How to Make a Server for Minecraft Pocket Edition

Chad chad please i need to make a server on pocket edition okay fine we’ll dank a video on that hello and welcome to omg craft i’m your host omg chad we’ve done a video on how to make a server for java minecraft we’ve done a video on how to make a

Server for modded minecraft well you guys have been asking how do you make a pocket edition server and i have two tools one very easy and one pretty easy on how to make a pocket edition server so let’s jump in so here we are and this is the windows

10 edition but it it works exactly the same on windows 10 pocket and the ios and android editions so what you’re going to want to do is first go ahead and click play and if you already have a world selected or a world created that you want to select to be your

Server you can just choose that or create new generate random and in the settings which you can get to from clicking this edit icon right here go to multiplayer and there you have this will create a multiplayer game which will basically create a server for you if

You’re logged into xbox you’ll have this option to broadcast to xbox live which you can choose to or not and then also the broadcast to lan option and for most players this is going to be the simplest way to do things because if you’re on the same wi-fi it

Makes stuff so much simpler if not then go ahead choose these and click play and the server will be running while the game is running and here we are doesn’t seem like much is happening but it’s all happening in the background well let’s say someone else wants to connect what

Will they have to do so here are the steps while that other server is still running you’ll have to go into your friends and if you see a friend online you can join if they are on the lan uh or on your same wi-fi network you should see their

Game show up right here but if neither of those are true you’re going to have to get your friends ip address which they can do by googling my ip and then it will show up and they do have to port forward a little bit of stuff but if they have

Done that correctly and by the way that is such a complicated topic that you’re going to have to search for that on your own but if they’ve done that correctly then you can just type in their ip address and it will work uh ip addresses tend to look something similar to that

It’s uh a few letters with dots in between them and uh it could be three or two characters and you can name this whatever you want hit save here we’ll just do uh some dummy ip there we go and i’m then hit uh we’ll name this omg craft

There we go and hit save now uh i think i hit play at first why doesn’t this like this anyway it’s probably some ip dress that doesn’t work uh it’ll show up here and it will ping the server to see if it is working now some people will not find this

Very useful what they’ll want to do is set up a server just like we do on the pc which uses a uh an actual command line interface and i have found an option for people who want to do that and it is called pocket mine and this is what it looks like up

Close don’t be scared although it is command line it is very very user friendly you can see english is en all we have to do is type in e in and hit enter and it’s going to ask us a few more questions you will have to download this and place it into

Uh some folder and actually install it but once it’s installed it looks like this do we want to skip the setup wizard now you can see that one of these is capitalized that’s the default answer and no i don’t want to skip the uh the

Wizard so i can just hit enter and it will move on now it’s going to ask me for the name of my minecraft server we’re going to call this one omg craft and hit enter then it’s going to say is this server port okay that’s the default port yes it

Is we could either type out that port or just hit enter to keep it it’s going to ask for the amount of ram that we want to use and the default is uh 256. let’s go crazy let’s do uh half a gigabyte 512. you can choose creative or survival you

Can see that in default it’s uh survival but let’s go ahead and do creative so let’s hit one uh it’s max players we could do 200 300 000 no let’s keep it down to 20 let’s just do default so we’ll hit enter this is asking about spawn protection

Which means that people who are not opt will not be able to break things around the spawn do we want to enable it no is my answer by default it’s yes but i’m going to say no it’s going to ask if we want to opt players i’m going to type in

My name omg chad you want to do a white list or have it open to everyone we’re gonna hit no a no white list it’s quick and easy to do now what this is asking is a query is tool is a tool so that other that when

You’re on your client it will ping the server to see if it is up and we want to keep this on so we’re going to choose no that’ll show up that’ll wait it’ll like show up on a on a game that the server’s online and running

Rcon is a tool so that you could remotely connect we don’t need to worry about this we’re going to do no and it will grab our external ip address so it’s just telling us what our external ip address is letting us know that other people would have to join

By adding that in and it is finished and running so now the server is up and running which is pretty amazing that we are running a pocket edition server in the command line uh we can do normal things like uh say hello world and the server i spelled world a little

Weird uh capitalization a little weird uh you can also op players uh if you want there we go we’ve opt omg chad and do a few server commands i think we could ban players here ban omg oh oh gosh oh no i don’t think it’s unbanned i think it’s uh

Let’s see if this works no i think it’s purge or there’s a weird word for it it’s um uh pardon there you go i’ve been pardoned oh thank god uh so you can do a few nice uh server commands from this the other really nice thing is that it is always

Running it’s much easier to keep this running in the background of a computer versus keeping your world and your player online at all times uh and this is much nicer the other thing that this would allow you to do is run multiple worlds and do a whole bunch of other

Stuff this is pocket mine and i have found it very useful whenever you want to stop the server all you have to do is stop and hit enter so a few more things to remember is you still have to do that dreaded port forwarding on both of these and i still have not

Done a video about port forwarding on omgcraft because literally everyone’s set up is different i am not joking if you want to learn how to port forward i would suggest google as your friend as many times you will have to google the specific model number of the router and

Or modem that you are using in order to port forward so that i’m leaving up to you to do an extracurricular activity if you will also don’t forget that if you are running the pocket edition server from the actual pocket edition as in you’re in the game remember you do have

To stay in the game if you go and leave the game the server is going to shut down and no one else can join so keep that in mind you may have to create an afk box or something of that nature to keep yourself safe while you are extended

Periods of time while you’re away from your keyboard okay thank you guys so much for watching this video if you enjoyed it please give it a like make sure you share it make sure you comment down below and of course the most important make sure you subscribe for
