#### Xbox, PlayStation and Nintendo Switch

Consoles do not normally allow players to add custom servers directly. You may need to use a third-party connection method such as BedrockTogether or a DNS-based server connector.

> Console connection methods are not officially provided or supported by Coppercore SMP, so staff may not be able to troubleshoot issues caused by those services.

Bedrock players may notice small differences in menus, combat, custom items or certain plugin features. Any major compatibility issues should be reported through a support ticket.

***

### Discord Verification

Once you join, you’ll need to link your Minecraft account to Discord before gaining full access to the community.

Run:

```
/discord link
```

Copy the code provided and follow the instructions shown in chat.

{% hint style="info" %}
You only need to link your account once. Your link is tied to your Minecraft account, so changing your username should not require you to verify again.
{% endhint %}
