Server through apex what if you want to start a server yourself for free on your own computer well let’s go ahead and do that first things first we need to go to the second link down below and that’s going to take you here this is where you can download the minecraft server

Software for bedrock edition now this is still an alpha however i’ve not seen many bugs on these servers but they could be present when you’re here you want to find windows server software for windows it’s kind of weird how it repeats this but nevertheless this is

Where you want to come you want to agree to the eola assuming you do agree to it we do so go ahead and click that little tick box there and then go ahead and click on download it will then start downloading this 100 safety download because guess what this is from

Minecraft.net the official minecraft website for getting minecraft so nonetheless you can see better rock server has downloaded in the bottom left and we can go ahead and minimize our browser we then need to get the file we downloaded to our desktop to do that it’s going to be found in your downloads

Folder click on the little windows icon the top left of my screen probably in the bottom of your screen and in the center of your screen on windows 11 and yes this does work on windows 11 click that little windows icon type in downloads you have this downloads file

Folder here open that up and in here you’ll find bedrock server drag this to your desktop just for easy views once this is on your desktop you want to go ahead and right click on it and then click extract all then go ahead and click extract right like so and boom

It’s going to create a folder right here on our desktop after a few seconds five seconds it says but it’s going to take a little longer than that then we’ll have all the files we need to get our bedrock server up and running in it so let’s go

Ahead do a quick jump cut i’ll wait until this is finished and then we’ll be good to go so i didn’t catch it unfortunately but the extraction is complete and now we have a folder and the zip folder we can delete the zip folder we just need to keep the folder

Here on our desktop go ahead and open up this folder and in here you’ll be able to see basically all the stuff that you need to start your bedrock server most importantly though there’s bedrock underscore server dot exe this right here is what you’re going to double

Click to get the server up and running now if you do get this protected by windows thing it’s perfectly fine this is actually made by minecraft by mojang it’s 100 safe to run just click more info and then go ahead and click run anyway i don’t know why they don’t

Bypass that like why they don’t allow that but they do and i don’t know why but that’s the thing nevertheless we do want to make sure that both private and public are checked we want to make sure both of these are checked here and then click on allow access and if you don’t

Get the windows defender pop up don’t worry about it nevertheless here we are we have our server console this will actually look very familiar even to java players except that there’s a less information because there’s just overall less information involved with starting a bedrock server it just starts up

Differently however it should look similar at this point your bedrock server is actually live and you can double click on this howto.html here and oddly this will take you to this right and this is kind of like a general overview but just know that you don’t need this information we’re going over

All of it in your in this video however on some systems you will have issues joining it even though your friends might not and if that’s the case you can follow the tutorial here to fix that but yeah this is kind of just like a general

Setup thing which is kind of cool that they do include it and if you double click on that it will open in your web browser something that is worth noting if you do have any issues comment down below though if you do you shouldn’t nevertheless once you’re here

Your server is live and you can actually join it but we’re going to go ahead and port forward so your friends can join the server let’s go ahead and do that first first we want to go ahead and stop here so to do that you type stop stop

Right like so hit enter and it will stop the server always stop your server that way or it will have issues by the way port forwarding is required for your friends to join i have seen though for some reason on bedrock service it being required even for you to join it so

Let’s just go ahead and do that the first thing we want to do is go ahead and get some information that information can be found by opening up cmd so let’s go ahead and click that little windows icon again top left my screen bottom of your screen see another

Screen windows 11 go ahead and type in cmd you have this command prompt here open that up and in here what you want to type is ipcon fig ipconfig exactly like that and hit enter and then when you hit enter it’s going to open up this right like so

All we need from here is two numbers we need our ipv4 address and our default gateway so i’m gonna go ahead and open up notepad and make note of both of these right so we need our ipv4 and for me that is 192.168.1.67 and then we also need

1.1.67 and then we also need our default gateway here so let’s go ahead and copy that over so default gateway now if you have two strings or two strings of numbers and letters under default gateway you want to get the one that’s just numbers so if you have default

Gateway and then next to it you have like f4 any other letter or something other than a number you don’t want that one you want the one that’s under it below that there’ll be one that’s just numbers go ahead and get that one that’s the one that we need so go ahead and

Take that and copy it over here in my case that’s 192.168 excuse me 1.1 right like so now we can go ahead and close out a command prompt it’s time to port forward to do this we want to go ahead and open up our browser

So here we are in our browser and what we need to do is up here at the top copy and paste the default gateway so right up here where you would normally enter in a you know url like youtube.com or the breakdown to xyz right up here at

The top you want to go ahead and paste in right like so your default gateway when you do that and hit enter it’s going to go ahead and open up a login box right like so yours may be completely different from mine mine pops in from the top yours made in

The center of your screen maybe in a pretty graphical user interface it may pop up from the bottom but you’re going to get some sort of login box would you enter in here well your router’s username and password which is going to be different from your like wi-fi

Password or something like that to find your router username and password in the description down below we have this in-depth guide on how to find your riser password start with method one and go through method five and you’ll be able to find it most people find it by method

Three by the way and then once you’ve got that you can come back over to your router and log in which is what i’m gonna do so i’ll see you after a quick jump cut here we are logged into my router i actually believe it is uh still

