-**NOTE** - The bots for this method have limited friend slots and can be prone to slow down due to limitations set by Microsoft's friend system. It is recommended to first try the "DNS Method" before resorting to this method, as the "DNS Method" does not suffer from the same limitations. If you have already tried the DNS Method or want to try this method anyway, read on:
 	
-- In the Minecraft main menu, click "Play" and then go to the "Friends" tab, and click "Add Friend" or "Find Cross-Platform Friends" or "Search for players" (whichever is available on your game version)
-
-- Search for any of the following gamer tags:
-  	- ***BCMain*** / ***BCMain1*** / ***BCMain2*** / ***BCMain3*** / ***BCMain4***
-  	
-	... and add this user as friend
+---
 
-- Return to the Minecraft main menu, and wait about 30 seconds. Then click "Play" and return to the "Friends" tab
+ℹ️ *The public bots have been turned off until further notice due to inscalibility with player growth and other security related concerns.*
 
-- Wait a moment, and you should soon see a joinable instance show up, "Join to Open Server List". Or, you should see BCMain under the "Online" section with a joinable instance. (If the join option doesn't appear, you may need to wait another minute for the bot to process the friend request, or try adding a different bot gamer tag from above)

-- Join instance to connect to BedrockConnect server list

-*In order to make room in the friendslist, main instance bots routinely removes players from it's list that are inactive for ~1-3 days (Threshold varies depending on current traffic the bot is getting) If this happens, simply add back the gamertag.*
