Can I Access 2b2t on a Nintendo Switch?

I play Minecraft on the Nintendo Switch, and I want to know: is there any way for me to get onto the 2b2t server on it?

Solution 1:

No, 2b2t is only compatible with an older version of the Java Edition client (currently at version 1.12.2 at the time of this answer). You can only join the 2b2t with the specific version of Minecraft that the server is running.

Solution 2:

It's theoretically possible - a tool called Geyser lets you connect to Java Edition servers on Bedrock, even on console, according to this video:

It may be possible to connect to 1.12 servers (using VIAaaS), but I don't have a console to test it on, and you do need a Java Edition account (and a PC or Mac) if all of this is possible, so it's more something to do as an experiment, not something to do if you don't want to buy Java Edition.

If anyone does want to do this, here are some useful links:
