Bedrock Dedicated Servers allow Minecraft players on Windows and Linux computers to set up their own server at home, or host their server using a cloud-based service.^[1] This is in its early development stages, so as with any early release software, it may have severe issues. Due to this support may be stopped at any time.

The price for Minecraft Alpha was €9.95 (£8.95/$11.54). On September 18, 2010, the Minecraft authentication server broke. Notch turned this into a free weekend where everyone could download and play the game. This got the game lots of free press coverage and lots of players bought the game afterward. In Alpha 1.2.6, and some beta releases.

Configuration[edit]

BDS is a server hosting tool similar to the Java Edition server. Like Java Edition, there is a server.properties and whitelist.json file. Instead of ops.json, permissions are stored in the permissions.json file. Resource and behavior packs are in the resource_packs and behavior_packs directories. JSON files in the world directory set packs to be used, Minecraft clients generate them and can be uploaded to the server. Worlds are in a new world directory.

Connection[edit]

BDS allows users to connect except the Nintendo Switch. Xbox One users can only connect through a LAN connection. BDS uses UDP, unlike Java Edition which uses TCP. The default port for IPv4 is 19132, the default port for IPv6 is 19133; These can be changed in server.properties.

By default, Minecraft for Windows 10 does not support connections to a server hosted on the same machine (where you connect via 127.0.0.1/localhost). To fix this you must launch Windows PowerShell as an administrator and run the following:^[2]

Alternatively, you can grant loopback exemption by Security Identifier (as recommended in bedrock_server_how_to.html file bundled with the server download). Launch PowerShell as an administrator and run the following:^[3]

Whitelist[edit]

To use the whitelist, it needs to be enabled in server.properties. When enabled, the server will only allow selected users to connect, and you will need to know the Xbox Live gamertag and (optionally) XUID^[4] of all players who want to join the server; players without an Xbox Live gamertag will not be able to connect. If your server is public and you do not enable the whitelist, you will not be able to ban players from the server.

To learn more about whitelisting, check out the bedrock_server_how_to.html file bundled with the server download). If you are having trouble with player behavior on a server that you own, whitelisting may be a good way to solve the issue.

Startup and maintenance scripts[edit]

The contents of this section are not supported by Mojang Studios or the Minecraft Wiki.

• BDSAddonInstaller A node.js tool used for automatically installing, updating, and uninstalling addons/packs.
• MCscripts systemd units, bash scripts, and chat bots for backups, automatic updates, installation, and shutdown warnings
• MinecraftBedrockServer Sets up a Minecraft Bedrock dedicated server on Ubuntu / Debian / Raspbian / Armbian with options for automatic updates, backups and running automatically at startup
• MCBEPlay MCBEPlay is primarily a Windows 10 GUI for the official BDS System, that enables you to control and manage your Minecraft Bedrock Edition Server with little to no knowledge of server systems. It also has automatic backups, can save automatically, and has auto restarts.
• WinMSSScripts WinMSSScripts is a basic batch file to help create maintain backups of your worlds and log files as you run the official BDS System on Windows systems.
• bedrock-in-docker Docker image for install, update, backup&restore and run the Minecraft Bedrock server.

Issues[edit]

Since this server software is still in Alpha phase, it still lacks many things from Java Edition:^{[feedback 1]}

• Server ignores default player permission level in server.properties
• /reload for reloading to prevent crashes, similar to the one in Java Edition
• A command to transfer between different worlds, similar to Lifeboat's world transfer system
• A server invite system that allows Xbox One and Nintendo Switch users to connect, similar to Realms
• Running the server on other platforms, similar to Lifeboat's Steadfast 2 server software on MacOS
• Support for websocket server, similar to /wsserver
• Experimental gameplay is not supported directly, need to use third-party applications to modify world

History[edit]

The server follows the client's release cycle.^[5]

Mods (short for modifications) change Minecraft​'s game content in some way, such as to make minor adjustments to the game's mechanics or implement entirely new features.

• 2Types of mods

Purpose[edit]

Most mods add content to the game to alter gameplay, change the creative feel, or give the player more options in how they interact with the Minecraft world. Some mods may be bigger expansions, while others add more settings and options to optimize speed, graphics, or gameplay of the game. Server mods or plugins mainly give server admins more options and ease of use, and most mods for single-player have a server version that allows or optimizes the mod in multiplayer.

When the base game is updated, the creator of a mod must updates the mod accordingly, otherwise the mod may no longer work.

An official way of creating mods called add-ons is available for Bedrock Edition.

Types of mods[edit]

Client-based[edit]

Client mods are direct modifications of the Minecraft game files. They are not custom clients, as they require modification of the client.jar file. These require mod loaders such as Minecraft Forge or Fabric.

Because the Minecraft server software ignores custom content from the client side, most of the client mods which add new content to the game do not work in multiplayer unless a modification has also been installed on the server. Some authors of client mods have made server versions of their mods available, and others have not. A few of the Loader/API-type client mods and many of the functional client mods (e.g. OptiFine or TooManyItems) have effect in multiplayer straight away, without any modification on server side.

Server-based[edit]

Server mods are modifications to the official Minecraft server software. They are commonly designed to make the administration of servers easier by implementing tiered privileges for commands (such as kicking, banning, etc.). They are frequently implemented as 'wrappers' which do not modify the main server .jar file, instead of monitoring its output and sending commands to it.

Mod packs[edit]

Mod packs are collections of mods that have been put together and configured so that they all work together. Mod packs are often centered around a general theme like tech, quests, or magic. Mod packs often have either custom launchers or installers that make installing and running the mod pack easy. Some popular mod packs include Feed The Beast, Tekkit, and Hexxit.

Many mod packs can be found on custom launchers, which make it easy to install and launch various mod packs. In addition to making it easy to install mod pack clients, certain launchers can also download server mod packs.

Crash reports[edit]

If Minecraft crashes, a modified game is flagged in the crash report.

The crash report text includes one of these lines near the bottom:

A shortened example crash report is given below:

The code that checks for mods is fairly simple, and it's not always correct; it may say 'probably not' even with mods installed. However, it's very difficult to get the 'very likely' message if you haven't modified your Minecraft .jar file somehow, so that's essentially a 'yes'. There's also a 'definitely' message, seen when a Bukkit server crashes and under other similar circumstances, like when the Minecraft Forge API is installed.

'Probably not' appears when the client/server brand appears to the in-game check to be unaltered (often termed 'vanilla') and the META-INF folder is still there. 'Very likely' appears when the META-INF folder is not present but the client/server brand seems to be vanilla. 'Definitely' plus the client name appears when the client is not vanilla:
