🎮 How to Join NinjiSMP on Nintendo Switch

Playing Minecraft on Nintendo Switch? You can play NinjiSMP too! Nintendo Switch doesn’t normally let you add custom Minecraft servers directly, so you’ll need an extra connection step to join NinjiSMP.

What You Need

• 🎮 A Nintendo Switch with Minecraft
• 🔴 An active Nintendo Switch Online membership
• 👤 A Microsoft account connected to Minecraft
• 🌐 An internet connection

Step 1 — Open Your Internet Settings

1. Open System Settings on your Nintendo Switch.
2. Select Internet.
3. Select Internet Settings.
4. Select the Wi-Fi network you’re currently connected to.
5. Select Change Settings.

Step 2 — Change Your DNS Settings

To access a custom Minecraft server from Nintendo Switch, you can use a Bedrock server-list connection service. Change DNS Settings from Automatic to Manual and enter the DNS addresses provided by the connection service you choose.

Important: Don’t enter random DNS addresses from old videos or tutorials. These services can change over time. Use the current DNS settings published by the service itself.

Step 3 — Add NinjiSMP

1. Open Minecraft on your Nintendo Switch.
2. Make sure you’re signed in with your Microsoft account.
3. Select Play.
4. Open the Servers tab.
5. Connect through the custom server-list service.
6. Add NinjiSMP as a custom server.
7. Enter ninjismp.net as the server address.
8. Enter 19132 as the port.
9. Save the server and connect to NinjiSMP.

Having trouble? Make sure your Nintendo Switch is connected to the internet, Minecraft is signed in with your Microsoft account, and your Nintendo Switch Online membership is active. If you’re using a custom DNS service, also check that you’re using its current DNS settings.
