Plug for Minecraft – Action Game Review
![]()
Plug for Minecraft is a Action/Casual/Utilities game from Innovative Developers LTD, first launched in 4th February 2015.
It’s rated 4+ and currently has 697+ ratings on the App Store.
What Makes Plug for Minecraft Stand Out
** Another World first – Now you can also connect Plug to (and host) Minecraft running on other iOS devices, Windows 10 PCs, Xbox One, virtual reality platforms, and other mobile devices. (without anything extra to pay), all with the same Plug commands and features as when hosting on iOS. Just start the world on your other device and then use the App to host that game online!
-
Host your own server on iOS without any subscriptions EVER.
-
Full ONLINE MULTIPLAYER (including BlueTooth) – connect in seconds, not minutes like other apps (just check our reviews).
-
Get your own IP address (that’s always yours and never changes) to share with your friends, so anyone can connect from any device.
-
Play with anyone, not just Xbox Live friends, and without Live Gold membership – host on our huge network of hundreds of thousands of players.
-
Now you can use commands like ‘invisible’, ‘kick’ and ‘ban’ in Minecraft and lots more in your OWN Minecraft Server :)
-
Post your server online WITH grief protection! (Prevent use of TNT or any other item or block!) – private AND public servers supported.
-
Play with your friends over BlueTooth when a WiFi connection isn’t available.
-
Play multiplayer online on hundreds of Pocketmine servers AND thousands of servers hosted by users just like you :)
-
Make friends, and invite them to play with you.
Plug for Minecraft plugs into Minecraft to give you ‘Bukkit’ style commands in your game. Plug works in both single AND multiplayer games, so both you as the owner of the world, and players who connect are able to use the commands available.
Plug for Minecraft also adds full ONLINE multiplayer to Minecraft – not just playing with Xbox Live friends. Now you can play with friends located anywhere in the world AND voice chat with them while you play! Best of all you can now do this with Windows 10 PCs, Xbox One, virtual reality platforms, and other mobile devices too!!
All commands are controlled from inside Minecraft chat, just like Plugins on the PC version of Minecraft.
Now you can use commands like ‘invisible’ to hide yourself in worlds. For example ‘.in me on’ will hide you from all other players :)
In this version we’ve added an external hosting option. Now you can host any Minecraft games on your network just like you’re use to with iOS. This works with Minecraft on Windows 10 PCs, Xbox One, virtual reality platforms, other iOS devices, and other mobile devices – and even Pocketmine servers running on your PC.
Plug is very easy to use, all you have to do is open Minecraft and start a world. Once in the game use commands by typing them directly into the chat. For example to show help: .h
Plug is a world first and no other App exists like it on the App Store. We are constantly developing it and hope to implement many more exciting things!
V3.00 – As of version 3.00 you now need an internet connection for commands (even if you do not want to play online). However simple bluetooth connection will work without an internet connection.

Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
We LOVE this app!! Its so great for making friends and playing Minecraft with new people, we just wish it still worked!! Ive been trying everything but we cant seem to get it to work :( amazing app though.
The game is good but it just doesnt work when we sign in it says error so we cant use it wish we could if theres a way to fix it pls tell us.
We hope we are not the only one who has encountered difficulties with Voice Chat. It has been a consistently frustrating experience, and we would appreciate any suggestions or solutions that may be available to resolve this issue.
Every time we open the app, it just crashes again and again. Im hoping there will be more updates to this app in the future.
We tried loading up the app and as soon as we open it. It closes and doesnt let us in is it broken.
Ive been useing this app for years and the community is sorta great, 1 of the big downsides though is how long it takes for the app to get a update but we know it takes awhile.
Hello Im a fan of Minecraft for plug, Ive been using it for the past 5 years and it has made Minecraft less boring as we can play with other people, Id host many worlds, and a lot of people would join them, but as of when we got the app(cause we got a new device)when we host Id like people to join our world, but everytime people try joining us it says,unable to connect to world we know they arent lieing as many people we join tell us that they couldnt join and thats what happend to them. PLEASE fix this bug as its really annoying, cause we wanna make a PvP game for us and our friends to enjoy.
How do you use .e and .g commands? We used ti be able to do them acouple years ago but its not working. We also bought plug tool box.
It worked before but it crashes ob our newer phone, we cant join anyone.
We used to use this app all the time when we were growing up, but now when we go to the servers list nothing there, Im not sure if the servers are down or if we are doing something wrong, or even if no one uses this anymore.
It asked us for our vpn.Is this safe.
This app is great it just needed an update. But now it is updated so try it out.
We are trying to create a server with an IP and a Port, but we dont know what the IP or Port is. It says it is supposed to show us, but it doesnt.
We were using this app for many years having a swell time. However, recently, Ive only been able to play on servers and not be able to host them. We cannot recommend something that doesnt work completely as it should. Not only this, but we havent gotten a response from the developers support either before, and when we tried again now, they dont respond. Either something isnt supported with their systems regarding our device, or they do not care about people who actually would like some support. Dont buy the app unless your aware of what devices the app will support many years down the road. Disappointed with support.
We recently downloaded this app for fun but we cant get it to work. It seems that the app is outdated seeing as our phone has 1.17 and it only goes up to 1.16. We really wish they would keep up with it. Rip we guess.
FINALLY. After 6 months of hosting being down the servers are back up and running! The update has come and we couldnt be more overjoyed. Everybody lets celebrate.
We keep trying to type .h but nothing happens we cant do anything the only reason we put 5 stars is so that you can see this.
For some reason after the latest update no one can host any servers and the only one we can join anymore is pocketmine servers. And we dont like pocketmine, please fix this, as plug is one of the only reasons we still play minecraft.
When will it be back? Or will it ever come back.
This is probably a good plug but it wasnt the one we wanted can we have refund plz.
Inventory glitch makes it so you cant access inventory, chests, or anything where a screen comes up for you to do something.
We remember back in 2015, we bought this app when it first came out. We remember all the fun times we had, trolling our siblings till they rage quit. Now, the .e and .g commands are gone and stuck behind a paywall, even though we have purchased plug for minecraft, originally called plug PE, and plug pocketmine, their second app for minecraft. If they could give us the new app that would be cool but they dont have too. If they did it would be 5 stars though.
We know this app works, but the only problem we have is its outdated so we cant make servers with it anymore. Please update it as soon as you guys get to it.
We used to use this all the time to play with people but now theirs no one online :(.
Hi Developer! We Was Just Wondering If You Could Tell us How To Use The Hacks.
When we try to connect this to our Xbox world, the app crashes every time. Is something wrong.
We look at servers that we can join and there are no servers anymore it seems like no body plays the game is empty it feels lonely it used to be good.
Its been like 2 weeks and all hosting is down due to minecraft updates and non compatibility. Please fix.
Our plug isnt hosting a sever this is very unfair and we do not think it is there fault it is most likely a bug but please devs fix this we really want to host our sever. :( Either than That we think this app is great we were able to meet new friends using it :D.
We were on a server and the inventory broke again. It did take longer to glitch though.
We had this app for a long time but lately it will not let us sign in.
Normally five starts but it currently doesnt even work.
When we join a server a message pops up saying something about the server being to full, how do we fix that.
Good but cant find ip for our server.
People who dont have this app cant play on our server. We dont like it.
When we try to sign in it says error.
We wanted to use this in other peoples world but we could not so we wanna refund. This is not what we expected.
To use this app it provides a VPN, the VPN will let scammers send emails and Messages to you that send a (message) and .link at the end. They will send messages to everyone on your internet. You wouldnt want your kid on their iPad to press the link. Would you; this may be able to track down your location and hack devices.
When we try to join our Xbox game through external our game crashes and then plug leaves our game.
We have refreshed the app and yes the requirements were met and we were on the same wifi but still couldnt join our friend who is on xbox.
We cant make servers and we have Minecraft bedrock 1.16.201 and we can not make servers SO CAN YOU FIX IT PLZ.
We think u should make a tutorial video cause maybe we’re too stupid to understand how this works and if you do ill maybe change our review but yeah stay safe.
Its old and it needs to be updated because it crashes every time we click connect and if we start a world, plug leaves every time. Needs to be fixed.
Its a nice app, but as we said in the title it needs to die, people are still holding on to it but its been needing an update for months and even before that people just stopped hosting, the app is dead people stop holding on to it, let it die.
Waste of two dollars, fix your naming scheme idiots. Cant even refund it.
This app is garbage is cant do anything with the money never by the garbage app most of the other people we think are box we are not about this is a real love you please do not waste all your money on this garbage app.
You cant play on servers under Join Server tab and you also cant host any servers, The Proof of this is when we attempted to host recently and the fact we have not seen a single server in the last week or two, a possible explanation is it not being compatible with the new MC update cause thats when trobule occurred -User of Plug since 2015.
When we click ip to host it goes away with out sowing.
In this app you have to pay for the app but then in the game you have to pay even more to get worlds.
Some commands such as .g, .e etc. Arent working and it seems to be useless now! Multiplayer isnt working as usual anymore and we need a refund. Its useless now and Im angry >:(.
