			== Disabling Automatic Updates ==
			While we try to remain as up-to-date as possible, it often takes a short while after a Minecraft update before our servers, plugins, and compatibility layers can be updated to match—usually a few weeks, sometimes longer. This delay can cause issues for Bedrock Edition players, which we attempt to mitigate with plugins that allow forward compatibility. However, even these plugins can take several days to update, during which time Bedrock players whose games have already auto-updated may be unable to connect.

			To avoid being locked out during this period, you can temporarily disable automatic updates for Minecraft. This isn’t normally recommended, since it prevents you from receiving important bug fixes and security patches in a timely manner. We suggest only disabling automatic updates when a new Minecraft version is about to release, and re-enabling them once our forward-compatibility plugins are updated.

			=== How to Disable Automatic Updates ===
			'''Windows (Microsoft Store)'''

			# Open the Microsoft Store.
			# Go to '''Settings'''.
			# Under ''App updates'', set '''<code>Update apps automatically</code>''' to <code>Off</code>.

			'''iOS (iPhone & iPad)'''

			# Open '''Settings'''.
			# Scroll to '''App Store'''.
			# Under ''Automatic Downloads'', set '''<code>App Updates</code>''' to <code>Off</code>.

			'''Android (Google Play Store)'''

			# Open the '''Google Play Store'''.
			# Tap your '''profile icon''' in the top-right.
			# Go to '''Settings > Network preferences > Auto-update apps'''.
			# Select '''<code>Don’t auto-update apps</code>'''.

			'''Xbox (Xbox One / Series X\|S)'''

			# Press the '''Xbox button''' on your controller.
			# Go to '''Profile & system > Settings > System > Updates'''.
			# Uncheck '''<code>Keep my games & apps up to date</code>'''.

			'''PlayStation (PS4 / PS5)'''

			# From the Home screen, highlight '''Minecraft'''.
			# Press the '''Options''' button on your controller.
			# Select '''Check for Update''' to see current status.
			# To disable auto-updates globally:
			#* Go to '''Settings > Saved Data and Game/App Settings > Automatic Updates'''.
			#* Turn off '''<code>Auto-Download</code>''' and '''<code>Auto-Install in Rest Mode</code>'''.

			'''Nintendo Switch'''

			# From the Home screen, highlight '''Minecraft'''.
			# Press the '''+''' or '''–''' button on your controller.
			# Select '''Software Update > Via the Internet''' to update manually when ready.
			# To stop auto-updates globally:
			#* Go to '''System Settings > System'''.
			#* Turn '''<code>Auto-Update Software</code>''' to <code>Off</code>.

	== Joining from ~~PlayStation~~ ==		== Platform-Specific Joining Instructions ==
			Joining from most Bedrock platforms is relatively straight-forward, via navigating to the "Servers" tab, selecting "Add Server" then entering our IP <code>play.badwolfmc.com</code> and port <code>19132</code>. However, some platforms can be a little quirky with servers:

			=== Nintendo Switch ===
			For reasons beyond our understanding, some Switch users have reported the necessity to join one of the default servers first before getting the option to add their own. Several videos exist to explain how this works, such as [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ms2zTWy_BCQ this one].

			=== Playstation ===
	Joining from a PlayStation is slightly different from most other consoles since this edition of the game does not allow you to modify the available servers by default. However, some apps exist to allow you to connect via a LAN proxy. Please note that both of these options require the device running the proxy to be on the same network (i.e. connected to the same WiFi) as the PlayStation. BadWolfMC is not associated with these and cannot offer technical support for using them.
