course you have a Realm. Or, normally/logically/whatever host a dedicated server. Which you can't even join from Xbox versions. The very same platform from which this ecosystem of parity blossomed from. The idea of "together" behind Bedrock itself!!!

There does in fact exist a complete stop. A barrier. A failure of this idea and system. You cannot join a dedicated server on an Xbox!!! You can't! Is this for real????? I just need answers. Closure. Anything.

I am well aware there are workarounds, and do please tell me about them, but that is not my main point. My point being there is a problem with the cross-play functionality that completely undermines the whole idea/point of the very version of Minecraft I've bought multiple times just to try to be able to play whenever and wherever. Wtf.
