Step 1: Obtain a Minecraft Server
If you don’t already have a Minecraft server, you can obtain one from Shockbyte.com. Once you have your server, proceed to the server control panel and scroll down until you find the server type. Look for “Bedrock Dedicated Server” and select the version you want.
Step 2: Install the Bedrock Dedicated Server
After selecting the server type, a pop-up will appear. Click “OK” and you will be taken to a new page where the Bedrock Dedicated Server template will be automatically selected. Click “Apply” to start the installation process. Once the server is installed, you can start it up.
Step 3: Connect to the Server
Once the server is online, you can connect to it in-game using your server IP. Open the game, click “Play,” go to “Servers,” and add the new server. Enter the server IP and port, then click “Save” to connect to the server.
Features of the Bedrock Dedicated Server
The Bedrock Dedicated Server supports every feature in the game, including full mob support and the latest updates such as Update Aquatic. This official server software released by Mojang will also be updated to include new features in future game updates.
