When attempting to join public Minecraft Java Edition servers (e.g., Minefort) from a PC using a mobile hotspot on the Jio network, the game laggy , when we use cloudflare desktop WARP ping issue will be resolved , but in Bedrock via pocket edition the game gets stuck at "Locating server" and eventually shows "Unable to connect to world". This issue occurs only with Bedrock Edition; Java Edition works with some latency.
Game Version: Minecraft Bedrock Edition (latest)
Platform: Windows 11
Mobile Device: Realme 8 5G (Android)
Network Provider: Jio (India)
Connection Method: Mobile Hotspot (Wi-Fi tethering)
Router/CGNAT: Mobile network uses CGNAT (Carrier Grade NAT)
What Happens:
On Bedrock Edition: Attempting to join a server (e.g., Minefort, Any servers) shows “unable to connect world '“, “Locating Server…” After a timeout, the message becomes “Unable to connect to world”. Using VPNs (e.g., Cloudflare WARP or Proton) sometimes allows connection, but causes high ping and packet loss
On Java Edition: Server connects, but shows delayed player interactions unless Cloudflare WARP is used.
CGNAT from Jio network blocks or interferes with UDP traffic on port 19132 (Minecraft Bedrock default port).
Bedrock servers use UDP-based handshake; this gets blocked or fails NAT traversal.
VPNs that tunnel TCP-only cannot handle real-time UDP packet exchange properly — causing lag or failure.