Loading there we go here we are logged into my router now your router’s probably gonna look completely different from mine but guess what that’s a-okay because we have an in-depth guide on how to port forward on any router in the description down below this goes through

All the top routers out there today and it just goes through everything that you can do with port forwarding and even if your specific router isn’t mentioned guess what there’s probably a similar router in this tutorial so that’s why i recommend just watching it all the way through picking up all the different

Methods all the different words all the different terms that port forwarding can be then when you go into your router you’re gonna be good to go so nevertheless we move back to our router here and what we’re looking for is port forwarding for me that is in advance for

You it could be an advanced advanced it could be an admin it could be in advanced admin it could be an advanced administration it could be in nat gaming nat gaming it could be a nat forwarding nat 40 it could be in security it could

Also be in apps and gaming for me in an all writer it was in security and apps and gaming on this router it’s in advanced and then it’s in advanced again and then it’s port forwarding slash port triggering once we’ve found it though it’s gonna have something that looks

Similar to this you probably uh won’t have it this right here so let me go ahead and delete that yours are probably blank but it might just be like a big long list of text boxes you may also have to click like add a port forward

Which we actually have to do we have to add add a custom service here when i click on that this is where things are going to look similar to you in some way you’ll have these sort of boxes for stuff to go in so service name you can

Name this whatever you want this could also be called an id and this is going to be minecraft bedrock we’re just saying what is this for minecraft bedrock then for protocol we want to make sure tcp slash udp udp tcp or both is selected you want to make sure both of

These are selected if you can’t select both you know it’s like one do this twice everything else is same except once for tcp and once for udp you may also have to change your your id right you might have to do a different id that’s fine nevertheless once you’ve got

That we need to move on to port and anything involving the word port at all is going to be 19132 and this is different for bad rock from java so if you came from java that’s going to be like what 19132 is the port for bedrock so for

External ports guess what it said the word port so 19132 for internal port hey there’s that word port again it needs to be 19132 anything involving the word port at all is going to be 19132 from there we need to select our internal ip address this could also be

Listed as your local ip address or your local ipv4 address well guess what it is the ipv4 address we found earlier in my case 192.168.1.67 yours could be completely different and if it is that’s okay however you may also have a drop down box of devices if that’s the case select the computer

You’re starting the server on from that drop box finally go ahead and click apply and you’re good to go you have now port forwarded for your bedrock server the most important thing is that the internal or local ip address is the same as your computer and that the port is 19132

From there we need to go ahead and get our public ip address because that’s how our friends and us can join the server to do that we’re going to go to the link in the description down below what’s my ip address it’s down below and this is

Your public ip address once you’re here you want to copy it now for me you can only see 103 the last three digits because we just want to show you that i’m using the same one once we get into minecraft as you’re seeing here everything else is blacked out but as

You can see you can see your country region city state latitude longitude coordinates can all be seen here and that’s why it’s so important to only give this out to people you trust right if you get set to everybody it’s not a good idea so nevertheless we’re gonna go

Ahead and copy that and we can come back over here to our port forward by the way sometimes you’ll need an outside or external ip that’s gonna be this public ip address then we can minimize our browser and close out of this file here we don’t really need it anymore we then

Want to go ahead and fire up our bedrock server to do that just double click on that server.exe it’s going to open up right like so and then we also want to go ahead and make sure that we open up minecraft bedrock edition so i’m going to go ahead

And do that now i’m gonna open up directly you can open this up via the minecraft launcher as well it doesn’t matter i’m gonna do a quick jump cut i will meet you in game once i have uh these things better organized and we’re gonna join the server so here we are in

Game as you can see i am logged in to a account an xbox live account i don’t know if that’s required i would guess it would be so much is happening lord whatever i feel like that’s one of the things i don’t like about better rocket

Edition when you join in so much happens nevertheless let’s go ahead and click play here and then we want to go over here to servers now i might already have a server added i don’t that’s good so once you’re here you want to go to play

And then at the top you want to click on servers then you want to scroll down on the left hand side to the very very bottom and click on add server now you can name this whatever you want i was going to name it my server here and then

The server address is going to be that public ip address we got earlier again the only thing you can see is 103 at the end just to show you we’re using the same as before the port this is what we had earlier and it’s going to be 19132

Because that’s the default port for bedrock servers and that’s what we used you can then go ahead and click save and it will save the server on the left hand side here it’s going to go ahead and kind of load into it as you can see

Dedicated if we click on it it is online we can join the server you’ll see it pop in on the left hand side here and we’re good to go awesome stuff there we go now like i said in some cases you can’t join this via your public ip or you can’t

Join your server from the same computer you’re hosting the server on if that’s the case try it on another device like an iphone like minecraft you know pocket edition or something like that that can join into this server same ip address we used same port everything like that can

Join right on into this server however if you do have issues if you go into this how to file that we were talking about earlier which i need to go ahead and open up in chrome here you’ll be able to see that if this is an

Issue here’s what you can do on some systems you wish to connect to your server running a client at the same machine as long as the server is running on you need to exempt the minecraft client from up loopback descriptions basically just go ahead and copy and

Paste this into command prompt and it will fix it and again you can find this in that server directory right here nonetheless thank you so so much for watching that is how to create a bedrock minecraft server in 2022. if you have any questions let us know in the comment
