NXMineNS is a .NET Core application that takes DNS requests from your Switch, and tells the switch a different IP than what it was originally looking for. This allows the use of a custom Minecraft server on console (Bedrock Edition).

In theory this should work for other consoles, however only tested on the Switch version.

Note: This might have potential to ban, not sure if DNS redirections fall under Nintendo ban hammer, please use at your own risk.
